More Information
Summary:A can bodymaker ram assembly (12) is provided. The ram assembly (12) includes an elongated, generally hollow ram body (50) and a tension assembly (140). The ram body (50) includes a proximal end (52), a medial portion (59), and a distal end (54). The tension assembly (140) includes an elongated support member (142). The tension assembly support member (142) includes a proximal end (150) and a distal end (152). The tension assembly support member (142) is substantially disposed within the ram body (50) with the tension assembly support member proximal end (150) coupled to the ram body proximal end (52), and the tension assembly support member distal end (152) coupled to one of the ram body medial portion (59) or the ram body distal end (54).
