What is an Impact Wrench?
An impact wrench is a tool that utilizes a discontinuous drive clutch system and compressed air to generate torque. Widely used across various industries, these wrenches are commonly employed for tightening lug nuts during tire changes on automobiles.
Impact wrenches possess a "hammering" design that can be inherently destructive. Due to the lack of precise torque control, these tools can easily damage parts and threads of fasteners. Consequently, they tend to both under-tighten and over-tighten fastening applications.
Despite their initial affordability, impact wrenches have drawbacks. They are not operator-friendly in terms of ergonomics and require a substantial maintenance budget, often necessitating frequent servicing throughout the year. As an alternative, pulse tools offer enhanced productivity, superior ergonomics, reliability, and quality for fastening applications.
What is a Pulse Tool?
A pulse tool combines the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch-based shut-off torque tool. It features precision-machined components housed in a sealed chamber filled with specialized hydraulic fluid. When the tool encounters resistance against the fastener, the fluid inside the rotating chamber generates hydraulic pressure, producing torque. Air power drives the spinning anvil, activating the pulse unit.
Key Advantages of Pulse Tools:
Productivity Benefits of Pulse Tools:
Pulse tools enhance productivity and improve product quality by offering precision torque control and user comfort. Lightweight pulse tools with increased torque capability are ideal for operators, enhancing cycle times with high-speed rundown. Pulse tools like the Flex Power series by Mountz Inc. feature innovative double chamber motors that swiftly reach the required torque, reducing friction and prolonging the lifespan of the pulse fluid.
Ergonomic Features of Pulse Tools:
The hydraulic fluid in pulse tools acts as a shock absorber, delivering a powerful, reactionless, and vibration-free operation. Crafted for quick rundown times, pulse tools minimize operator exposure to harmful impacts and vibrations, ensuring ergonomic safety. Models like Mountz FlexPower pulse tools prioritize operator comfort over the jarring effects of impact wrenches.
Durability of Pulse Tools:
Unlike impact wrenches with mechanical clutches or metal-to-metal hammering mechanisms, pulse tools are designed for longevity and durability. Their innovative design minimizes wear and tear, resulting in prolonged tool life and reduced maintenance costs.
In conclusion, precise torque control ensures product quality, safety, and reliability. Pulse tools offer a superior alternative to impact wrenches, providing accurate torque application and meeting the stringent requirements of the ISO 9001 Quality Standard.
