Oil-Buffer Safety)
Type C Safeties may be used subject to the
following requirements:
1. The rated speed shall be not more than five
hundred (500) feet per minute.
2. The oil buffers shall conform to all requirements specified in Section 201 for oil buffers, except
that the stroke shall be based on governor tripping
speed and on an average retardation not exceeding 32.2
feet per second per second.
3. After the buffer stroke, as defined in Subdivision 2, has been completed, provision shall be made
for an additional travel of the plunger or piston of
not less than ten (10) per cent of the buffer stroke
to prevent excessive impact on the buffer parts and
the auxiliary safety plank.
4. Where the distance between guide rails
exceeds eight (8) feet, the safety shall be provided
with two (2) oil buffers of substantially identical
calibration; and the buffers shall be so located as
to develop minimum stresses in the auxiliary safety
plank during safety operation.
Buffers shall be located in line with and symmetrically between the guide rails.
