Additional Information
Product Description
The Shaft Weldment (662-1200A) is a replacement component for Rainhart laboratory soil compactors. Designed to work with the compactor's lifting and release mechanism, this shaft provides the contact surface for the grabber jaws that raise and release the compaction assembly during testing.
Maintaining the shaft and associated grabber components helps support reliable mechanical operation, consistent compaction cycles, and reduced equipment downtime. This replacement part is ideal for laboratories maintaining or servicing their existing soil compaction equipment.
Key Features
- Intended for use in compatible soil compaction equipment used for laboratory moisture-density testing in accordance with ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T 99, and AASHTO T 180, subject to the configuration of the complete compactor.
- Provides a replacement for the shaft component identified as 662-1200A in Rainhart soil compactor documentation.
- Designed to interface with the compactor's mechanical grabber jaws during lifting and release operations.
- Supports servicing and maintenance of existing soil compactors without requiring replacement of the complete machine.
- Helps maintain reliable mechanical operation and consistent compaction cycles when installed and adjusted correctly.
- Suitable for maintenance programs in geotechnical, construction materials, and soil testing laboratories.
Included Items
The Shaft Weldment includes one replacement shaft assembly, Part Number 662-1200A. Additional grabber components, hardware, and installation accessories are not confirmed as included.
Lab Manager's Tip
Inspect the shaft and grabber jaws periodically for excessive wear, scoring, or irregular engagement. The grabber jaws must engage and release the shaft properly for reliable compactor operation.
When maintaining equipment used for ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T 99, or AASHTO T 180 testing, verify that the complete compactor continues to meet the applicable hammer mass, drop height, and other operational requirements after servicing.
