N5W 5L4			New Product Info: TA5 - Torque Arm                        At Givens Engineering, we manufacture a full line of torque arms that range from 10 Nm to 1000 Nm (7 to 750 Ft-Lb).  One of our most advanced models is the TA5.  The TA5 is used in applications up to 500Nm (or 375 Ft-Lb) of torque.  The typical reach of a TA5 is 7’ with a payload of 50 pounds.  The tool holder, which can be made custom for any application, is capable of fastening horizontal and vertical fasteners.  The tool holder shown above is a tilting tool holder used for tightening bolts on an angle.       Torque arms provide two main benefits: a) absorb the torque that is generated during tightening and b) provide lift for the nutrunner, so that the nutrunner floats at all times at the end of the arm.       A “trombone” system is used for tightening nut-and-bolt assemblies, while nutrunner clasps, swivels, brakes, nutrunner pivots, shot-pins, etc. can also be supplied to create a complete solution to any situation.  With trombones, “torque lock” is always a danger; we also supply anti-torque lock devices.       Balanced lift is provided by an air cylinder, which makes the arm float freely in a balanced state at all times. Because of this, torque arms do not require up/down pushbuttons. Most torque arms that are made at Givens Engineering are assembled from modular components for any arm length.         For more information and details on the TA5 Torque Arm or any other torque arm, call (519) 453-9008 or email to ray@giveng.com.       Givens Engineering is an innovative engineering company building a wide variety of cranes, manipulators and material handling equipment.  We are located just off the 401 in London, Ontario and only a two hour drive from Toronto, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan.  Whatever your material handling requirements, we are able to offer a solution.  Let Givens Engineering help to lift your business.
