3 Stage Offset Gearbox

Industry: Industrial Manufacturing

Application:

Tightening and un-tightening of bolts securing the internal plates of an industrial drum

Problem:

• Current method involves the reaction arm of the torque tool pushing a spanner against the lip of the drum. This is both unsafe practice and has the potential to damage the drum and the tooling
• Restricted access means it is difficult to achieve a safe and secure reaction point

Solution:

• 3 stage offset gearbox used in conjunction with C-RAD Pneumatic Torque Wrench

Features:

• Integral Reaction which reacts on an opposing bolt
• Steel construction for robustness
• Positive output - rotation of tool matches output drive

Benefits:

• Gearbox design overcomes the difficult access problem
• Provides a safe and secure reaction on an opposing bolt, whilst minimising the trapping hazard
• Avoids damage to the drum and the drum plates.
