A pneumatic torque wrench is used when the job to be done requires a specific measured torque to ensure that the tightness of the bolts and nuts meet the desired level. Maintaining the correct level of tightness is very important in ensuring that all the assembled parts exert proportional force. This is so that the final product would have a construction of good integrity.

Pneumatic torque wrenches use air pressure to operate the tool why a hydraulic torque wrench uses fluid power. They follow the same principles of hydraulics and pneumatics.

You might think that turning a screw or nuts and bolts shouldn't require much science but in the industry sector, the slightest difference in the way a screw is turned, or the speed and pressure of which it is turned can cause a significant headache for the plant manager. A pneumatic torque wrench solves a lot of problems for factory operations.

A pneumatic torque wrench allows for accurate and repeatable output. This is important in factories that values uniformity in production output.

A pneumatic torque wrench allows for a smooth and continuous rotation with less vibration and less impact on the components. Again this is important especially if the products being handled are finished products.

Using a pneumatic torque wrench is safer and less tiring for the plant worker. A manual revolution of the turbine requires hundreds and hundreds of turning on the at the turning gear end. This makes workers more productive and safer too.

It also allows to save on the cost of human labor as one person would be able to inspect products a hundred of feet away from the turning gear. A pneumatic torque wrench is also a measuring tool and can work as a means for quality control.

Utilizing available technology makes work safer and easier for us.
