Where does the mechanical ram assembly (MRA) get its power from?

The mechanical ram assembly (MRA) derives its power from two hydraulic service lines, which is essential for enabling the precise and powerful movement necessary for munitions handling and systems operations. Hydraulic systems utilize incompressible fluid to transmit force, making them highly effective for applications that require significant mechanical force in a compact format. This capability allows the MRA to perform tasks such as lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy payloads with efficiency and accuracy.

In comparison, electrical circuits primarily supply power to control systems or ancillary equipment rather than directly driving mechanical components like the MRA. Manual hand controls might enable operators to manipulate systems, but they do not provide the required power for the MRA's operation. Air pressure systems can also be used in various applications but are not the source of power for this particular assembly, as it specifically relies on hydraulic forces.
