.500” (12.7mm) fastener setting stroke and a rated pull load of 5,825 lbs. (25.9 kN). The GB206-500/25 (electric actuated) installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by the GB947 Powerunit set at 5,700 psi. (393.0 bar) maximum PULL pressure and 2,400 psi (165.5 bar) maximum RETURN pressure. The tool comes equipped with a 25 foot (7.62 m) hydraulic hose with quick disconnects and a electric control cord assembly .
6. Forcible ejection of the mandrel from the front of the nose assembly is possible. your employer and consult a physician. 4. Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can then be used to support the tool. GB206-500/25 / GB206-500/25A INSTALLATION TOOL 11/17 REV 4/23...
When the tool is connected to a powerunit, operation is controlled by an actuator or switch attached to the hydraulic hoses. The GB206-500/25A incorporates an air actuator to send a signal; the GB206-500/25 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, 5,700 psi (393.0 bar) Max. for the pull and 2,400 psi (165.5 bar) Max. for the return. Gage Bilt pressure gage assembly (942280) (Sold Separately) is recommended to aid in this procedure. “See hydraulic power unit manual for correct procedure when adjusting pressures”.
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. (689.48 bar) working pressure. CAUTION: Do not use beyond the design intent.
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.
