Torque wrenches are precision bolting tools that replace manual spanners in specialized manufacturing and engineering operations. They apply a specific torque to a nut or bolt to either tighten or loosen it.

Powered by hydraulic energy delivered by the equally capable SPX PE45 Torque Wrench Pump, SPX Flow’s line of wrenches ensures an extremely tight fit. These wrenches are perfect for the gas and oil industry where even the lightest of leaks can cause major losses as well as safety risks.

Power Team torque wrenches are engineered to conform to the highest standards, ensuring reliable, long service. Though intentionally made to be a compact size, the wrenches have high torsional strength and can handle most bolting tasks. The TWLC: Low Clearance Torque Wrench, in particular, is extremely compact, allowing use in very tight spaces.

Other notable features of the SPX Flow’s line of torque wrenches include:

Features and special qualities

• The multi-directional manifold that ensures ease of use.

• Enclosed drive mechanism provides for safe operation that puts operators at ease.

• Better operator control over the pressure hose, thanks to the multi-swivel manifold.

• A relief valve on the swivel manifold, which prevents over-pressurization resulting from side retraction.

• Fine tooth pawl that prevents self-locking.

• A corrosion-resistant, steel body construction guarantees durability and long service.

How to choose the torque wrench for your operation?

SPX Flow’s line of torque and designed for long service life, which is one of the first qualities you will look for when considering your shopping options. But there are factors you will have to consider:

• Nature of application. Torque wrenches come in different sizes. There are some that are designed with slim bodies to fit in very tight spaces. If your application has a space limitation, be sure to choose the right sized wrench from those available in the SPX Flow range.

• Pump and torque wrench combination. There are some bolting tasks for which a super tight fit isn’t too important, and others where it is absolutely critical. Ensure the pump you intend to use with the wrench can give you the hydraulic pressure your application requires.
