A red Zipp air tool with a black top, a hose attached, and the Zipp brand logo on the side.

ZippAir Tool ZBB10SA Pneumatic Shock-Reduced Bucking Bar

Features

  • Complete Shock-Reduced System: Pairs with shock-reduced riveting hammers to minimize recoil, reduce operator fatigue, and protect against vibration-induced strain.

  • Dual Damping Options:

    • SA Models (Pneumatic): Feature a self-adjusting, air-cushioned shock reduction system powered by compressed air for dynamic recoil absorption.

    • SP Models (Mechanical): Utilize an internal spring-dampening mechanism, delivering reliable shock reduction without requiring an external air supply.

  • Interchangeable Flexibility: Equipped with a quick-change retainer that accommodates multiple dolly configurations to easily access different rivet profiles and confined spaces.

Specification

  • Net Weight: 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg)

  • Body Diameter: 2.0 in. (48 mm)

  • Air Consumption: 1.1 CFM (0.5 L/s)

Applications

  • Aerospace & Aircraft Riveting: Drives solid aluminum and alloy rivets into airframes, wing skins, and fuselage panels with consistent shop head formation.

  • Repetitive Production Bucking: Absorbs intense impact shock to protect operators from vibration syndrome (HAVS) during high-volume assembly lines.

  • Sheet Metal Structural Fabrication: Delivers rigid, dampened backing for setting flush and protruding head rivets in sheet metal assemblies.

  • Quick-Change Dolly Adaptations: Accommodates interchangeable bucking dollies to reach confined corners, bulkheads, and offset rivet lines.

Description

The Zipp Air Tool USA ZBB10SA Shock-Reduced Bucking Bar is a pneumatic recoil-dampening tool designed to optimize riveting efficiency and operator safety in aerospace assembly and metal fabrication. Operating on a compressed air supply, the SA-series features a self-adjusting air cushion system that automatically balances against riveting hammer impacts, minimizing transmitted recoil and hand-arm vibration
