7-Rib Bumper for Stearns Maxi I Legacy Carousels
Categories: Industry News | News | Technical Tips
Unified Supply provides 7-Rib Bumper for the Stearns Maxi I legacy systems. Â The bumper is a key component in maintaining the safety of the traveling public as well as baggage handling workers.
The Stearns Maxi I is one of the most innovative slope plate carousel designs ever, allowing for layouts beyond simple ovals. Â This is because the Maxi I is capable of bi-directional turning, which allows for carousel layouts such as kidney shape utilizing both left-hand and right-hand turns.
The 7-Rib Bumper, also known as a Shock Absorber, is flexible enough to support the bi-directional turning capability of the Stearns Maxi I. Â The primary components of the 7-Rib Assembly are the bumper itself, as well as clips and wear strips. Â The clips serve as locks to keep the UHMW wear strips in place during high-vibration use. Â In the photos shown, the bumper is a black rubber material, while the UHMW wear strips are white and the locking clips are silver in color.
