The wind industry has spawned a range of equipment and tools for it use. Much of it centers around bolting and devices that make such tasks easier and safer. There is not much room to maneuver in a nacelle, so when bolt tightening is the task at hand a torque multiplier can be a better…
Test and measurement meets turbine tools
A distributor of handheld test and measurement instruments and provider of calibration, repair, and weighing system services, says the company may acquire wind energy tool kit manufacturer Wind Turbine Tools, Inc.
Rugged torque wrenches refined for accuracy and ease of use
A range of low profile, direct drive hydraulic torque wrenches are available for a host of industrial applications. The CD Series of tools use an unusual noncircular drive piston that gives the wrenches their slim profile, letting engineers reach awkward, restricted bolts. Although these wrenches display a low-profile cylinder and cassette width, they are said to…
Hydraulic torque wrenches
A series of hydraulic and pneumatic torque wrenches complements Tentec’s existing range of bolt-tightening tools. Three torque-wrench ranges, the SD, CD and PN series, are for engineers worldwide. The SD Series comprises square drive conventional hydraulic torque wrenches. The one piece body offers strength without the weight. For awkward or restricted bolts, the CD Series…
