TORQUE MULTIPLIER

Literature

Features

• Capacities to 4000 ft.-lbs. or metric equivalent.
• Multipliers can be used in any unit of measure, depending on the wrench.
• Reaction bar keeps gear box from turning.
• Gear train within multiplier has natural frictional loss. For normal requirements, a loss factor of 10% to 20% may be used.
As noted above, there is frictional loss in output torque due to the gears. As a result of the frictional loss, we recommend our Exacta 2, (1% Indicated Value) or our M-Series Flat Beam wrenches (2% Indicated Value).
The frectional loss has a significant impact on torque accuracy when compared with using only a torque wrench. Using a more accurate torque wrench reduces the torque output variable.
