Torque Multiplier

A torque multiplier is a tool that provides a mechanical advantage to increase the amount of torque (rotational force) that can be applied when tightening or loosening nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. Beta Tools has many options for your needs including:

Improved Safety

Torque multipliers reduce the physical strain and effort required to tighten or loosen heavy-duty fasteners, nuts, and bolts. This minimises the risk of serious injury from overexertion or using unsafe techniques like cheater bars.

Greater Precision

Torque multipliers are designed to apply precise and controlled torque levels, ensuring fasteners are properly tightened to the required specifications. This accuracy helps prevent under-tightening or over-tightening issues.

Increased Efficiency and Productivity

By reducing the manual effort needed, torque multipliers allow workers to complete tightening and loosening tasks faster and with less fatigue. This increased efficiency translates to higher productivity levels and cost savings.

Versatility

Torque multipliers are available in various types (manual, pneumatic, electric) to suit different applications and power source availability, such as field service or heavy manufacturing environments.

Ease of Use

Torque multipliers generally require minimal training and maintenance compared to other torque tools, making them user-friendly and easy to operate.

Ability to Loosen Stubborn Fasteners

The high torque output of multipliers makes them particularly useful for loosening seized or extremely tight fasteners that would be difficult or impossible with manual tools alone. By leveraging the mechanical advantage of torque multipliers, industries like automotive, oil and gas, manufacturing, and construction can benefit from improved worker safety, precise torque control, increased productivity, and the ability to handle demanding tightening and loosening tasks efficiently.

Here are the key factors to consider when choosing the right torque multiplier for a specific application:

Torque Output Requirements

Determine the required torque output for the application. This depends on the size and type of fasteners being tightened or loosened. Choose a torque multiplier with a sufficient torque capacity to handle the job.

Torque Multiplication Ratio

The torque multiplication ratio determines how much the input torque is amplified. A higher ratio allows generating more output torque with less input effort. However, this comes at the cost of reduced rotational speed. Select a ratio appropriate for the application.

Power Source Availability

Torque multipliers are available in manual, pneumatic, and electric versions. Consider the power source availability in the work environment. Manual multipliers are the most flexible, while pneumatic and electric require compressed air or electricity respectively.

Workspace Constraints

The size and weight of the torque multiplier should be suitable for the available workspace. In tight spaces, a smaller and lighter multiplier may be preferred over a larger model with higher torque capacity.
