FAQs
What is a 'self-colour' finish?
A self-colour finish means the product is supplied in its natural metal state, without any plating, painting, or coating. It is ready for welding and can be painted or treated afterward.
Can this hinge pin be bolted on instead of welded?
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for weld-on fitment to ensure a secure and permanent attachment.
What is the shaft diameter of the pin?
The shaft diameter of the AB Tools JAG051 hinge gudgeon pin is 12.5mm.
What is the total length of the pin?
The total length of the pin, including the head and shaft, is 100mm. The functional pin length (shaft) is 50mm.
Is this suitable for marine applications?
While durable, the self-colour finish is not inherently corrosion-resistant. For marine use, thorough cleaning, priming, and application of a marine-grade protective coating are essential after welding.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires welding equipment and expertise. Standard metal preparation tools (grinder, wire brush) are also needed to clean the surfaces before welding.
Troubleshooting
Weld does not adhere properly.
Ensure the metal surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free from contaminants (rust, paint, oil) before welding. Use appropriate welding techniques and settings for the material.
Tailboard movement is stiff after installation.
Check for any misalignment during welding. Ensure the mating hinge component moves freely on the pin. Lightly lubricate the pin if necessary.
Signs of rust appearing on the pin.
The self-colour finish offers minimal protection. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer and suitable paint or a protective coating to the welded area and pin as soon as possible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable industrial-grade build for long-lasting use.
- Secure weld-on design ensures a permanent and strong connection.
- Suitable for heavy-duty applications on trailers and trucks.
- Standard dimensions for wide compatibility with tailboard systems.
Cons
- Requires welding expertise for installation, not a direct bolt-on.
- Self-colour finish may require additional protection against rust if not treated.
- Not suitable for applications where non-permanent fixing is needed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The JAG051 is a weld-on component. Ensure the surface where it will be welded is clean and free of rust, paint, or grease for optimal weld adhesion. Position the pin accurately on the trailer chassis or tailgate frame and proceed with professional welding.
Compatibility: This hinge gudgeon pin is designed for use with tailboards on trailers and trucks. Its standard dimensions (100mm total length, 50mm pin length, 12.5mm shaft diameter) make it compatible with a wide range of common tailboard mounting systems.
Care: As the pin is supplied in a self-colour finish, it is recommended to apply a protective coating such as primer and paint after welding to prevent corrosion and extend its service life, especially in exposed or harsh environments.
