Wright Tool introduces pneumatic torque wrench system

Wright Tool added the WRIGHTTorque System to its line of torque wrenches.

Wright Tool added the WRIGHTTorque System to its line of torque wrenches. The patent-pending wrenches are continuous-turning, high-speed pneumatic torque wrenches that reduce time and money, the company said.

The pneumatic torque wrenches are designed for applications in confined areas requiring high torque at a specific value. Users pre-set the torque value, which shuts off automatically when it is achieved. They have torque ranges from 88 to 4,500 pounds per foot within accuracy and repeatability of five percent.

The torque wrenches are designed to provide time savings up to 70 percent, depending on the bolting application. These new pneumatic wrenches reduce vibration, damage to fasteners and assemblies, and other problems associated with impacting tools.

The wrenches have an ergonomic 360-degree swivel handle and an ergonomic forward and reverse switch on the motor, designed to provide comfort and safety to the end user. The modular-designed multiplier has a self-contained gear set that can be easily removed from the six-vane high output motor, the company said. Removable and interchangeable reaction arms (800, 1,800, 3,000 and 4,500 pounds per foot) connect to the same motor.

“WRIGHTTorque pneumatic torque wrenches have a 100 percent duty cycle, meaning it can run at the highest torque all day long,” said Greg Helbling, vice president of sales, Wright Tool. “This new torque system has the best features of a hand torque and impact wrench. Users can achieve exact, certifiable torques quickly, safely and economically.”

The WrightTorque System includes a reaction arm, a 12-foot hose, regulator, storage cage and a calibrated torque/PSI chart. The wrenches are manufactured by BOLTTECH Inc.
