Bar Tie
SAF-Holland

Rigid tie bar used to maintain alignment and structural integrity between linked components in the SAF-Holland release and mounting assemblies. This member provides a stable cross-connection that minimizes flex, distributes loads evenly, and preserves axial relationships during operation. Its geometry supports precise fastening to adjacent arms, plates, and brackets, enabling repeatable assembly across fleet equipment. By resisting torsional and bending stresses, it helps maintain consistent engagement and disengagement cycles, reducing wear on pins, bushings, and seals. The VMRS code associates this part with a bar tie function within the component family, and the category context indicates its role alongside other structural links in harnessing and mounting systems. In service, technicians rely on this tie bar to preserve alignment during road shocks, stop-and-go turns, and long-haul vibrations, contributing to longer component life, smoother operation, and lower maintenance costs in demanding conditions.
