Bridgeport 12193498 Feed Trip Lever Assembly

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT 12193498 is a feed trip lever assembly designed as a replacement component for Bridgeport milling machines. The feed trip lever controls the engagement and disengagement of the table feed mechanism, stopping powered table travel at a preset position. This assembly is a direct-fit part for the lower housing of 2J and J-Head style machines and is installed by machinists or mill service technicians performing mechanical maintenance on the feed drive system. At 1 pound, the assembly is a compact hardware component built for precise mechanical operation in production and job-shop environments.

This feed trip lever assembly is intended for use with Bridgeport I Series milling machines equipped with 2J and J-Head lower housing configurations. It is a common service part replaced during preventive maintenance or when the existing lever shows wear, breakage, or failure to trip the feed drive reliably. Installation is typically performed during a scheduled downtime on manual knee mills in machine shops, toolrooms, and industrial maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright, machine tool technician, or maintenance mechanic.

Consult the Bridgeport service manual for the correct assembly sequence and hardware torque procedures specific to your machine model. Inspect adjacent feed drive components for wear while the assembly is removed to avoid repeat service calls.
