Introduction
Pivot pins are a short shaft or pin that supports
something that turns. Pivot pins are installed in
numerous positions on the machine. There is usually
a greasing point associated with the pivot pin. Make
sure the pivot points are greased at regular intervals.
Refer to the Machine Maintenance Schedules.
Slide Hammer Kit
The slide hammer kit is used to remove pivot pins that
must be extracted, i.e. cannot be 'knocked through'.
The purpose of this description is to explain how the
kit and the various components are used to remove
the pivot pins.
The adaptors that form part of the kit have a screwed
thread at each end. One of the threads will always
be M20 size, this is to accommodate the end stops.
The other end of the adaptor will have varying thread
sizes to suit the different size of threads in the pivot
pins.
