Impact bars distribute impact load over a large surface area and are used in safety equipment for automobiles, conveyor belts, and people transport systems. They come in different materials and sizes, with a rectangular cutout design for strength and weight reduction.
An impact bar is a special mechanical device that distributes the load of an impact over a large surface area. The bar is made with a special rectangular design which forces any impacted weight to be distributed over the entire surface of the bar. These types of bar designs are often used in safety equipment for automobile doors, bumpers and roll cages. They are also used as weight support for conveyor belts.
Many cars and trucks include crash bars throughout the cabin. These safety devices enclose the occupants with bars in the doors, bumpers and roof. The bars make the car safer in the event of collisions and rollovers.
An automobile bumper is typically based on an impact bar design. Bumpers reduce damage to the car and its occupants by limiting the explosive effects of a collision. The bar has an internal rectangular cutout area designed to distribute the impact load throughout the beam. This makes it easier to carry heavy loads during accidents.
Impact bars come in many types of material. The most commonly used are rubber, metal or hardened urethane. The type of material determines the weight and distributed load the bar can withstand. A striker bar made from hardened urethane is considered one of the most durable because it is more resistant to wear.
Conveyor belts use impact bars under the surface of the belt. This impact bar design helps distribute the load of packages and heavy material being rolled over the conveyor belt area. These are used in assembly lines, parcel post plants and with people transport systems in large buildings or airports.
Most airports have baggage belts that carry heavy bags from planes to baggage claim areas. These belts have impact bars under the belt area to help support the baggage load. Using this type of design is cost effective because it can carry large loads with less material.
The impact bar comes in many lengths and sizes. These bars are rectangular in shape and include a small area cut out in the center of the material, also in the shape of a rectangle. This design makes the material stronger and lighter than solid metal because the rectangle causes the load to be distributed across the surface.
