TAMP SHOCK ABSORBERS
Figure19ShockAbsorber
Shock absorbers are used to cushion the impact of the swing tamp at the end of travel (full extension), and
also at the end of travel for the retracted tamp assembly.
The shock absorbers are locked in position by one inch j am nuts. The shock absorber body has flats for
an 11/16 inch open end wrench.
The barrel of the shock absorber is designed to be used as a mechanical stop. The barrels of the shock
absorbers act as the travel limit for the retracted tamp assembly, and for the extended swing tamp.
The cushioning setting is set by a lockable rotating dial at the end of the shock absorber. The dial setting
is locked in place by a set screw using a 1/16 inch hex head wrench. See Figure 19.
The following procedure should only be performed by a Qualified Service
Technician
