Positech's pneumatic Torque Tube absorbs shock, torsional forces and impact forces from high torque tools, such as industrial screwdrivers and nutrunners. The Torque Tube is ideal for overhead applications where repetitive lifting and torque reactions are regular tasks in the work cell. These tasks may have long-term damaging effects on the human body, resulting in increased workers' compensation claims and higher health care costs.

Advantages

5:1 design factor minimum on all structural components
Narrow design of the lift assembly minimizes obstructions in the operator's line of sight
Reduces repetitive shock force to wrists, arms and upper bodies
Pilot operated lock valve on lift cylinder prevents vertical movement if sudden loss of air pressure occurs
Minimum Lift Circuit is standard, allowing controlled downward movement
Full turn-key or integration of customer supplied torque equipment

Performance

Balance configuration for 'zero gravity' control
Variety of tool holder designs and end joints available or special designs provided
Pneumatically operated, requires clean dry input pressure
Optional bias circuitry allows for operator ease during vertical torque
Optional pistol grip or ergonomic twist grip controls
Mounting Options: single arm jib crane or trolley/overhead bridge crane
