The Huck 507 inline Hydraulic Installation Tool installs
C50L HUCKBOLT®Fasteners and HLC50L HUCKLOK®
Fasteners. When equipped with the proper (optional)
nose assembly, it can install:
-32 (1” diameter) and
-36 (1-1/8” diameter) fasteners.
Each tool has a cylinder and piston assembly. A relief
valve, designed to relieve the hydraulic pressure at both
ends of the stroke, is situated near the piston. The pintail
ejector ejects broken pintails from the nose assembly.
The end of the piston rod is threaded, and a nose
adapter and retaining rings are included for attaching
nose assemblies.
The operating pressures for the 507 tool are:
•PULL: 5400–5700 psi (372–393 bar) and
•RETURN: 2200–2400 psi (152–165 bar)
as supplied by a Huck POWERIG®Hydraulic Unit, models
940 and 918—or an equivalent hydraulic unit.
The correct PULL and RETURN pressures are important
for the proper function of the tool and Nose Assemblies,
as well as for the safety of the operator. Huck has
available a gauge (P/N T-124833CE) for checking
hydraulic pressures; instructions for its use are included
with the gauge and the Powerig.
UPDATING OLDER TOOLS
Changes were made to the 507 tool, starting with serial
number 0847. Replacement parts are still available for
the earlier models. If your tool’s serial number is lower
than 0847, Huck recommends that the tool be updated
representative for the part numbers.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
A Suspension Bracket that alleviates operator fatigue is
available from Huck. When the bracket is used with a
balance spring suspension system, much of the tool’s
weight is supported. Contact Huck Customer Service for
the part number and availability. See .

Principle of Operation
When tool hoses and cord are connected to POWERIG
hoses and control cord, PULL and RETURN strokes of
tool are controlled by a Trigger in the handle.
When the trigger is pressed, a solenoid-operated valve
Hydraulic Hose to the front side of piston, and allows
The piston and nose assembly collet moves rearward
causing follower O-rings and/or spring to impart a
forward motion to the follower.
If tool and nose assembly is in position on a fastener pin
and collar, this forward motion causes the jaws to clamp
onto pintail of fastener and installation cycle begins.
Clamping pressure is applied to the sheets. The anvil
is forced forward, swaging the collar into locking
grooves of the fastener. When the anvil hits the sheet,
Piston reaches the end of its PULL stroke, it uncovers
from PULL side to RETURN side of piston, “unloading”
When the trigger is released, the solenoid is
This causes piston and collet to move forward and
fastener. Nose assembly jaw release contacts jaws,
The Ejector Rod hydraulically ejects the pintail out the
front of the nose assembly. When the piston reaches the
end of its RETURN stroke, pressure is built up causing
the POWERIG idler valve (except on models 910 and 911)
to go to idling pressure. Idling pressure keeps the tool
