Klopp shaper rocker gear - this was formed as a single unit integral with the main bearing of the machine (the column bush)
Speed-change gearbox models 625, 725 and 850. On all the larger machines, a high-pressure pump delivered oil not only to the gearbox but also the rocker gear,, rocker arm and slideways
Underside of the ram from one of the larger Klopp shapers - light to reduce the effect of its mass at higher stroke rates yet at the same time well braced for strength by internal ribbing
Rocker arm: the unit used to convert rotary motion into the rectilinear alternating movement necessary to drive the ram
