Construction and Operation

The friction snubber is comprised of a barrel containing three segmented professional shoes faced with specially formulated long-wearing, molded professional brake ■ ning material, attached by a special banding process. The constant pressure of a pre-com pressed coil spring forces the shoes outward against the barrel. Uniform friction resistance is provided during operation through a combination of moteriol and finish in the lining and barrel. Mountings ore designed to provide "universal joint" action to accommodate any change in the angularity of the snubber caused by relative movement; bel-.veei the mounting members.
