Description
Overview:
The Overrun Coupling Damper for AL-KO 161S Trailer Couplings (MPN 764 074) is a replacement damper used within the overrun braking mechanism on braked trailers fitted with the AL-KO 161S coupling. The damper controls the telescopic movement of the coupling drawtube during braking and acceleration, helping to reduce snatch, judder and harsh engagement while protecting the coupling and brake linkages from shock loads. Built for regular service in commercial and fleet use, it restores predictable, progressive braking performance and assists the hitch in returning smoothly after braking. This unit is intended specifically for AL-KO 161S pattern overrun couplings commonly found on plant, goods, car transporter and general-duty trailers. Always confirm the coupling model from the ID plate or casting before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Key Features:
- Direct-replacement damper for AL-KO 161S overrun couplings
- Controls drawtube travel to smooth brake application and release
- Helps reduce towing snatch and impact loads on the coupling and brake rods
- Installs using the coupling's original mounting points (check existing hardware condition)
- Suitable for regular trade, fleet and plant trailer use
- Designed for braked trailer applications using the AL-KO 161S family of couplings
- Aids consistent braking performance when laden or unladen
- Match to the exact coupling variant and rating for correct operation
Typical Applications:
Used within the AL-KO 161S overrun coupling assembly on braked trailers. Typical installations include plant and machinery trailers, car transporters, general-duty and goods trailers, and other commercial towing set-ups that specify the AL-KO 161S coupling. The damper is fitted between the coupling body and the moving drawtube to moderate movement under braking and during take-up, improving towing stability and component life.
