The RAD Torque Systems line of Pneumatic Torque Tools has the reputation of being the most robust and dependable air tool on the market. The limits of these Torque tools have been continued to be pushed to offer the lightest weight, most-compact, & heavy-duty options when you need your industrial torque needs met. We offer tooling options from 50 Ft Lbs. to 11,000 Ft lbs. in the pneumatic range of tooling.
There are a variety of tool options that we can offer – let us know which one best serves your needs! We offer the standard RAD Single Speed line, the RAD High Speed (automatic 2-speed), the RAD Transducer Verification models & then a variety of RAD Wheel Nut Bolting tools to suit the OTR Mining markets and fleet services.
Precision air torque wrenches are designed for mechanics and technicians who require accuracy and dependability in their work. Regardless of if you need to remove lug nuts or other fasteners the air torque wrench delivers consistent and reliable torque output, making it the ideal tool for a wide range of tasks. When connected to an air compressor hose, air wrenches generate powerful torque using short bursts of air. They enable simple and precise torque adjustments, ensuring that your fasteners are properly tightened.
Every Rad air tool is made from industrial-grade materials to withstand daily use, and a torque wrench is ideal for even the toughest jobs. It’s light and easy to use, making it ideal for use in small spaces. The ergonomic design minimizes user fatigue, allowing you to work for longer periods of time without discomfort.
An air torque wrench is ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and construction work. Whenever you need assistance determining which model you need, our experts are available to help.
What is a pneumatic torque wrench used for?
A pneumatic torque wrench is typically considered an air-driven motor that powers a gearbox which has an output square drive which accuratley applies torque. This is a tool of choice in industries where durablitiy is essential! You will see this range of tools used heavily in oil & gas pipeline installation & maintenace.
What is the difference between an impact wrench and a pneumatic torque wrench?
An impact wrench uses short hammering bursts of power to deliver the tool’s torque output. The hammering nature makes it difficult to be able to ever use this as a “final torque” tool as it’s output can not be accuractly controlled. A pneumatic torque wrench which at times can be confused for an impact wrench actually has zero impact coming out of the tool. The tool has smoothe continuous operation until final torque is achieved. There is almost always a reaction arm involved, which removes the counterforce from the tool and applies to to the adjacent nut or reaction point making the pneumatic wrench a much friendlier to use tool than an impact wrench.
How accurate is a pneumatic torque wrench?
Pneumatic torque wrenches usually perform within a +/-5% rated accuracy with a +/-2% repeatability.
What is a major advantage of a pneumatic torque wrench?
A pneumatic torque wrenches provide industrial industries a faster solution when needing to apply torque to fasteners. Previious methods included striking wrenches, long cheater bars or heavy and cubersome hydraulic units. With a pneumatic torque wrench, all you need is a sufficient air supply (100 PSI, 30-50 CFM’s) and you are ready to go to work!
