Optimizing Service Jobs with B-RAD Select: The Ultimate Guide in Precision Torque

B-RAD_Select_20-01-2016

Manually adjusting fixed wrenches to meet specific torque requirements can slow technicians down and hinder productivity during service jobs. However, the innovative B-RAD Select system offers an alternative that enables near-instantaneous torque calibration for various service tasks. 

This ultimate guide delves into the details of B-RAD Select for service and maintenance jobs, exploring how it empowers technicians to achieve precision torque application while significantly optimizing workflows and efficiency. 

On-the-Fly Torque Adjustability 

Traditional click-style wrenches force operators to slowly dial-in every torque spec needed through twisting or reindexing mechanisms. This tedious process wastes precious minutes whenever requirements change during a service job.  

Additionally, technicians risk over-compressing gaskets, seals and fragile components when re-installing hardware. They must carefully preload fasteners just short of the full torque specification. But there’s no room for estimation—exceeding the proper preload damages assemblies. 

Without pre-torque calibration capabilities, technicians are forced to gauge partial tightening manually.

Quick Tool-Free Torque Adjustment

In contrast, the B-RAD Select allows tool-free torque adjustment in seconds through an innovative push-button interface. Technicians simply increase or decrease digital torque settings by 10 ft/lbs (10 Nm).

This efficiency eliminates the need for manual settings and saves valuable time between service jobs with tight deadlines, allowing technicians to maintain focus and minimize the risk of errors.

Pre-Torque Calibration Prevents Over-Tightening 

The B-RAD Select eliminates pre-loading worries by allowing technicians to define and save specific pre-torque percentages. Just set the desired preload level, and the wrench automatically stops upon reaching that threshold to prevent over-tightening.

Intelligent Precision Control Through Advanced Electronics

At its core, the B-RAD Select leverages intelligent electronics and sensors to deliver +/- 5% accuracy. This means you can optimize service jobs through:

  • Precise measurement and control – Advanced sensors confirm both the set torque target and real-time output values, providing complete control over each tightening sequence.
  • Enhanced control at low torque – Programmable torque rate sensitivity allows for greater precision and control when working with delicate components or low torque requirements.
  • Automatic shut-off for safety – The tool automatically shuts off & then the reaction arm backs off upon reaching the target torque, preventing costly over-tightening and potential damage.
  • Detailed data logging – Integrated data logging functions (available on B-RAD S Series) automatically record torque, angle, and time measurements for each tightening sequence. This valuable data allows you to analyze trends, optimize future maintenance jobs, and ensure consistent quality.

Durable Yet Advanced: Designed to Endure Service Job Abuse

While packed with advanced features, the B-RAD Select retains the extreme durability expected of RAD Torque Systems tools. Its high-strength aluminum construction and IP67 dust and moisture resistance can withstand the harshest service job conditions.

With torque ranges up to 5,000 ft/lbs and a brushless motor, it tackles demanding maintenance tasks efficiently. The latest lithium-ion battery technology provides extended runtime, minimizing interruptions.

This RAD Gun features a lightweight pistol-grip design that reduces fatigue for user comfort. The intuitive digital controls allow for precise torque settings, minimizing errors. Whether facing heavy-duty jobs or intricate assemblies, the B-RAD Select offers the power and durability you need while remaining comfortable to use.
