Industrial Torque Wrench Types and Uses
Types of Industrial Torque Wrenches and How to Choose the Right One for Your Application
Industrial torque wrenches are essential tools for applying precise torque to fasteners in heavy-duty environments. Whether in power generation, oil and gas, construction, or manufacturing industries, selecting the right type of torque wrench can significantly impact safety, efficiency, and productivity.
SCW-R Battery Powered Brushless Torque Wrench with Corner & Angle Mode
Electric Torque Wrenches
Electric torque wrenches, available in both corded and battery-powered versions, offer excellent accuracy and repeatability.
SM-A Series Electric Torque Wrench
Advantages of Electric Models
These tools can be preset to a specific torque value, with a precision of ±3% to ±5%, making them ideal for applications that demand consistent performance.
Battery-powered models provide portability and ease of use. To avoid downtime, users should always keep spare batteries or a charger at hand.
Corded versions are suitable for static workstations but require a stable and clean power supply to operate effectively and safely.
Hydraulic Torque Wrenches
Hydraulic torque wrenches are the go-to choice for high-torque applications, often delivering over 25,000 ft.-lbs. of force.
SDW Series Square Drive Hydraulic Torque Wrench
High-Torque with Safety in Mind
These wrenches come in two designs: square drive and low-profile cassettes. While the tool itself is relatively lightweight, it must be used with pumps and heavy-duty hoses.
Due to the risks associated with Hydraulic Systems, such as pinch points and fluid leaks, only trained personnel should operate these tools.
Pneumatic Torque Wrenches
Pneumatic torque wrenches combine power and speed. Like hydraulic wrenches, they can achieve high torque outputs with minimal operator effort.
SFW-A Pneumatic Torque Wrench
Requirements and Benefits
These tools require an air compressor and hose system. While they are not as mobile as battery-powered options, they are more cost-effective for repetitive tasks in industrial settings.
Hydraulic Torque Multipliers
Torque multipliers are designed for tightening or loosening bolts that require higher torque than standard wrenches can provide.
1-500 Nm Preset Torque Wrench,DA Series
Efficiency and Operator Safety
They increase torque gradually and precisely, helping to prevent over-torquing and reducing the risk of injury during manual operations.
Torque multipliers are ideal when dealing with over-tightened or hard-to-loosen fasteners in confined spaces.
