MAXIMUM ACTUATING DIMENSIONS
Rods with 4 maintained positions
• Pre-travel angle for rotation contact operation: 49°
• Maximum rotation angle for each maintained position: 90°
• Average angle for the mechanical tripping: 48°
• Maintained positions every: 90°
In order to ensure proper operations, the dimensions shall not be increased; anyhow, they can be decreased, taking into account
that the closer the impact point is to the center of the head, the higher the impact and the mechanical wear of rod and shaft are.
IMPORTANT: the maximum impact speed is 1.35 m/s, refering to the ideal impact points shown in the drawing.
