General Machine Products 5/8" Break-Away Swivel - Manual

5/8 in. Break-Away Swivel
Disassembly Procedure
The following disassembly operation will deal with
small parts. Disassembly and re-assembly should be
done in an area where parts will not be lost if acci-
dentally dropped.
1. Retrieve both halves of the broken swivel.
2. Loosen the #6-32 x 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) set screw
located in the swivel body with the 1/16 in. (1.59
mm) Allen wrench provided and back it off 2-3
turns.
3. Unscrew and remove the remnant stud of the bro-
ken tension bolt.
4. Unscrew the stationary body where it joins the
housing and remove the head of the broken ten-
sion bolt and the four bearings.
5. Place the four bearings on a new tension bolt of
the desired tension value.
6. Place the new tension bolt with bearings through
the housing and screw the bolt into the swivel
body.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten the tension bolt,
because premature fracture may occur. Tighten the
bolt lightly until it bottoms (don't use excessive force).
Do not apply torque to the head of the ten-
sion bolt as over-stressing the bolt may
cause a lower breaking point.
7. Re-tighten the set screw into the side of the swiv-
el body.
8. Screw the stationary body and housing together
and tighten.
