Functional characteristics

Principle
The Wacker Neuson vibratory rammer essentially consists of the drive motor, ramming system, ramming
shoe and control handle.
The drive occurs via a gasoline engine. This gasoline engine works according to the two-stroke principle
and is mechanically started via a starter rope on the recoil starter.
The rotational movement of the drive motor is converted into a lifting movement via a centrifugal clutch,
a single-level beveled gear transmission and a crank gear mechanism. The lifting movement is
transferred to the ramming system via a connecting rod.
The vibratory rammer receives its travel speed from the tilt of the ramming shoe.
The control handle is decoupled from the ramming system by rubber elements (inserts). This reduces
the transmission of vibrations to the operator.
