Guide & full description
Complete guide: Screw kit Hummingbird
This is the set of original replacement screws for Hummingbird rotary machines — the fasteners that hold together the motor, housing, and needle bar. It is useful if you work with a Hummingbird machine and want to have the fasteners on hand for maintenance, periodic cleaning, or a potential repair. It is a preventive spare part, not a consumable: a single lost or damaged screw during disassembly can immobilize the machine until you get the right part. Suitable both for an artist with a single machine and for a studio with multiple units that keeps a centralized stock of parts.
How to use
- Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source before any intervention, and work on a clean, light-colored surface where small screws are easily visible.
- Identify the screw that needs to be replaced or supplemented by comparing it with the pieces in the kit, so you use exactly the right fastener for that location (motor fixing, housing, retainer screw for needle bar).
- Use the correct tool (the hex key or screwdriver that fits exactly into the head) to avoid rounding the screw head.
- When mounting into an aluminum body, start the thread by hand, carefully, to catch it straight — the aluminum thread can be damaged if you force the screw crooked.
- Tighten firmly, but without overtightening; then check that the motor, housing, and needle bar are properly fixed and without play.
- Sanitize the exposed components according to your usual protocol before reassembly, then reassemble the machine.
- Briefly test the machine at low parameters before using it in work, to confirm everything is tightened correctly and there are no vibrations.
- Store the remaining screws from the kit in a small, labeled container so you have them on hand next time.
Tips from us
- Keep a spare kit in the studio: if you lose or damage a screw in the middle of a session, you can continue immediately instead of canceling appointments.
- When disassembling, work over a tray or a light-colored towel — small screws easily jump from tweezers and get lost in hard-to-reach places.
- Do not overtighten, especially in aluminum parts; 'firm' is better than 'forced' to avoid damaging the thread in the machine body.
- Photograph or note the order of parts during disassembly, so reassembly is quick and correct.
- If a thread in the machine body is already damaged, do not force a new screw over it — fix the thread issue first, otherwise you risk a bigger failure.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does the Hummingbird screw kit contain?▾
The kit includes the screws and fasteners for the machine assembly: the motor mounting screws, the housing assembly screws, and the retainer screw for the needle bar. According to the manufacturer's description, the exact content may vary slightly between production batches if the design is updated. The idea of the kit is to cover the machine’s fastening points in a single package, so you don’t have to order each screw individually.
Does it include the retainer screw?▾
Yes, according to the product data, the retainer screw is part of the set. This makes the kit advantageous if you need both the retainer screw and other screws. However, if you only need the retainer screw, it is also available separately on tatuat.ro.
Which Hummingbird machines is it compatible with?▾
According to the product description, the set is compatible with all Hummingbird versions — V1, V2, and V2B. If you have doubts about your specific model, you can write to us with the machine number/version and we will check together before ordering.
Can I use generic screws bought from a hardware store?▾
It is not recommended. A generic screw may have a different thread pitch or profile and can damage the thread in the machine’s aluminum, may be too long and touch internal components, or may be made of a material that corrodes in contact with sterilizing agents. A set of original screws, with correct tolerances, eliminates these risks at a low cost relative to the machine’s value.
How do I care for and clean the screws?▾
Sanitize them together with the other exposed components, according to your usual cleaning/sterilization protocol, then dry them well before reassembly. Store any spare screws you don’t use in a small, clean, labeled container so they don’t get lost and remain ready for assembly.
Can I completely rebuild the machine just with this kit?▾
No. The kit only covers the fasteners (screws). For a complete rebuild you also need the other components — the motor, cam, needle bar, springs, and housing parts — which are ordered separately. The kit complements them, it does not replace them. Disassembly and reassembly are recommended for individuals experienced in maintaining rotary machines.
