Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 133 - Contact Pin - 1pcs
This is the original replacement part no. 133 (contact pin) for the InkMachines Scorpion X2 rotary machine. Essentially, it is the electrical component through which current passes from the power supply to the machine's motor, and the quality of this contact determines the stability of the needle movement. It is intended for artists who own a Scorpion X2 and need a spare part in the workshop or need to replace a worn, oxidized, or intermittently contacting pin. The package contains 1 piece.
How to use
- Turn off the power supply and completely disconnect the machine (cable or wireless source) before any intervention on the electrical part.
- Partially disassemble the machine to reach the compartment where the contact pin sits, following the official InkMachines instructions for the Scorpion X2.
- Carefully remove the old pin without forcing the connectors around it.
- Clean the contact seat if you see signs of oxidation, using a dedicated solution for electrical contacts, and let it dry completely.
- Install the new pin no. 133 in the correct position and ensure it makes a firm contact, not loose.
- Reassemble the machine and check the fastening of all components.
- Connect the power source and test at low voltage: the motor should start consistently, without unexpected stops or starts.
- Do a short test before working on skin — if the needle movement is uniform, the pin is correctly installed.
Tips from us
- Keep 1-2 spare pins in the workshop so that an unexpected failure does not interrupt your work schedule.
- Do not touch the contact surface with your fingers — grease and sweat accelerate oxidation.
- If you have intermittent contact but the pin looks good, you can first try a fine cleaning of the contacts before replacing it.
- Choose the original InkMachines part: the dimensions and conductivity are designed for the connectors of the Scorpion X2 machine.
- Note the date when you changed the pin, so you can track the wear rate over time.
Warning: Intervene on the electrical part only with the power source off and the machine disconnected. The contact pin is a part related to the electrical safety of the equipment: an unstable contact can cause intermittent operation, overheating, or damage to the connectors, so do not improvise with parts that do not fit. Although the pin is inside the machine, the machine operates in proximity to the sterile field — follow the usual hygiene and barrier protocol (protective film on the machine, gloves, disinfection) after any maintenance maneuver, before the next session.
