PINNER APPLICATORS

5200647 Rev G

You can install the Pinner applicator to the mounting surface using the perforated 

strip supplied (see Figure 1) or using the mounting plate assembly (P/N 4105581, 

see Figure 2). 

NOTE

 – The mounting clamps for the 5-Point and the Pinner Claw must 

be at least 2” apart.  Closer installation may cause warping of the Pinner 

handle at temperatures exceeding 150°F.

The two mounting clamps for the Linear Pinner can be installed side by side
Make sure the threaded end of each screw is flush with the inside surface of the clamp 

to maintain the installation distance (air space) to the Pinner shaft.  Screws provided 

are the proper length for mounting the clamps to the assembly (1/4 - 20PHM, 5/8” 

long). Use screws supplied with flex arm mounting stand when using this option.

Installation with Optional Mounting Stand (P/N 5051082)

The optional mounting stand includes a flexible adjustable arm and a magnetic base. 

It is designed for use in areas where flexibility, easy adjustment, or easy installation 

and removal is required, such as chill roll edge pinning on cast film lines.
Refer to publication 5101223 (attached with optional mounting stand kit) and 

Figure 4 for additional assembly details.

1.  Remove two cap screws with 3/16” hex key and magnet from base of mounting 

stand.

2.  Remove cable strain relief from base of mounting stand.
3.  Insert pinner applicator (Linear Pinner, Pinner 5-Point or Pinner Claw) by fully 

straightening the flexible arm and routing the cable assembly through its center 

and cable strain relief.

4.  Insert pinner applicator handle fully into the mounting barrel and tighten the 

setscrew.

5.  Bend the flexible arm into a tight U-shape and screw the cable strain relief into 

the base of mounting stand.

6.  Tighten the strain relief nut to securely clamp the cable assembly in place.
7.  Re-install the magnet on to the base of mounting stand.
8.  Position the pinner applicator by attaching the magnetic base of the mounting 

stand in a suitable location.

9.  Adjust the flexible arm of the mounting stand to direct the pinner applicator 

towards the targeted object.

High Voltage Wire Routing

To avoid accidental shock, route the high voltage wire to the power supply in a 

manner which avoids access or contact by personnel.  Do not route through areas 

where moving machinery is operating.  Secure the wire with TW wraps or cable 

clamps to assure proper and permanent positioning.
