F.89570 F.89574 0.340 66 4.625 ø 7.00 93,900 ø Bump figure from arrangement drawings is 4.25" and rebound is controlled to 6.00", so that stress range is for a range of movement of 10.250" in this case. In other cases stress range is for the movement range of the sum of the bump and static deflection figures. -------------------- | ||
