10 cm - K17 L/45 Krupp

Le Kanone 17 de 10 cm (K 17 cm) était un canon de campagne utilisé par l'Allemagne au cours des Première et Deuxième Guerres mondiales.

La portée du K 14 de 10 cm était jugée insuffisante au combat et Krupp conçut un nouveau canon plus long (L / 45) monté sur la voiture du K 14. Cela rendait le pistolet trop lourd pour être transporté en tant que charge unique; le tonneau a dû être enlevé et rangé dans son propre wagon de transport. Les rampes visibles sur la photo (voir à droite) servaient à guider le wagon de transport de tonneaux en position afin de l'aligner sur le système de recul afin de lui permettre d'être treuillé dans une batterie. Ils sont fixés sur cet exemple, mais étaient généralement amovibles.

Le K 17 utilisait un système de rappel hydro-pneumatique ou hydro-ressorts, vraisemblablement selon le fabricant.

10 cm - K17 L/45 Krupp

"The 10 cm Kanone 17 (10 cm K 17) was a field gun used by Germany in World War I and World War II.

The range of the 10 cm K 14 was deemed insufficient in combat and Krupp designed a new, longer (L/45) barrel that was mounted on the K 14's carriage. This made the gun too heavy to be transported as a single load; the barrel had to be removed and stowed on its own transport wagon. The ramps visible in the picture (see right), served to guide the barrel transport wagon into position to align the barrel with the recoil system to allow it to be winched into battery. They are fixed in place on this example, but were generally removable.

The K 17 used either a hydro-pneumatic or hydro spring recoil system, presumably depending on manufacturer."
