Abstract
A motion control system includes an absorber fixed relative to an axis, a spring fixed relative to the axis, and a mass coupled to the absorber and the spring and configured to move relative to the axis. The spring is configured to bias the mass toward a neutral position and with the absorber configured to dampen movement of the mass. The mass includes an internal surface and an external surface spaced from the internal surface. The external surface extends between a first end and a second end, with the first end closer to the axis than the second end. At least a portion of the external surface tapers away from the axis and toward the internal surface further from the first end to direct debris away from the axis.
