535A Automatic Threading Machine

The RIDGID 535A pipe threader is a stationary, electric motor-driven threading machine designed for high-productivity pipe and bolt fabrication. Its defining feature is the automatic chuck system, which uses four reversible forged jaws to instantly grip and center pipe, conduit, or bolt stock without manual adjustment. This machine is built with a high-clearance carriage and an oversized oil reservoir to support continuous, uninterrupted threading cycles.

Performance and Power:

• Operating Speed: Standard 36 RPM (consistent speed under load).
• Duty Cycle: 100% continuous duty rating for industrial production.
• Acoustics: Induction motor design allows for quieter operation compared to universal-motor alternatives. Mechanical Features:
  • Automatic Chuck: Eliminates manual chucking time, increasing throughput speed by up to 40% compared to manual models.
  • Oiling System: Integrated self-priming gerotor oil pump provides a constant, adjustable flow through the die head to maximize die life.
  • Chip Management: Features a large chip tray and a 1.75-gallon (6.6 L) oil reservoir to reduce the frequency of maintenance stops.
  • Rear Centering Device: Automatic cam-action device that rotates with the chuck to ensure the pipe remains perfectly aligned.
