FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Twin Motor
The tools use two motors; one to quickly run-down the fastener and the other to achieve final torque.
Trigger
The trigger controls the flow of air. The more the trigger is pressed the more air flows into the tool. This
allows for slow positioning of socket and reaction bar. Once positioning is complete, the trigger must be fully
pressed for correct torque application.
Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise Selector
Tools fitted with this option can be used for tightening counter-clockwise threaded fasteners and for releasing
clockwise threaded fasteners.
Reaction Bar
The reaction bar ensures all reaction forces are contained, so that torque reaction is not passed back to the
operator. Several reaction bar styles are available, including the PTME / Nose Extension reaction where tool
access is restricted including applications on wheel nuts on heavy vehicles.
Non-Impacting
Low vibration levels make these tools comfortable and safe for the operator to use. In addition there is less
damage to the tool, socket and threaded assembly.
Replaceable Drive Square
To avoid internal damage to the tool (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been
designed to shear first. Pneutorque
®
tools are fitted with a drive square that can easily be replaced;
alternative drive square sizes are also available.
Hanger
The hanger can be used to suspend the Pneutorque
®
from a balancer.
Quick Tool Coupling
Air couplings supplied to allow quick tool connection and disconnection from the air hose.
