TA2 TORQUE ARM
Torque Arms are devices that support tightening tools such as torque guns, nutrunners and screwdrivers.
Torque Arms provide two main benefits:
1) They absorb the torque that is generated during tightening
2) They provide lift for the nutrunner, so that the nutrunner floats at all times on the end of the arm
The ergonomic benefit of torque arms increase as tool weight and torque are increased.
Givens Engineering offers an assortment of torque arms for a wide range of torque applications up to 750 ft*lb (1000 N*m).
The TA2 torque arm is a pneumatically balanced, articulating arm.
It is sized for medium to high torque applications: 225 N*m [167 ft*lb]. (For higher torques, we also provide the TA5.)
Torque arms are typically column mounted but it is possible to mount torque arms on a carriage so that it may be moved along an assembly line.
Our basic torque arms are not supplied with a tool holder due to the multitude of applications. A tool holder may be quoted as an optional extra for any torque tool
Features:
- Torque arms support the weight of the end effector / tooling, instead of the operator.
- The load 'floats'; no up/down pushbuttons are required
- The arms are lightweight and agile. The bearing assemblies are made from anodized aluminum.
- Softstops (as opposed to hardstops) at the first and second axis are adjustable
- The arms are clamped to the post, the height can be adjusted
Optional Accessories:
- Brakes are available for the first and second axis, to eliminate drift
- Bearing block assemblies are available at the end of the arm allowing the end effectors to rotate
- The parallel arms can be fitted with vertical travel stops
- The STD-TA series is compatible with the Pinpoint 'SmartARM' system. This SmartARM system tracks the position of the tool and allows individual torque values to be programmed for every fastener
