How to get maximum performance with Swagebolt pins and collars:
- Swagebolt pins and collars are lubricated to provide proper driving characteristics and should not be degreased.
- Installation surfaces should be 90° to the Swagebolt pin axis for normal conditions and spot face for other conditions.
- Collars may be driven on surfaces inclined to a maximum of 1 in 20 from the Swagebolt pin axis.
- Collars may be driven on curved surfaces with a minimum radius of 3 times the Swagebolt pin diameter.
- Collars should be removed from the application by splitting them axially with a collar splitter.
- In the case of replacement – if the hole sizing is not worn or oversized, a Swagebolt pin of the same diameter must be used. If the hole sizing is worn or oversized, a larger diameter Swagebolt pin should be used.
Considerations for selecting your Swagefast™ Fastening System:
- The material of the fastener or its coating should be compatible with the application’s material.
- The fastener diameter is determined by the shear and tensile strength required.
- The fastener length is determined by the total material thickness that requires fastening. Order by diameter required and the total material thickness that requires fastening.
- It is recommended that a standard (CS) collar is used where the holes on the application do not exceed the maximum hole sizing specifications.
- It is recommended that a flanged (CF) collar is used where the holes on the application are worn or sizing exceeds the maximum hole sizing specifications.
- Fastener head styles are determined by clearance requirements.
