Jiffy-Tap

Mounting:

Jiffy-Tap units may be mounted in any position. However, if they are to be mounted with switch cover down, two 1/8" diameter holes should be drilled in the cover, one at each end, to allow drainage of any hydraulic oil which might leak past the shaft seal in the hydraulic motor. If any drainage is noticed, a new shaft seal kit for the motor should be ordered. Like all seals on hydraulic equipment, the motor shaft seal may have to be replaced after extended service. Instructions for replacing the motor shaft seal are included with the seal kit.

To hold the Jiffy-Tap securely, four mounting holes are provided. Mounting bolts, 1/2"-13, should be used, and should be long enough to engage the Jiffy-Tap body to a depth of 5/8". A 5/8" cross key alignment groove, 5/8" wide and 3/32" deep is provided in the base of the Jiffy-Tap body. With this groove, the Jiffy-Tap can be accurately realigned with the work after having been removed for use elsewhere.

If tapping a brittle material which may produce fine granular chip dust, avoid tapping vertically upward, or use an extension on the tap with a rotary seal to prevent chip dust from getting into the Jiffy-Tap lead screw. Avoid washing fine cuttings into the lead screw with the coolant. Direct the coolant flow away from the lead screw. Use a strainer on the coolant to prevent fine granular chips from packing into the lead screw nut, causing it to lock.
