Norbar launch new torque multipilier

The Pneutorque® PTM-92-4000 replaces Norbar’s PTM-92-3500 in the existing PTM-92 series. The new multiplier offers an increase in torque output from the 92mm gearbox.  Philip Brodey, Sales and Marketing Director at Norbar, said: “This update will enable us to put an even better product out on the market for our customers – especially for those maintaining where large numbers of bolts need tightening.”

Pneutorque operation is extremely quiet - less than 85dB (A) - with absolutely no impacting, making them comfortable for the operator to use, reducing fatigue and consequently increasing safety. The Pneutorque PTM-92-4000, like other Pneutorques, consists of a robust air motor driving a Norbar multiplier with three or more stages of epicyclic gearing. Torque control is achieved by adjustment of the air pressure. An air pressure versus torque graph and a calibration certificate is supplied with each tool and allows specific torque values to be set. For more critical applications, Pneutorques can be fitted with a torque transducer and the precise torque output displayed. The tool can then be shut off at the desired torque either manually or automatically using suitable control circuitry.
