For pneumatic assembly tools to operate properly and efficiently, it’s key to provide a clean, dry flow of air to the tool. Air tools are adversely affected by moisture. Since air from a compressor contains much moisture and dust, it is desirable to provide a filter and lubricator in the pipeline to remove such undesirable…
A refinery plant had a daily maintenance application that required two large valves be opened and closed twice per day for cleaning. Two low cost torque multipliers were being used for loosening and re-tightening the bolts on the valves. These tools were selected with the intent to speed up the maintenance process and reduce the…
Small torque tools go out of calibration with use. To maintain consistent accuracy, small torque tools must be checked periodically for wear or defective parts. A small power or hand torque tool is a measuring tool that must be properly calibrated and maintained. The easy-to-use EZ-TorQ digital torque tester is ideal for all small hand…
One fastener does not fit all. Do you have the right ones for your needs? Many of the screws we sell work for a wide range of applications. Examples of good general-purpose fasteners include our line of metric pan screws, which come in slotted, Philips or Torx varieties. If you don’t have, say, a truss,…
The MTWD is a digital torque wrench that provides a digital display of torque readings. The tool is designed for screw tightening, fastener audit and general torque measurement and provides a visual, acoustic and sensory signal (handle vibrates) when the pre-set torque is reached. The user-friendly MTWD digital torque wrench is a simple to use…
To help ensure that you achieve the torque accuracy required of your application, it is important to select a power tool with low scatter and low mean shift. Joint stiffness varies, so it’s necessary to make an allowance for it to achieve the proper torque. Fitting screws into steel without interlining components is one example…
The TB is a small torque wrench with a fixed head. The versatile preset wrench is available with different head configuration options, like an open end, box end, flare end, hex key end or a ratchet head. TB models are designed to have one permanent head style attached to it. When the TB torque wrench…
If you want to boost the speed and efficiency of your assembly processes, you should look into SEMS, or “pre-asSEMbled” fasteners. These handy devices combine the screw and the washer into a single component, eliminating the need to match the right items up and slip the washer into place by hand. It also simplifies your…
Experience, Quality and Reliable In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener can vibrate or work loose: conversely, if the tension is too high, the fastener can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers are realizing that precise torque…
Hand torque multipliers are the ideal tools for applications where air and electricity aren’t easily accessible. The gearing design allows for a high torque output with minimal input. These tools are commonly used in petrochemical, power generation, transportation, shipping and maintenance industries. The hand torque multiplier is the ideal tool for dealing with difficult nuts…
