Mounting Swivels
Swivels can be mounted to the piston rod and the pedestal base. A Series 249
Swivel can be used with the Series 242 Actuator. See the Series 249 Swivel
Product Information manual for additional information.
The swivel is mounted with four M10 x 1.50 (3/8-16) socket head bolts. Before
mounting the swivel, apply Molykote G grease, or equivalent, to the threads and
under the head of each mounting bolt. Tighten each bolt until it is firmly seated
against the swivel. Then, using the pattern shown in the figure to the right,
tighten the bolts to one-half of the recommended torque value. Continue using
this pattern to tighten the bolts to 53 N·m (34 lbf·ft)
