Swagelok Company (Solon, OH, USA) has introduced its air-actuated hydraulic swaging unit (AHSU), made of stainless steel. The industry’s first air-actuated device for swaging multiple fractional and metric tube-fitting sizes, it is intended to make tube-fitting installation easier and more cost-effective. Designed to reduce make-up torque and installation time, the unit features interchangeable, corrosion-resistant, stainless steel tooling to swage 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch and 6, 8, 10 and 12mm Swagelok tube-fitting ferrules. Powered by shop air, the AHSU is easy to operate and significantly decreases installation time and costs.
