MARSON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MARSON from 3G Electric.
What is the air pressure requirement for MARSON air riveters?
MARSON air riveters are designed to operate with compressed air at a pressure of 90 to 100 psi (6.2 to 6.9 bar). The tools use a 1/4 in Female NPT air inlet, which is standard for pneumatic tools in industrial settings. Operating outside this pressure range may reduce pulling force or cause inconsistent rivet setting. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry to prevent internal wear.
How do I choose between MARSON models like the V-4 and the AH-250?
Selection depends on the rivet size and material thickness. The V-4 has a 9/16 in stroke and 3,055 lbf pulling force, suitable for 3/16 in to 1/4 in diameter rivets in aluminum or steel. The AH-250 offers a 3/4 in stroke and 5,280 lbf pulling force, designed for larger rivets up to 5/16 in diameter or harder materials like stainless steel. Match the tool's pulling force to the rivet manufacturer's recommended installation force.
Can MARSON air riveters be used for stainless steel rivets?
Yes, but only models with sufficient pulling force. For stainless steel rivets, which require higher force due to material hardness, use the AH-250 (5,280 lbf) or the 304E (4,200 lbf). Lower-force models like the V-2 (1,940 lbf) may not set stainless rivets completely. Always verify the rivet manufacturer's force specification before use.
What maintenance is required for MARSON air riveters?
Regular maintenance includes lubricating the air motor with pneumatic tool oil through the air inlet before each use. Clean the nose piece and jaws after each shift to remove debris. Inspect the O-rings and seals periodically for wear. Models with adjustable stroke mechanisms may require occasional calibration. Refer to the user manual for specific intervals.
Are MARSON air riveters compatible with all blind rivet brands?
MARSON tools are designed to install blind rivets that meet standard dimensional specifications (e.g., ISO 15977, DIN 7337). They work with rivets from any manufacturer as long as the rivet diameter and grip range fall within the tool's capacity. However, the nose piece may need to be changed for different rivet diameters. Check the tool's included accessories for available nose piece sizes.
What is the warranty on MARSON air riveters purchased from 3G Electric?
Warranty terms are provided by MARSON and may vary by model. Typically, MARSON offers a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. 3G Electric does not modify these terms. For specific warranty details, refer to the product documentation or contact 3G Electric's support team with the model number.
