Definition of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MTR40F Tamping Rammer is a powerful compacting

tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive

impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include soil compacting

for backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable

installation work.

The impact force of the MTR40F levels and uniformly compacts

voids between soil particles to increase dry density.

Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MTR40F

tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting force at the

foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum performance, proper

operation and service are essential.

Construction of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MTR40F is equipped with a Robin air-cooled, four-

cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of power takes place by

increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.

Rammer Spring Cylinder and Crankcase Bearings

The Mikasa MTR40F uses zerk grease fittings to lubricate the

spring cylinder and crankcase bearings. Lubricate these grease

fittings as indicated in the maintenance section of this manual.
