Ithangi lempi elikhulu Pz61 (Panzer 61) Ngo-1958, kwasungulwa i-prototype yokuqala ye-Pz58 enesibhamu esingu-83,8 mm. Ngemva kokucwengisiswa kanye nokusetshenziswa kabusha ngenganono engu-105 mm, ithangi laqala ukusebenza ekuqaleni kuka-1961 ngaphansi kwegama elithi Pz61 (Panzer 1961). Isici sesici somshini kwakuyi-hull eyisiqephu esisodwa kanye ne-turret. I-Pz61 inesakhiwo sakudala. Ngaphambi kwecala kune-control compartment, umshayeli utholakala kuyo phakathi nendawo. Embhoshongweni ongakwesokudla kwesibhamu kukhona izindawo zomlawuli kanye nesibhamu, ngakwesobunxele - umlayishi. Umkhuzi kanye nesilayishi banama-turrets anamachamusela. Phakathi kwamathangi ohlobo olufanayo, i-Pz61 inomzimba omncane kakhulu. Ithangi lihlome ngesibhamu esakhiwe ngesiNgisi esingu-105 mm L7A1, esikhiqizwe eSwitzerland ngaphansi kwelayisense ngaphansi kwegama elithi Pz61 futhi sinesilinganiso somlilo esingu-9 rds / min. Umthwalo wezinhlamvu uhlanganisa isibhamu esisodwa esinezinga elincane lokubhoboza izikhali, ukubhoboza izikhali eziqhuma phezulu, okunqwabelanayo, ukuhlukana okunqwabelanayo kanye neziqhumane zentuthu. Kwesobunxele sesibhamu esikhulu, isibhamu esizenzakalelayo esingu-20-mm se-Oerlikon H35-880 esinezinhlamvu ezingu-240 ekuqaleni sasifakwe. Yayihloselwe ukugoqa izithagethi ezihlome ngezikhali kancane kububanzi obuphakathi nobufushane. Kamuva, kwashintshwa isibhamu somshini we-coaxial esingu-7,5 mm. Umbhoshongo unemishini yokuzungeza i-electro-hydraulic kanye ne-manual, ingasethwa ukunyakaza ngumlawuli noma isibhamu. Asikho isizinzisi sezikhali. Ngaphezulu kwe-hatch yesilayishi ku-turret, isibhamu somshini esingu-7,5-mm MO-51 esinezinhlamvu ezingu-3200 sifakwe njengesibhamu esilwa nendiza. Uhlelo lokulawula ithangi luhlanganisa i-lead angle calculator kanye ne-automatic horizon indicator. Umdubuli une-WILD periscope sight. Umkhuzi usebenzisa i-optical rangefinder. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhulokhi okubuka ayisishiyagalombili afakiwe azungeza umjikelezo we-cupola yomphathi, ayisithupha angama-cupolas okulayisha, kanti amanye amathathu asohlangothini lomshayeli. Izikhali zohlaka olulodwa kanye ne-turret zihlukaniswa ngokuqina nama-engeli okuthambekela. Ubukhulu obukhulu bezikhali ze-hull buyi-60 mm, i-turret ingu-120 mm. Ishidi elingaphezulu elingaphambili linendawo ephakeme esihlalweni somshayeli. Kukhona i-hatch ephuthumayo ezansi kwesikebhe. Ukuvikelwa okwengeziwe kwezinhlangothi amabhokisi anezingxenye ezisele kanye nezinsiza kuma-fenders. Umbhoshongo uphonswe, umumo we-hemispherical nezinhlangothi ezigoqe kancane. Iziqhumane ezimbili zamabhomu ezingu-80,5-mm ezinemigqomo emithathu zifakwe ezinhlangothini zombhoshongo ukuze kumiswe izikrini zentuthu. Engxenyeni engemuva, injini yedizili epholile engu-8-cylinder V yaseJalimane engu-MB-837 Ba-500 evela ku-MTV ifakwe, ithuthukisa amandla angu-630 amalitha. nge. ngo-2200 rpm. I-5LM automatic transmission eyenziwe eSwitzerland ihlanganisa i-multiplate main clutch, u-gearbox nomshini wokuqondisa. Idonsa ngamagiya angu-6 aya phambili namagiya angu-2 abuyela emuva. I-swing drive isebenzisa ukudluliselwa kwe-hydrostatic. Umshini ulawulwa kusukela esondweni lokuqondisa. I-undercarriage ihlanganisa ama-roller enjoloba ayisithupha kanye nama-carrier roller amathathu ohlangothini ngalunye. Ukumiswa kwethangi kungumuntu ngamunye, kusetshenziswa iziphethu zaseBelleville, kwesinye isikhathi ezibizwa nge-Belleville springs. Ithrekhi engenawo amaphedi e-asphalt erabha iqukethe amathrekhi angu-83, ububanzi obungu-500 mm. I-Pz61 ifakwe isiteshi somsakazo esinama-antenna amabili embhoshongweni, i-TPU. Ucingo lunamathiselwe ngemuva kwesikebhe ukuze kuxhunyanwe nebutho elihamba ngezinyawo elixhumanayo. Kukhona i-heater compartment compartment, ithangi lamanzi okuphuza. Ukukhiqizwa kwamathangi kwenziwa embonini yombuso eThun. Sekukonke, kusukela ngoJanuwari 1965 kuya ku-December 1966, kwakhiqizwa izimoto ezingu-150 Pz61, ezisasebenza nebutho laseSwitzerland. Amanye amathangi e-Pz61 athuthukiswa kamuva, imodeli ye-Pz61 AA9 yahlukaniswa nokuthi esikhundleni se-cannon engu-20 mm, isibhamu somshini esingu-7,5-mm safakwa kuso. Izici zokusebenza kwethangi lempi elikhulu Pz61 Isisindo sokulwa, т 38 Abasebenzi, abantu 4 Ubukhulu, мм: ubude ngesibhamu phambili 9430 ububanzi 3080 ukuphakama 2720 imvume 420 Izikhali, мм ingquza ebunzini 60 umbhoshongo ebunzini 120 Izikhali:   105 mm isibhamu isibhamu Pz 61; 20 mm inganono “Oerlikon” H55-880, 7,5 mm isibhamu somshini MS-51 Isethi ye-Boek:   Imijikelezo engama-240 yezinga le-20-mm, imizuliswano engama-3200 Injini I-MTV MV 837 VA-500, 8-cylinder, four-stroke, V-shaped, diesel, liquid-cooled, amandla angu-630 hp. nge. ngo-2200 rpm Ingcindezi yomhlabathi ethize, kg / cmXNUMX 0,86 Ijubane lomgwaqo omkhulu km / h 55 Ukuhamba ngomkhumbi emgwaqeni omkhulu Km 300 Ukunqoba izithiyo: ukuphakama kodonga, м 0,75 ububanzi bomgodi, м 2,60 ukujula komkhumbi, м 1,10 Imithombo: G.L.
