Spring rod  for Major sander

The spring rod on the Major sander frame is a mechanical component that incorporates a spring to help absorb vibrations and shocks when the sander is in use. Its main role is to contribute to user comfort by reducing vibrations transmitted to the hand and arm during sanding. Here's how it works and when it may be necessary to change this part:

Spring rod operation :

1. Vibration absorption: The spring rod is designed to absorb and attenuate vibrations generated by the operation of the sander. This reduces user fatigue and makes the sander more comfortable to use.

2. Shock reduction: By absorbing shocks and jolts, the spring rod helps prevent potential damage to the sander's internal components.

Spring rod wear points:

1. Wear and tear due to use: The spring rod may undergo normal wear and tear over time due to constant vibration and movement during use of the sander.

2. Physical damage: Shocks, impacts or excessive stress can damage the spring rod, causing scratches, cracks or deformation.

3. Ageing: Depending on the materials of construction and frequency of use, the spring rod may age and lose its ability to absorb vibrations effectively.

When is it necessary to change the part?

When it's time to replace the spring rod depends on the severity of the wear, damage or wear.

damage or loss of efficiency. Here are a few indications that suggest it's time to replace this part:

1. Reduced vibration absorption efficiency: If the spring rod is no longer able to absorb vibrations generated during sanding, resulting in a noticeable increase in vibrations transmitted to the user, it's time to change it.

2. Abnormal noises: Squeaking or rattling noises coming from the spring rod may indicate a problem.

3. Visible damage: If you observe cracks, deformation or other visible damage to the spring rod, we recommend replacing it.

4. Loss of comfort: If the sander becomes uncomfortable to use due to excessive vibration, this may indicate a problem with the spring rod.

5. Safety hazard: If the spring rod is damaged in such a way as to create a potential safety hazard for the user, it must be replaced immediately.

Replacing the spring rod is usually a relatively simple operation and can often be carried out by the user himself. Be sure to follow the Repex Floor manufacturer's specific recommendations for your Major sander when servicing and replacing parts, and be sure to follow all safety procedures when servicing or replacing components on your sander.
