New Handtorque™ Range From Norbar Torque Tools Helps Out Customers in A Tight Spot

Inaccessible fasteners can often only be reached using improvised tools which lack any kind calibration or verifiable accuracy. But, thanks to the new Handtorque™ range from Norbar Tool Tools, limited access no longer means limited accuracy.

The Handtorque HT-52 is the world's smallest 1,000Nm torque multiplier, designed to deliver superb accuracy where access is impossible using a conventional torque wrench or bulky torque multipliers.

It offers the same calibrated performance that users expect from Norbar Torque Tools' products, but in a compact and durable unit that allows fasteners with limited access to be tightened with a guaranteed multiplication accuracy better than ±4%.

For maximum versatility the Handtorque HT-52 is fully compatible with manual torque wrenches or with torque-controlled angle nut runners.

Alongside the new HT-52, Norbar has enhanced its existing 2,000Nm multiplier. The new upgraded multiplier, now known as the HT-72, is based around the same weight saving design as the HT-52.

But by replacing the steel reaction plate with tool-grade aluminium, Norbar have reduced the weight of the HT-72 by over 1kg, making it 25% lighter than its predecessor. The HT-72 can be fitted with electronic torque transducers for precision torque monitoring and it is available in a variety of ratios, output drive sizes and reaction styles.

Smaller, lighter and allowing better access, the new Handtorque range ensures that Norbar Torque Tools' customers will never be stuck in a corner when it comes to the accurate tightening of restricted access fasteners.
