Cam Lever Hinge Pin 33105A

The Cam Lever Hinge Pin (part# 33105A) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part compatible with multiple models across the Tornado, CleanMax and Powr-Flite brands. It is the pivot pin the cam lever handle (33102) rotates on inside the handle lock assembly, and on the current Series J parts breakdown Part 33105A supersedes the earlier 33105.

Symptoms that the cam lever hinge pin needs replacing

Hinge pins fail by wear rather than breakage. The give-aways are lateral wobble in the cam lever, a lever that no longer snaps cleanly over centre, a visible flat or score line worn into the pin, or an oval pin hole in the lever. Because the pin runs against the cam lever handle (33102), the stud (33104A) and the two cam lever washers (33103 and 33106), a worn pin accelerates wear in all of them — which is why Tacony also sells the complete cam handle kit (33102-KIT).

Replacement notes

Unplug the machine and support the handle before the cam lever is released. Drive the pin out squarely; levering it out at an angle will oval the bore in the lever and leave the new pin loose from the start. Keep the two cam lever washers in their original order — 33103 and 33106 are different parts. If the pin was visibly worn, check the lever bore before reassembly, since a new pin in a worn bore will restore very little of the lock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cam Lever Hinge Pin do on the Tornado 93030?

It is the pin the cam lever handle (33102) rotates on in the handle lock assembly. The pin carries the lever through its over-centre travel, so every time the handle angle is locked or released the load passes through this pin.

How do I know if my Cam Lever Hinge Pin (part# 33105A) needs replacing?

Replace it if the cam lever has developed side-to-side play, if the pin is scored, bent or has worn a flat, or if the lever binds part way through its travel. Sloppiness at the pin usually shows up as a handle that will not lock repeatably at the same angle.
