The newly launched TrukTorque™ pneumatic torque multiplier from Norbar Torque Tools features a special banana shaped design reaction arm to handle bolt tightening on both front and rear wheels of trucks and buses. The design also easily accommodates wheel trims and deeply recessed wheel bolts. Additionally, the multiplier has none of the noise and vibration problems associated with impact wrenches.
The TrukTorque™ offers the ultimate in accuracy, safety and convenience. The tool operates up to 1000 N.m of torque with a ¾” drive, is considerably lighter than a comparable impact wrench and is designed so that the operator’s hands do not risk getting caught in trapping zones while parts are being tightened.
The way the TrukTorque™ works is it has two pneumatic motors that are connected to a gearbox. The two motors rotate at different rpm’s to allow faster rotation while under small loads, then during tightening the two motors work together to torque the nut or bolt in place. A specific pressure vs. torque chart is tested and given with each tool. To obtain a desired torque the pressure needs to be adjusted according to the chart. It has a 5% repeatability.
