Features And Functions - norbar PNEUTORQUE PTM series Operator's Manual

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Twin Motor
The tools use two motors; motor 1 to quickly run-down the fastener and motor 2 to achieve final torque.
Torque Transducer
All tools are fitted with a torque transducer, the transducer forms part of the tool and cannot be removed. The
applied torque is accurately shown on the display in Newton metres (N·m) or pound force feet (lbf·ft.). The
display captures the peak torque and holds this value for an operator defined time before resetting.
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 can tighten and release both clockwise & counter-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 types are available, including the PTME / Nose Extension reaction. The PTME
/ Nose Extension are for use where tool access is restricted including applications on heavy vehicle wheel
nuts.
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 may be available.
Hanger
®
The hanger can be used to suspend the Pneutorque from a balancer.
