Measurement Method:
Measure at pad pivot pins
4-Point Force Distribution Tester Method
The following procedure is performed on attachments with
standard (shimmed) design for contact pad and stabilizer.
This procedure can be performed with the attachment
mounted on the truck. Contact pad camber can be
determined using the measurement method or using the
Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester method.
1
Extend the arms to frame width. Lower the contact
pads to just above the floor.
2
Measurement Method
–
Measure the distance
between the pads in two places: at the bottom of
the pad in-line with the pivot pins and 29 in. (73 cm)
directly above, as shown. The difference between the
two measurements is the pad camber.
4-Point Force Distribution Tester Method –
Perform
the following steps:
A
Position the tester between the contact pads with
the spindles perpendicular to the contact pad
surfaces. Align the spindles with the contact pad
capscrews at 4 in. (100 mm) above and below the
stabilizer top and bottom edges, as shown.
B
Clamp on the tester and hold activated for 5
seconds.
C
Note the clamp force percentage of each
spindle. Add the upper percentages together.
Add the lower percentages together. The
difference between the two percentages is the
pad camber.
3
Determine the camber required for the product being
handled. Refer to the Pad Camber Chart, below.
