Tool for use in places with restricted access
A reaction arm mounting assembly comprises a first part and a second part, the first part being configured for attachment to a power tool and the second part is mounted on the first part. The mounting of the second part on the first part: permits sliding motion between the first and second part along an axis common to the first and second parts in a first sliding region and prevents rotation between the first and second member in the first sliding region; and permits rotation between the first and second members in a second sliding region.
TOOLS
An engagement part of a tool such as a hydraulic wrench (10), the engagement part (1) such as a ratchet link being arranged to engage a workpiece and a power head (11), the engagement part (1) being arranged to convert movement generated by the power head (11) into movement of the workpiece, the engagement part (1) comprising a mounting for the power head (4, 14), the mounting (4, 14) comprising a moveable portion moveable (4) from a first position where the power head (11) is fixed relative to the engagement part (1) and a second position where the power head (11) can move relative to the engagement part (1), the moveable portion (4) comprising a pin having a length and slidable along its length in a bore (17) in the engagement part (1) and a friction lock (2, 3) comprising a compressible member (3) and a compressing member (2) arranged to compress the compressible member (3), the compressible member (3) being arranged such that it expands in at least one extent on compression by the compressing member (2) such that in a locked position of the friction lock the compressible member (3) extends so as contact the pin (4) so as to restrict movement of the pin (4).
Hydraulic power system and method for controlling same
A system and method is provided for monitoring a hydraulic power system having at least one light emitter and a button. The method includes powering on the hydraulic power system, receiving an actuation at the button and detecting a release of the button after a first time interval, and entering a diagnostic state. The method further includes retrieving a code and displaying the code by turning on the emitter in a first pattern. In some embodiments, a system and method is provided for regulating a temperature of a hydraulic power system. In some embodiments, a system and method is provided for controlling operation of a hydraulic torque wrench.
Multiplex bolting tool
A torque wrench for multiple bolts or nuts comprises multiple drive spindles arranged annularly around a center and equipped or able to be equipped at the end with respective torque-applying tools, and a ratchet drive, associated with each drive spindle and driven by a hydraulic piston drive, for driving the drive spindles. The drive spindles are rotatably mounted and held in a drive block and have a drive portion at each end, which protrudes from the drive block. The drive sections of the drive spindles serve to bear the torque-applying tools on one side of the drive block, in which drive block the pistons of the piston drives are routed in cylinder housings, such that said pistons are translationally displaceable in both directions. The piston rods are kinematically connected to the ratchet lever for transferring a forward stroke movement and a return stroke movement to respective ratchet levers with pawls. The drive block has at least one fluid distribution cavity in its center area, into which open multiple fluid ducts located in the drive block, wherein a fluid connection between the fluid distribution cavity and a first fluid input of a cylinder housing is established by each fluid duct. A fluid distributor with an annular duct connected to a fluid supply duct is arranged on a flat side of the drive block as a fluid distribution cavity, into which multiple fluid ducts open, wherein a fluid connection between the fluid distribution cavity and a second fluid input of a cylinder housing is established by each fluid duct.
Torque-adjustable pneumatic tool
A torque-adjustable pneumatic tool comprises a body, a trigger assembly, and a torque-adjusting module. The body has an outlet tunnel. The trigger assembly is mounted to the body. The torque-adjusting module is mounted to the body, communicates with the outlet tunnel, and has a silencer, an adjusting bolt, and a piston lid. The silencer has a recess and an exhaust portion communicating with the recess. The exhaust portion has a threaded hole and at least one exhaust hole that are separately disposed through the exhaust portion. The adjusting bolt is movably mounted to the threaded hole of the silencer from a side away from the body, and engages with the silencer through threads. The piston lid is fixed to the adjusting bolt and is able to enter the recess.
APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND KITS FOR LOOSENING AND RETORQUING HYDRAULIC CYLINDER PISTON-RETAINING NUTS
