Experimental study of the S-shaped load element of the soil tillage machine

This article discusses the design of the strut of a tillage machine in the form of an S-shaped power element, using flexible tubular elements (Bourdon springs). Racks of this type are proposed for copying the soil microrelief, maintaining the depth of soil cultivation using a hydraulic drive. The possibility of using the S-shaped rack of the tool of the tillage machine, using flexible tubular elements, to ensure the copying of the soil micro-relief, compliance with the specified working depth, has been experimentally proved. Evaluation of the sensitivity and traction capacity of the S-shaped load-bearing element of the rack will allow us to speak of the ability to create displacements within 120 mm and traction forces up to 1600 N, at a maximum pressure of 6 MPa.
