Don't be shiftless!

The Vulcan Vari-Cycle II offers all the advantages and ease of use of the original Vari-Cycle with fewer parts and less maintenance. When maintenance is required, it will be easier and less expensive. The Vari-Cycle II uses the same principle as the original Vari-Cycle, except the trip shifting cylinder is built into the Open Steam Chest Head Bracket thus reducing the number of parts. Air is supplied to the movable trip piston to move the trip into either the long stroke or short stroke position. A detent holds the trip in position when the air supply is removed.

The VC-II is currently available for the 306, 505, 506, 508, 510 & 512 Vulcan Hammers. Other sizes will be available upon request. More information on Vari-Cycle II can be found at Vulcan Tip 72.
