XA-40-7703
Kompensator S/A
SAF-Holland

The compensator assembly for the secondary locking system acts as a damping and alignment element, minimizing dynamic misalignment during articulation and abrupt vehicle maneuvers. With a specified mounting height of 6 inches, this component is designed to maintain stable engagement force across varying ride conditions, reducing peak loads transmitted into the locking mechanism and adjacent structures. VMRS 059-001-135 places it within the standard SAF-Holland compensator family, while category 42518 groups it with related load-balancing and alignment accessories used in fifth-wheel and sliding assemblies. The practical benefits include smoother operation, reduced wear on primary and secondary lock interfaces, and improved overall stability of the coupling under heavy-duty cycles. Its robust construction supports long service life in harsh environments, and its integration with other S/A components helps ensure consistent performance across a fleet performing frequent hitching, unhitching, and road-side adjustments.
