For industries, the best asset is their workers that help in obtaining the best performances from the industries. The industrial tools that are used in industries are of great help for the workers for extracting the best efficiency and productivity from the industrial setup by performing various tasks in very less time and with great accuracy. One such task is the bolting task, which must be performed in a very precise manner to ensure best quality of the product, as well the best safety standards. In order to perform the bolting task in an efficient manner, proper bolting tools are essential.
A major type of bolting tool is wrench which helps the workers in performing the bolting tasks efficiently and faster. Here are some of the most commonly used wrenches in industries.
Open end wrenches
The open end wrenches are the most commonly used wrenches in the industries. They are manually operated wrenches with two openings at both sides. The both sides of the wrench have openings of different sizes which make it easier to use a single wrench on two different sizes of fasteners. The openings are tilted at a certain angle to the shaft which makes it easier for the operator to handle and operate them.
Impact wrenches
The impact wrenches are commonly used in industries where you need very high degree of accuracy along with great power. The impact wrenches are commonly used in manufacturing plants, automobile industries and several others. The impact wrenches use a very high amount of force which in turn rotates the fasteners resulting in their tightening or loosening. The impact wrenches are usually used along with impact sockets or power sockets which are designed to bear such heavy impact during usage. Using normal sockets with impact wrenches is not advisable as they can easily shatter in very short time. The impact wrenches provide a very high functionality, but they are not very accurate hence are not suitable for operations where you need high accuracy.
Torque wrenches
The torque wrenches are used in industries for operations that need very high degree of precision along with great power. The torque wrenches use a high amount of torque that is used for rotating the fasteners and tightening or loosening them. The torque wrenches are available in three different types viz. simple torque wrenches, pneumatic torque wrenches, and hydraulic torque wrenches. The hydraulic wrench manufacturers provide you with a digital display which helps you in determining how much torque you have applied on the fastener; hence it becomes easier for you to know when to stop the application of the torque on the fastener. This makes the torque wrenches very accurate and avoids damage to the bolt head due to over-tightening.
Along with these, there are also several other types of wrenches used in industries such as pipe wrenches, box wrenches, special purpose wrenches, adjustable wrenches, etc.
