SWIVEL JAW

Product Description

The Renfroe Swivel Jaw is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use with Renfroe lifting clamps that incorporate a swivel jaw configuration. The swivel jaw provides the gripping interface between the clamp and the workpiece while incorporating a swivel function that allows the jaw to rotate and self-align to the plate surface as clamping force is applied, accommodating minor variations in plate angle, surface irregularity, or rigging geometry without compromising the integrity of the grip. This self-aligning capability ensures consistent jaw contact and reliable clamping force distribution across the gripping surface, contributing to secure and dependable plate retention throughout every lift cycle.

As a component that contacts the workpiece directly with every lift cycle, the swivel jaw is subject to wear at the gripping surface and teeth, fatigue at the swivel mechanism, and impact damage from the demands of regular industrial use in fabrication shops, steel service centers, steel mills, and plate processing facilities. Wear of the gripping teeth or surface reduces the jaw's ability to grip the plate securely under load, while wear or damage at the swivel mechanism can affect the jaw's ability to self-align correctly, either of which requires immediate replacement with a genuine Renfroe OEM swivel jaw to restore the clamp's gripping performance and self-alignment function to its original specification.

Genuine Renfroe swivel jaws are manufactured to the original dimensional, material, and hardness specifications of the clamp series for which they are designed, ensuring correct fit within the clamp body and reliable gripping and swivel performance at the clamp's rated capacity. This replacement part is intended for installation by qualified maintenance personnel performing authorized servicing or rebuild of Renfroe lifting clamps. After replacement, the clamp must be fully inspected and function tested before being returned to service in any lifting application.

Material: Alloy steel

Compatible With: Renfroe lifting clamps incorporating a swivel jaw configuration (confirm specific clamp model, series, and working load limit for correct swivel jaw selection)

Uses: Replacement swivel jaw for Renfroe lifting clamps Scheduled clamp maintenance, inspection, and rebuild programs Restoration of jaw gripping performance and self-alignment function to OEM specification

Key Features: Genuine Renfroe OEM replacement swivel jaw Swivel function allows jaw to self-align to plate surface under load Accommodates minor variations in plate angle, surface irregularity, or rigging geometry Subject to gripping surface wear and swivel mechanism fatigue requiring regular inspection Manufactured to original dimensional, material, and hardness specifications for correct fit and performance

Note: Inspect the swivel jaw gripping surface, teeth, and swivel mechanism at every scheduled maintenance interval and before each use. Replace immediately if gripping surface wear, tooth damage, swivel mechanism wear, or deformation is detected. Confirm the specific Renfroe clamp model, series, and working load limit before ordering to ensure the correct swivel jaw is selected. Installation must be performed by a qualified person. Verify correct jaw grip and swivel function before returning the clamp to service.
