VII. TRAVELING CAPSTANS

The

GO-E2

Opener has the ability to open hopper car slide gates with traveling

capstans. The Driveshaft will extend and compress as the slide gate capstan moves
along its length or travel. The Driveshaft's double yoke ensures that the drive fitting will

maintain constant contact with the capstan. See

Figure 3

for traveling capstan

depiction.
