Pay attention to the basics!
As
an end user you have a lot of options to consider when deciding what
powered torque wrench is suitable for you. Torque capacity, fit of tool,
ease of use and cost.....but the most important aspect for any
industrial tool is durability. The basic function of any powered torque
tools is to tighten/loosen bolts repeatedly and accurately. Many
manufacturer's offer digital displays, programming, blue tooth
connectivity etc, but in the end if the torque tool is not robust enough
to last in demanding applications then all of these features all
useless. Next time you have a requirement for a torque tools, first take
a look at the mechanical construction of the tool, i.e the robustness
of the gearbox and motor and then look at the various features.
The
weakest point of all powered torque multipliers is the ability of the
planetary gearboxes to handle the extreme stress and strain on the
internals when applying high torque.As can be seen from the above
pictures the 1st stage and 2nd stage of Alkitronic tools (right) are
significantly bigger than those of the other mainstream manufacturer's.
This in addition to specially machined gears with sintered edges, give
Alkitronic tools a strength advantage. So
if you want a tool that is going to last a long time, and achieve
repeatable and accurate torque, then Alktironic is the right choice for
you.
