SURGICAL DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DRIVING AN IMPLANT AND APPLYING COUNTER TORQUE
20180009092 · 2018-01-11 · ·

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for driving an implant and applying counter torque. For example, a driver can include a handle, a driver shaft, and a counter torque shaft, the counter torque shaft being laterally offset from the driver shaft. A distal end of each shaft can mate with a specific type of implant and/or anatomy. The shafts can be removed and replaced from the device, allowing a user to select shafts having particular lengths and/or mating tips. In use, distal ends of the shafts can be fixed or constrained relative to one another and to an implant such that the counter torque shaft cannot orbit around the driver shaft. Rotating the handle can rotate the driver shaft, driving the implant. This can cause the counter torque shaft to try to orbit around the driver shaft, but the fixed/constrained ends restrict this motion, applying the counter torque.

Safe/fast locking/unlocking tool for engine torsion vibration damper

A tool for locking/unlocking a torsional vibration damper screw to/from a crank shaft of an engine includes an elongated tool body having a first end and a second end. The first end of the tool body includes a pair of engagement pins sized and spaced for engaging a pair of apertures in the torsional vibration damper. The second end of the tool body includes an aperture for receiving a fastener for engaging the second end to a mounting location on the engine. A spacer element can be utilized for mounting the second end of the tool body to the engine mounting location.

Torque reaction tools and methods for use

An example torque reaction tool includes a first arm having an end with a longitudinally extending cavity, and an opposite end with a first socket drive element disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cavity. The torque reaction tool further includes a second arm having an end portion slidably disposed within the cavity, and an opposite end with a second socket drive element thereon, oriented in the same direction as the first socket drive element. The torque reaction tool further includes a first fastener, disposed in a first threaded hole in the first arm that extends into the cavity, the first fastener being adjustable to engage the end portion of the second arm to restrict sliding movement of the second arm relative to the first arm.

Tool for attaching and detaching rotary body and method for attaching and detaching rotary body

An attaching and detaching tool for removing a flywheel connected to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine using a nut, in which the flywheel is removed by pulling the flywheel with an axial force generated in the nut when the nut is loosened, is provided. A socket wrench is coupled to a nut connected to a crankshaft and a flywheel is coupled to a puller assembled to the socket wrench via a bolt, and then the socket wrench is rotated while the rotation of the puller is stopped by a spinner handle, whereby the nut is loosened and the flywheel is removed.

Slippage free compact reaction washer based actuation and reaction torque transfer system with lock-on capability
11473613 · 2022-10-18 ·

A reaction washer is optimized for lock-on, optional stiction ring and for a predetermined indentation depth of bidirectional serrations for secure reaction torque transfer during initial and full actuation of respective nut or bolt heads resting on it. An optional lock-on ring embedded around the reaction socket is ergonomically actuated to latch on and off underneath the reaction washer. Axial offset of the peak stress areas away from the actuation socket edges provides for reduced actuation socket diameter and consequently for the entire tool and system remaining substantially within radial assembly limits established for prior art actuation sockets alone. A coupling unit is attached to and tightened on a power torque wrench via a clamp tool utilizing the power wrench's own torque. A hand hold groove and a lock able snap release button offset from the coupling castle snap connection contribute to safe and ergonomic operation and system peak performance.

APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND KITS FOR LOOSENING AND RETORQUING HYDRAULIC CYLINDER PISTON-RETAINING NUTS
20230123076 · 2023-04-20 ·

The present disclosure generally relates to apparatus, systems, and kits of parts for knock-down heavy-duty transportable torque tool assemblies capable of onsite field-servicing of high-pressure heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders used in heavy-duty construction equipment and industrial machinery. The embodiments disclosed herein pertain to assemblies comprising modular knock-down components that may be mounted onto the bed of a field service truck and configured as needed to provide loosening and retorquing of piston-retaining nuts.

SLEEVE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRIC TOOL
20230158643 · 2023-05-25 ·

A sleeve assembly and an electric tool are provided. The sleeve assembly includes a sleeve defining a receiving cavity recessed backward from a first end face of the sleeve. The nut is received in the receiving cavity. The sleeve assembly also includes a pull rod assembly arranged in the receiving cavity. The pull rod assembly includes a pull rod extending along a central axis of the sleeve, a pulling component arranged at one end of the pull rod, and a bearing arranged at another end of the pull rod opposite to the pulling component. The pull rod is connected to an inner wall of the sleeve through the bearing, and the pull rod is rotatable relative to the sleeve. In response to the sleeve assembly screwing the nut, the pulling component is configured to drive the bolt to be attached to a surface of the to-be-fixed component.

TOOL ARRANGEMENT FOR APPLICATION AND/OR RELEASE OF NUT TYPE FASTENERS

Methods and devices for providing a threaded male member for a fastening arrangement are disclosed. The threaded male member can include at least one reaction portion at or towards at least one respective end of the threaded male member for use in reacting applied torque during tightening or releasing an associated nut of the fastening arrangement. The at least one reaction portion can be a permanent feature of the threaded male member and can remain part of the threaded male member after said tightening to a target torque.

Apparatus and method for remote fastener installation

A tool configured to install and torque multiple fasteners, such as nuts and/or bolts, positioned in confined and/or hard to reach areas. The tool includes a body portion, a plurality of fastener retainers, and a structure which permits both the remote tightening and torquing of such fasteners. The tool also provides an actuator for the remote release of torque loads which may build up in the fastener retainers during such torquing of the fasteners. The actuator includes a lever arm pivotally connected to the body portion and a cam that is rotatable between a first position and a second position. A linkage is engaged by the cam and urges the lever arm to a torquing position upon the cam being in the first position and to a torque release position upon the cam being in the second position.
