Description

This ram stop is a small control component used in the ram assembly of trash compactors. It limits ram travel so the compactor stops at the correct position and the drawer opens smoothly after each cycle.

• Limits the upward travel of the ram to a fixed stop point
• Helps the ram return fully to the up position at the end of the cycle
• Reduces binding and prevents over-travel that can strain components
• Typical symptoms include a drawer that won't open or is hard to open, or a ram that doesn't return to the top

What's included: Includes 1 ram stop.

• Disconnect power to the compactor before servicing
• Remove the drawer/bin for access and support the ram
• Remove the damaged stop and install the replacement, ensuring it is fully seated and correctly oriented
• Run an empty test cycle to confirm the ram stops at the proper height
