Tensioning Bow (Clamping Bracket)

Two hydraulic cylinders are positioned on the left and right sides of the tensioning bow, on the top frame linkage for raising and lowering the bow. An angle hall sensor is installed on the left tensioning bow linkage to detect the positioning of the bow. The hydraulic lines for the right side tensioning bow cylinder are routed under the top fabric along the tensioning bow.
