Mining heavy equipment maintenance, high torque applications
Hydraulic wrenches and pneumatic torque multipliers
When it comes to the final torque tightening, it is advised to avoid using impact-type tools as the torque primarily relies on the operator's input. For this critical stage, we recommend utilizing impact-free wrenches to ensure precise torque application and control, to ensure more controlled and accurate tightening process, resulting in optimal final torque values.
During the maintenance of heavy mining equipment, the tightening of large threaded joints poses challenges due to high torque requirements and limited access in confined spaces. In such situations, we recommend the use of hydraulic wrenches, which enable efficient operations in these scenarios. Atlas Copco offers a product portfolio that includes square drive and low-clearance hydraulic wrenches to meet your specific needs.
Increase your productivity during the loosening or tightening of heavy-duty bolts with the slim and lightweight RTP pneumatic nutrunner from Atlas Copco. Simply connect the RTP to your airline, and you're ready to start working. The torque output of the RTP can be adjusted using an Atlas Copco FRL air pressure unit, and the torque chart provides guidance for selecting the appropriate torque setting. Despite its light weight, the RTP nutrunner delivers the power required to tighten large bolts, thanks to its high-speed motor. A robust and lightweight reaction bar effectively absorbs torque, resulting in reduced noise and vibration levels compared to traditional impact wrenches. With its compact gearbox, the RTP is one of the smallest nutrunners on the market, enabling you to work effortlessly in hard-to-reach areas.
