  • Patent number: 7155790
    Abstract: An axial swaging tool including a housing defining a chamber, a piston rod held statically in the chamber, a piston conformingly receiving and slidable along the piston rod, a ram conformingly receiving and slidable on a first end of the piston rod, a first engagement member statically positioned on the housing, a second engagement member positioned on the piston, and a spring adjoining the piston and an end of the piston rod. The spring is configured to bias the piston away from a second end of the piston rod, such that the second engagement member is biased away from the first engagement member, the piston rod is biased against a first end of the housing, and piston is biased against the ram, which in turn is biased against a second end of the housing.
