The use of specialized tools is common in many industries. Electric torque wrenches, for example, are popular for use by experts that require accurate torque when working with a nut and bolt. This includes removing a nut that is being stubborn about coming back off. This makes pneumatic torque wrench use a regular sight in auto garages, assembly plants and factories, and more. Electric torque wrenches utilize an electric motor that is synchronized by frequency, meaning they can operate at much higher speeds than any hand tool.
For railroad technicians, the use of a process called torque bleeding is very common, as trains can cause the undesirable loosening of a nut from its bolt assembly. This leads to many railroad techs choosing to use a pneumatic torque wrench in order to secure nuts and bolts along the rail lines. Another popular pneumatic tool is called a hydraulic flange spreader, which is typically the best bet for medium pressure or high pressure flanges.
When using a pneumatic tool, calibration is essential, and the calibration should always be set to manufacturer specifications. Whether you plan to make use of a bolt tensioner, an electric hydraulic pump, a flange spreader, a hydraulic nut splitter or any other pneumatic torque tools, make certain that a professional calibrates them. Find a calibration service for your pneumatic torque wrenches and other tools by researching local suppliers that can help you save on the cost of the tool and its maintenance over the years.
