Selecting a Compensator

3.	Determine the required load capacity:

Observe the following guidelines:

• The tension load capacity for a vertical application is the weight of the tool and part.
  
  
• Use HCL-13 shear pads for high-impact loads.
  
  
• Use a lock-up device to reduce high inertia loads due to acceleration.
  
  
• A high compression load capacity will be needed for tight tolerance applications (e.g.: press fit).
  
  
• When needed, use six shear pads to double the load capacity (200 and 400 Series only).
