Hand torque multipliers are the ideal tools for applications where air and electricity aren’t easily accessible. The gearing design allows for a high torque output with minimal input. These tools are commonly used in petrochemical, power generation, transportation, shipping and maintenance industries.

The hand torque multiplier is the ideal tool for dealing with difficult nuts and bolts – those requiring extreme applications of torque for loosening or tightening. This compact, versatile torque multiplier applies precise amounts of torque or power in nearly all heavy-duty fastening situations, eliminating the requirements for multiple operators, and enhancing safety as well.

The hand torque multiplier by Mountz is engineered for enduring performance. Mountz offers various hand torque multiplier models with a maximum torque capacity up to 36,800 foot-pounds, satisfying the requirements of even the most demanding MRO applications. Some models include a strong (anti-wind-up) ratchet, allowing jobs to be completed efficiently and safely.

From tightening large industrial bolts used in windmill gearbox assemblies to bolting maintenance applications for oil & gas pipelines and rigs, the Mountz hand torque multipliers achieve precision torque in a cost-efficient manner.

Mountz Inc. offers a cam-over torque wrench designed with a “Through Hole Spindle” for Pin Fastening applications, which cannot be gripped in the conventional manner. Fasteners such as HI-LITE®, AERO-LITE® and VERI-LITE®, are threaded pins with a close tolerance design intended for applications where aerodynamic and precision fastening is required. These ‘blind’ fasteners are increasingly being used in the aerospace industry.

Accurate tightening of blind fasteners can be achieved with this innovative torque wrench. The “Through Hole Spindle” design of the wrench makes it simple for the operator to use and ensures precision torque control. The “Through Hole Spindle” torque wrench operates by having a hexagon key  passed down the axis of the square drive shaft to hold a fastener in position while its securing nut is tightened by an operator using the torque wrench.

The “Through Hole Spindle” torque wrench is a pre-set torque wrench that’s ideal for maintenance and production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. Built with a cam-over design, the accurate torque wrench prevents a fastener or bolt from being over-torqued. The design action of the cam-over torque wrench is such that when the tool reaches its pre-set torque value the mechanism disengages from the drive thus limiting the torque applied. Designed for variety of industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, medical, and packaging, the Mountz Inc. cam-over torque wrench ensures proper torque control.

A pre-set torque wrench is similar to a person setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The torque wrench is pre-set to the required torque value of the application and then the tool signals the operator when torque is achieved.

A brushless rotary torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument designed for monitoring and testing torque applications where accuracy and reliability rank paramount. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, the brushless rotary torque sensor is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications.

For use with most power tools, high RPM tools, or rotational torque measurement applications, a brushless rotary torque sensor provides a higher level of accuracy over other standard rotary torque sensors. By connecting a brushless rotary torque sensor between an electric or pneumatic tool and an assembly application, you can monitor the torque being applied from the tool to a fastener or bolt. The torque sensor plugs into a torque tester or torque meter to display and capture the torque readings.

This special class of torque sensor is particularly valuable for measuring torque on pulse tools with strong vibrations. When using a standard rotary torque sensor for testing a pulse tool, there is a common “brush bounce” that plagues the testing accuracy. A brushless rotary torque sensor solves that issue and delivers consistently accurate readings ? whereas brushes within standard rotary torque sensors can bounce on the armature slip rings, which can impact the accuracy of the torque readings.
