Pivot Sleeve .5 in. 30461

The Pivot Sleeve (part# 30461) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part for the wide-area vacuum family, and it fits more than one machine. This is the smaller half-inch Pivot Sleeve, a short bushing that gives a moving joint on the wide-area vacuum a smooth, low-friction bearing surface so the part swings freely without metal-on-metal wear. Fits Tornado 93030, Tornado 93031, CleanMax CM-WAV and Powr-Flite PF2030.

Compatible Models for the Pivot Sleeve

• Tornado 93030 30″ Clean-Air Carpetkeeper (Wide Area) — all series D through J
• Tornado 93031 30″ Clean-Air Carpetkeeper (Wide Area) 230V
• CleanMax CM-WAV Wide Area Vacuum
• Powr-Flite PF2030 30-Inch Wide Area Commercial Vacuum

As a bushing, this half-inch Pivot Sleeve absorbs the wear at its joint so the shaft and bore do not. Over time the sleeve itself wears thin and the joint develops play, gets stiff, or squeaks. Signs it needs replacing are looseness or slop at the joint it serves, a stiff or notchy pivot, a squeak under motion, or a sleeve that is visibly worn, cracked, or spun in its bore. Replacing this small sleeve is a cheap way to take the play out of the joint and protect the more expensive shaft. It presses into its bore during service.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tacony equipment since 1956 and stocks the genuine 30461 part rather than a generic substitute. Browse the full Tornado CK 3030 wide-area vacuum for related parts, or read more on the Tornado manufacturer site.
