The TE-6001-9 is a small shoulder bolt specifically designed for the top tub housing strut holder assembly in the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet. This precision fastener secures the strut component that connects the inlet housing sections, ensuring proper structural integrity during high volume air sampling operations.
Function
The shoulder bolt fastens the middle of the strut to the hole in the spacer, working in conjunction with a large washer positioned on top of the strut. This configuration maintains the precise alignment and spacing required for optimal PM10 particle separation within the size selective inlet.
Compatibility
This small shoulder bolt is designed exclusively for use with the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet. During assembly, the shoulder bolt and large washer are removed from the strut holder, then reinstalled to secure the strut in its operational position.

Installation Notes

Proper installation is critical for maintaining the structural stability of the inlet system during sampling operations. This bolt should be inspected regularly and replaced if signs of wear or thread damage are observed.
