They have a .750 (19.1mm) setting stroke and rated pull load of 10,000 lbs. (44.5 kN). The GB512BOM (electric actuated) installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by the GB940 Powerunit set at 5,400 psi. (372 bar) - 5,600 psi. (386 bar) maximum PULL pressure and 2,200 psi (152 bar) - 2,400 psi (166 bar) maximum RETURN pressure. The tool comes equipped with 12’...

When the tool is connected to a powerunit, operation is controlled by a actuator to the hydraulic hoses. The GB512ABOM incorporates an air actuator to send a signal; the GB512BOM an electric actuator. When the button is depressed, a directional valve in the powerunit directs oil to the front side of the piston forcing it and the nose assembly collet rearward.
1. Set hydraulic power unit to the recommended pressure, 5,400 psi. (372 bar) - 5,600 psi. (386 bar) Max. for the pull and 2,200 (152 bar) - 2,400 psi (166 bar) Max. for the return. Gage Bilt pressure gage assembly (942280) (Sold Separately) is recommended to aid in this procedure.
Do not operate when recommended pressures are exceeded as it could cause severe personal injury and or damage the equipment. WARNING: Use only Gage Bilt hydraulic hoses and couplings, or equivalent, rated for 10,000 psi. (689.5 bar) working pressure. WARNING: Do not operate this tool without deflector, pintail catcher bag or pintail collection bottle in place.
WARNING: Tool must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times and examined on a daily basis for damage or wear. Any repair should be done by qualified personnel trained on Gage Bilt procedures. WARNING: Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
