For industries, the most important thing is to obtain the best efficiency and productivity with the use of proper industrial tools and accessories. One of the major operations that are performed on a regular basis in an industry is bolting operations. The bolting operations are performed for fastening and loosening of various types of fasteners, studs and bolts. For best quality of bolting operations, it is essential to use only proper bolting tools that can help in performing the operations in an efficient way. It is essential to perform the bolting operations efficiently to ensure the best quality of the products and processes as well maintain the best level of safety at workplace. Here are some of the bolting tools commonly used in industries.
Open end wrenches
The open end wrenches are simple wrenches that are provided with two openings at both ends. These opening are used for moving the fasteners. The size of both openings in the wrench is different hence a single wrench can be used for two different sized fasteners. The openings are inclined at an angle of 370 to the shaft, which helps in easy operation of the wrenches.
Impact wrenches
The impact wrenches are used in industries for operation that need to be performed with very high amount of speed and force. The impact wrenches provide high speed along with very high force. The impact wrenches are used along with specially designed impact sockets that are made from high speed carbon steel. The normal sockets cannot be used with the impact wrenches as they cannot bear the heavy impact exerted on them during the usage. They can easily shatter and cause some safety threats for the user. Hence, it is recommended to use only the specially designed power sockets with the impact wrenches. There are different types of impact wrenches used in industries such as pneumatic impact wrenches and electric impact wrenches.
Torque wrenches
The torque wrenches are used in industries for bolting operations that need a very high amount of force along with high speed and great accuracy. The torque wrenches are provided with a means to read the amount of force applied on the fasteners so that the application of force could be stopped on the fastener to avoid over-tightening of the fasteners. There are different types of torque wrenches used in industries such as simple, electric and hydraulic torque wrenches. The hydraulic torque wrenches manufacturers provide a digital display for measuring force for a highly efficient and precise bolting operation.
Nut splitters
When you face the situation of a jammed nut in industries, a nut splitter is the best way of moving a jammed nut. It can be done without causing any damage to the nearby assembly, and it also does not produce any sparks hence is applicable to places like gas and oil pipelines. It takes a very less time to move a jammed nut with the help of a nut splitter.
