Extending the wrench range

Jessica Darnbrough

Enerpac has extended its range to incorporate pumping, bolting, pipeline, pre-stressing and post-tensioning technologies.

The range includes square and hexagonal drive torque wrenches including W and S rigid steel types.

The tools replace bolting and unbolting methods, such as flogging wrenches.

The W low profile hexagonal wrenches for low clearance bolting applications weigh between 1.4 and 5kg and have repeatable torque from 2712 to 20337 Nm, while the S series of double-acting square drive wrenches extends from 2.7 to 31kg with outputs of 1898 to 34437 Nm.

The W wrenches’ small nose radius measurements of 31 to 87.5mm enable them to fit into tight spaces with their hexagon range from 36 to 115mm, while S models offer from 25 to 63.5mm with square drive range from three-quarters to two-and-half inches.

According to the company, the range includes a family of aluminium cylinders weighing half their steel equivalents, Extreme Products designed for maximum corrosion and temperature resistance and ZE and ZU electric pumps with fewer moving parts that save power while extending reliability and serviceability even on remote sites with variable electricity supplies.

The range also includes a full range of sockets crafted in ISO 9001 certified facilities, hydraulic nut families, multiple bolting tasks and high levels of repeatability, bolt tensioners and portable torque multipliers to provide from 1015 to 10,845 Nm of force for tightening and loosening of nuts, bolts and stubborn or corroded fasteners requiring high torque.

Portable nut splitters, flange splitting and flange alignment tools (purpose-built to take manual labour out of the job while safeguarding the integrity of pipelines and flanged machinery) are included in the range.
