Test methodology for validating drop arm of a tractor mechanical steering system under bi-axial loadingBy Abhirup Chakraborty, K Arunachalam .
Abstract: The drop arm is a part of tractor mechanical steering system which connects the steering gearbox to drag link. The function of the drop arm is to convert the rotary motion of the steering gear shaft into linear motion of the drag link. During vehicle testing in the field drop arm failure was observed, which was not captured in the component level testing. Typically drop arm durability test is carried …
