Rotary Torque Units - RTU


 

The Rotary Torque Unit is designed to be used ‘in-line’ to limit torque for both manual and certain power-driven applications.

Repeatability within +/- 6% of pre-set torque value.

  • Reliable radial torque mechanism.
  • The mechanism ‘slips free’ when the pre-set torque value is reached, eliminating overtightening. The mechanism then automatically resets.
  • Pre-set using a torque analyzer.
  • Robust construction with corrosion-free finish.
  • CH models are suitable for chuck adaptation.
  • Non-length dependent.
