<p>A swaging tool (10) for swaging a fitting (12) to a tube includes a tubular housing (22) having a first jaw unit on a first end portion (28) of the housing and a closed cylinder at a second end portion (30) of the housing. The closed cylinder has a port (42) for receiving pressurized fluid. A ram (124) is movable in opposite axial directions in the closed cylinder of the housing. A piston (34) having a second jaw unit is located in a middle portion of the housing in engagement with the ram. A stabilizing pin (160) is slideably received through the piston and into the ram. Bearings are located on an end of the stabilizing pin and on the ram to react the moments generated during swaging directly into the housing.</p> |
