Technical Data
Recommended Air Pressure…………………………………………….….85 to 100 PSI
Air Consumption Per Cycle………………………………………………...530 Cu. In.
Max. Axial Pulling Load………………………………………………….....5,200 Lbs
Weight…………………………………………………………………......…5.6 Lbs.

The air supplied to the AE 40 Tool should be dry and free of contamination, to prevent premature wear and tear of the internal components. We suggest use of a filter, pressure regulator and oiler system, located in close proximity to the tool.
 
Operating Instructions

AE 40 Installation Tool With the tool disconnected from the air line, adjust the pull-up stud extension from the anvil face by loosening the anvil lock-nut. Thread a rivet nut onto the pull-up stud…and allow approximately one (1) thread of the pull-up stud to extend beyond the end of the insert. (When setting up on a closed end part, bottom the pull-up stud in the fastener and back off one turn). Snug the anvil face against the head of the fastener and tighten the anvil lock-nut to maintain this setting. Unthread the insert from the pull-up stud.

Now, connect the air line to the tool. When you hold the rivet nut threads against the pull-up stud, it will automatically thread into the insert until the fastener head seats securely against the anvil face.

Make sure that the stroke adjustment ring is set to provide minimum pull-up. Actuate position 2 of the trigger (Fig. 1) and observe the pull-up stroke of the tool. Notice that the pull-up stud is pulled into the front housing of the tool, with no rotation of the stud.

The tool will stall when it meets the pre-adjusted internal stop. Actuation of position 1 of the trigger (Fig. 1), provides reverse rotation of the stud, and disengages the stud from the installed fastener. Now you are ready to set the stroke of the tool. You must provide the proper pull-up of the fastener, to ensure proper installations.

Use the special spanner wrench that is proved, to engage the holes in the stroke adjusting ring (Fig. 1, G). Turning the ring in a counter clockwise direction increases the stroke. Turning the ring in a clockwise direction reduces the stroke. To determine the amount of pull-up required, ensure the overall length of the fastener, as shown in (Fig. 4). Refer to the pull-up factor chart (Fig. 5) and select the thread size of the fastener to be installed.

Each fastener is designed to perform in a specific grip range.

  1. Determine the recommended maximum grip of the fastener (refer to the fastener brochure, or see the data provided on the fastener box).
  2. Measure the material thickness in which you will be installing the fastener.
  3. Subtract the measured thickness from the published max. grip of your fastener.
  4. Add the difference calculated in Step 3, to the applicable pull-up factor in the chart.
  5. Use the fastener whose over-all length you have measured, and run it through a tool cycle. Then measure the over-all length after you have pulled it.
  6. Compare the results with the calculated shortening req'd, as determined in step 4 above.

    To increase pull-up with the AE 40 Tool, turn the stroke adjustment ring counter clockwise. To decrease the pull-up, turn the stroke adjustment ring clockwise. Slight differences of (+.005) may not require further adjustments.

    Install several fasteners in sample material, the same as the grip you will be using, to ensure that all settings are adequate.

To Change Tool Thread Sizes

 

Loosen the anvil lock-nut, and remove the anvil from the nosepiece (Fig. 6).

As shown in Fig. 7, use the pin supplied with the tool and engage the roll pin through the pin insertion hole. Apply a light backpressure on the pin to disengage the hex driver from the pull-stud…unscrew the pull-up stud and remove it.

Select the pull-up stud thread size that you need, and thread it into the pull-up stud connector. Pull back on the pin to pull the hex driver out of the way…thread the stud into connector until you feel it touching the hex driver.

Rotate the stud and driver slightly, to align the hex socket with the driver, and let the hex driver snap into place, by slowly releasing the backpressure on the pin.

Install the proper anvil and the anvil lock-nut, and you are ready to proceed.
