Extended pneumatic torque wrench range features

Thanks to a new gearbox design, the new class leading models in Norbar Torque Tools’ range of Pneutorque® pneumatic torque wrenches are now faster, lighter, smaller and therefore much easier to handle than other units of a similar capacity.

The new ranges which have been introduced are the 540-2700 N.m and 700-3500 N.m PTM-92. To follow shortly are the 900-4500 N.m and 1200-6000 N.m PTM-119 Series Models.

Putting the weight and speed improvements into perspective, the PTM-92 3500 N.m model is half the weight and 60% faster than the nearest equivalent from Norbar’s traditional range.  Weight distribution is also critically important for ease of handling and so careful research and testing by Norbar has resulted in all of these new models being supplied with high strength but low weight aluminium reaction arms.

Speed and motor power have a major effect on workshop efficiency.  Testing at a major wind turbine manufacturer recently proved this point.  In the multi stage tightening process of the ‘shrink disc’, on each re-application of the tool the Pneutorque moved the bolt 30º more than its competitor resulting in the job being completed 25% faster.  But, in keeping with Norbar’s normal philosophy, these tools are built for durability.
