Pneumatic Torque Multiplier Provides Torque Control for Manufacturing Large Gas Engines
Pneumatic Torque Multiplier Provides Torque Control for Manufacturing Large Gas Engines A manufacturer of large industrial gas engines had a torque application for fastening an industrial engine block in a washing chamber after the milling process. The large gas engines are designed and built for demanding applications in wastewater treatment plants, power plants, oil & gas fields and other energy applications all over the world. The engineers were using impact wrenches for the fastening application, but the impact tools were damaging the threads in the engine block due to the lack of proper torque control. An impact wrench is destructive by nature with its "hammering" design. These tools are not ergonomically friendly to an operator and require a high maintenance budget. A hydraulic wrenc
