Guide: Choosing the Right Torque Multiplier

Choosing the appropriate heavy torque tool is essential for the task at hand. When dealing with challenging nuts and bolts, particularly those that are corroded, the fundamental need for power is undeniable.

In nearly every heavy industrial application, turning threaded fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, is evaluated based on two primary criteria: the need to fasten tightly enough to prevent movement of parts and achieve a good seal without exceeding the fastener's elasticity level, and ensuring successful removal of fasteners after prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions. These criteria are essential to maintaining the structural integrity and operational efficiency of machinery and equipment in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive sectors.

Selecting the right heavy torque tool for the job is crucial, especially when dealing with challenging fastening tasks, such as turning stubborn or corroded nuts and bolts. While power is undoubtedly essential in such situations, it's equally crucial to ensure controlled power—what we refer to as "controlled torque." Controlled torque provides smooth and continuous rotation, minimizing the risk of damaging threads, breaking bolt heads, or causing personal injury to operators.

Technicians and engineers are increasingly recognizing the importance of utilizing a comprehensive range of torque control products to effectively apply high torque. This range includes both manual and powered torque wrenches, as well as torque multipliers, each offering unique advantages depending on the specific application requirements. Among these tools, Mountz torque multipliers stand out for their precision torque control, making them indispensable for assembling and servicing threaded fasteners with utmost accuracy and safety.

Comparing Mountz Torque Multipliers with Hydraulic Wrenches:

Hydraulic wrenches have long been favoured for their ability to deliver high torque output. However, they come with notable drawbacks, including heavy ratchets, bulky compressors, and laborious operation. Hydraulic tools operate through a hydraulic ram that extends and retracts, ratcheting the head—a process that often requires the operator to stand by the pump with a hand-held controller, leading to inefficiencies and prolonged setup times. In contrast, Mountz Torque Multipliers offer significant advantages in terms of speed, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. With smooth torque control and continuous rotation, they eliminate the cumbersome setup process associated with hydraulic wrenches, resulting in faster and more efficient fastening operations.

Comparing Mountz Torque Multipliers with Impact Wrenches:

Impact wrenches are known for their hammering action, which can be destructive to fasteners and equipment. Additionally, these tools are often not ergonomically friendly to operators and require substantial maintenance efforts and costs. Mountz torque multipliers provide a safer and more ergonomic alternative, offering precise torque control without the damaging effects of impact wrenches' hammering motion. By reducing repair costs and improving operator comfort, Mountz Torque Multipliers contribute to overall operational efficiency and safety in industrial settings.

Mountz Eliminator Torque Multipliers are available in hand, pneumatic, and electric models, offering versatility and flexibility to suit diverse application needs. Whether it's for precision torque control, speed, power, ease of use, or safety, Mountz Torque Multipliers are the preferred choice for professionals across various industries, ensuring reliable and efficient fastening solutions in heavy industrial environments.
