The hydraulic actuator allows for soft closure, without slamming the switch points into the stock rail. This feature reduces vibration and the associated loosening of switch components.
The base of the unit is a rigid weldment housing modular components. There is a heavy gauge cover that can be opened for service by authorized personnel, and a lockable safety switch can disconnect power from the motor for servicing.
HT stands for Hand Throw, since the manual fallback mechanism is a robust mechanical hand throw lever. This means that if problems develop with communications or power systems, or even if the hydraulic actuator, hoses or motor are completely removed from the machine, the RACOR® AUTOMATER® HT can still be operated in manual mode in the same way as a traditional dual control switch machine. Setting the selector lever from POWER mode to HAND mode mechanically disengages the power drive from switch points, giving the operator control of the points through movement of the hand throw lever.
This allows for trouble free manual operation of the switch in a manner familiar to train crews and consistent with existing operating instructions, and avoids the requirement for maintenance forces to be called out on overtime for repairs.
The RACOR® AUTOMATER® HT will provide many years of trouble free service under the most severe operating conditions.
