Kurt DBKIT-NOBAR | Unit-Less Drawbar Rod

Description

The Kurt DBKIT-NOBAR is the powerhead only kit designed for rapid integration into existing drawbar systems where the drawbar rod is supplied separately. The Kurt DBKIT-NOBAR powerhead provides pneumatic actuation via an included switch and FLR to automate tool retention cycles and reduce manual handling. As a Kurt Unit-Less Power Drawbar Rod powerhead, it is specified for retrofits and maintenance tasks where operators require a reliable actuation module without a bundled rod. The unit is compact, serviceable, and intended for workshop or production use where quick commissioning and low downtime are priorities. It is supplied without a drawbar to allow customers to match rod length and taper to their machine. Use this kit to replace a worn powerhead or to upgrade a manual drawbar to an automated powerhead solution.
