Guide & full description
Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 62 - Release lever - 1pcs
This release lever is an original replacement part (no. 62) for InkMachines rotary machines. It is part of the mechanism that quickly releases the needle bar from the retention system, allowing you to remove or reposition the needle without fully unscrewing the retainer screw. It is intended for tattoo artists who own an InkMachines machine and need to replace a worn lever or keep a spare in their kit.
How to use
- First, check compatibility with your exact InkMachines machine model. The part is listed under 'Inkmachines Parts' and 'Stingray Parts', but mechanical architectures may differ between models (e.g. Dragonfly and Stingray), so if you have doubts, confirm with the support team before installation.
- Before any intervention, disconnect the machine from the power source and remove the used needle and grip, following the sharps waste management protocol.
- For replacement, follow the manufacturer's instructions for accessing the release mechanism. While at it, also check the other system components: the releaser spring (part no. 63) and the releaser pin (part no. 64).
- Install the new lever together with the corresponding spring and pin, and ensure it automatically returns to the locked position after pressing.
- In daily use, to change the needle you press the lever to release pressure on the needle bar, remove or reposition the bar, then release the lever to lock it back in place.
- Always check that the needle bar is firmly locked in the closed position before resuming work.
- Finally, clean and disinfect the mechanism area according to your equipment hygiene routine.
Tips from us
- If the release system has play or does not return properly, also order the releaser spring (no. 63) and releaser pin (no. 64) — the three parts work together and wear out over time.
- Do not force the lever beyond its normal range of motion; rough handling accelerates pivot wear.
- Periodically check that the lever fully returns to the locked position. If it stays slightly open, the spring (releaser spring) is most likely failing.
- Apply a drop of InkMachines oil (part no. 56) on the lever pivot every few weeks for smooth operation.
- Prefer the original part: correct geometry and tolerances ensure secure locking of the needle bar.
Frequently asked questions
What does this lever actually do on the InkMachines machine?▾
It is the lever that quickly releases the needle bar from the machine's retention system. When you press it, pressure on the bar is released and you can remove or reposition the needle without fully unscrewing the retainer screw. This greatly shortens the time between operations (e.g. when changing the needle) and keeps your workflow steady.
How do I know it needs replacement?▾
Typical signs of wear are: the lever no longer fully returns to the locked position, has excessive play on the pivot, the needle bar does not lock firmly even with the lever closed, visible deformations appear, or an unusual metallic sound when actuated. If problems persist even after checking the spring (no. 63) and pin (no. 64), the lever itself must be replaced.
Is it compatible with my model (Stingray, Dragonfly, etc.)?▾
The part is listed in the InkMachines parts catalog, under 'Inkmachines Parts' and 'Stingray Parts'. However, different models may have different mechanical architectures, so check the specifications for your exact model and version before ordering. If you are not sure, contact the tatuat.ro support team to confirm compatibility.
Do I need to order other parts with it?▾
Not mandatory, but worth it. The lever is part of a three-component system: the lever itself (no. 62), the releaser spring (no. 63) which returns it to the locked position, and the releaser pin (no. 64) the axle on which it pivots. If any of them is worn, the quick release system no longer works correctly, so it is useful to have them on hand.
How do I maintain and clean it?▾
Maintenance is minimal. During deep cleaning of the machine, clean the pivot mechanism with isopropyl alcohol to prevent residue buildup, and every few weeks apply a drop of InkMachines oil (no. 56) on the pivot. Periodically check that the lever fully returns to the locked position and avoid forcing it beyond its normal limit.
Can I repair the old lever instead of replacing it?▾
It is not recommended. It is a precision part, and any modification of the geometry by bending, filing, or welding compromises its function: it may no longer properly lock the needle bar or release it completely. Replacing with the original part is the safe option.
