HAMMER STRENGTH MTS OWNER’S MANUAL 2. Specifications
4. Weight Plates
• Shall be machined from solid, 1” thick steel, which will never break. The result shall be a smooth,
consistent finish which is very hard, assuring to be scratch and chip resistant.
5. Weight Plate Bushings
• Each plate (not just the top weight) will contain low friction bushings, which surround the guide
rods to minimize friction and noise by eliminating any metal to metal contact.
6. Top Weight Bushings
• The top weight bushings shall float within the top weight utilizing rubber o-rings to assure ideal
alignment with the guide rods.
• The bushings shall be self-lubricating in order that the guide rods will not require lubrication
thereby eliminating a time consuming and dirty maintenance task.
7. Weight Stack Guide Rods
• Shall be 3/4” cold-drawn steel, turned ground and polished with hard chrome finish.
8. Weight Stack Suspension
• Shall have durable rubber bumpers under each stack to reduce shock and vibration stresses to
the frame and facility floor.
9. Weight Selection Shafts
• Shall be constructed of stainless steel and precision drilled for accurate pin selection.
10. Weight Transport
• Shall be a .985” Mectrol belt, with breaking strength rated at over 4000 pounds.
11. Belt Adjustment
• All belts can be adjusted at the top weight . This system is consistent machine to machine,
convenient, and easy to understand.
• Two 3/8 “ bolts at the stack and at the user arm retain each belt.
• A
3/8 “ socket head ratchet is used for simple adjustment where the belt attaches to the user
arm.
12. Weight Stack Guards
• All weight stacks shall be completely guarded, front and back, except for a 30mm gap for weight
selection. This is to prevent bystanders from inadvertent contact with the weight stack during
use.
13. Pulleys
• Shall be glass impregnated nylon with a 7º crown designed to maintain the belt in the center of
pulley during the full range of operation.
• Pulleys shall contain no edge flanges, which would cause accelerated belt wear.
14. Pulley Coverings
• As a safety precaution, all pulleys shall be covered on each side to minimize the danger of a
moving pulley catching a person’s finger or clothes.
15. Counter Balanced Input Arms
• Input arms on equipment shall be counter balanced where appropriate to eliminate the weight of
the assembly from the weight selected by the user.
