Description
Overview:
Coupling Damper for Knott KF/KR17-20 (MPN 763 899) is a hydraulic overrun damper used in the drawbar of braked trailer couplings to control compression and rebound during braking. It is intended for Knott KF and KR 17-20 series overrun couplings and restores smooth, consistent coupling movement where the original unit has weakened or failed. The damper is manufactured by Stabilus, a German producer of damping components, and follows the Knott dimensional pattern for the 17-20 family to ensure correct fitment within the coupling yokes and housings. Key connection and length dimensions are provided to aid identification and replacement. Use during coupling refurbishment, brake service, or when symptoms such as judder, snatch or excessive free movement are present.
