Bramley Model SJ2 & SJ2M Swaging & Jennying Machine
Thank you for purchasing this high quality, industrial duty, swaging machine.
RR Bramley & Co Ltd have a proud history of engineering, celebrating our 100th year
of business in 2021. We’ve been manufacturing machine tools under our Bramley
brand since 1953, building an enviable reputation for quality, performance and
durability.
With care and a little regular maintenance your new machine, like us, will provide
years of dependable service.
Before use (SJ2 & SJ2M)
The machine has had rust preventative applied
to all exposed parts. This should be thoroughly
cleaned and replaced, as required, with a thin
smear of light machine oil. Securely fasten to
a stable work bench, or can be mounted to the
Bramley Stand (part number BGP).
Lubrication
Apply grease regularly (fortnightly) to all 4 grease
nipples (2 on the front, and 2 on the rear)
provided. A few drops of oil onto the gears is
also recommended.
Operation
The machine can be used in 2 settings:
1. By moving the Hook Plates down, heavy swaging and crimping of mild steel up to 1.6mm thickness
can be carried out.
2. With the Hook Plates up, 380mm of usable throat will allow swaging of mild steel up to 1.2mm at any
point to the maximum reach.
The Bottom Shaft slides forwards and backwards to allow easy centralising of the Top and Bottom
Wheels. This can be done by rst loosening the Clamp Bolts (16mm spanner required) and then using the
Adjusting Lever on the other side of the machine to slide the Bottom Shaft to the desired position.
The Guide Plate can be positioned where required to operate as a depth stop with a range up to 275mm.
The Top Shaft pivots up and down and is lowered during operation by means of the Top Handle. This
handle is slowly screwed down while rotating the shafts back and forth. Slowly forming the bend in this
manner will help to overcome possible cutting or splitting of the sheetmetal.

All rollers (except the crimping rollers) use a collar that spaces the roller out to the end of the shaft.
Fit keys (provided) to both shafts to drive the rollers.
The Crimping Rollers are tted directly onto the shafts - no collars are required.
The Crimping Rollers only require one key to be tted to the
Bottom Roller.
If the Guide Plate is required for swaging further in the job (with the
Hook Plates up), the Guide Plate will need to be removed to allow the
Guide Bracket to slide further back (to a maximum of 275mm) before
the Guide Bracket shafts interfere with the Crank Handle.
If greater guide depth is required shorter Guide Shafts need to be
tted, these are available for purchase separately as an accessory.
Once the desired form has been achieved the two wheels can be
separated by unscrewing the Top Handle. The spring loaded Top Shaft
will be raised automatically as this handle is unscrewed.

position for heavy swaging work.
SJ2M - motorised version
Supplied with heavy-duty 750W (1HP), 3Ph motor and reduction
gearbox to drive the rollers at 38 rpm, controlled via interlocked
forward / reverse foot switches.
