Atlas Copco GTB10 1" Hydraulic Torque Wrench Alternative

Product Features:

The core feature of the GTB10 is its"controlled power."It not only delivers up to 5800 ft-lb of torque but,more importantly,offers exceptional torque repeatability(typically up to±5%).This is achieved through its precise speed control valve and stable pneumatic motor design,allowing the operator to accurately control output torque by adjusting air pressure.The tool incorporates an efficient silencer that significantly reduces operating noise.Its user-friendly design includes a well-balanced handle and a clear torque chart decal.Some high-end models can even be equipped with a torque sensor interface for data recording and traceability,meeting the strict quality control requirements of industries like nuclear power and aerospace.

Product Specifications:

The GTB10's specifications are at the top end of pneumatic wrenches.Maximum torque is as high as 5800 ft-lb(approx.7860 Nm),with a free speed of about 3000 RPM.To power such a robust tool,its air inlet is 1/2"NPT,requiring large-diameter air supply lines and a high-flow air compressor,with average consumption around 20 CFM.The tool weighs about 13.5 kg and often requires use with a balancer to reduce operator fatigue.The working air pressure range is wide,adjustable from 60-120 PSI,enabling fine control of output torque.Its characteristic of low speed and high torque also avoids high-speed impact damage to the bolt and workpiece surface during tightening.

Product Applications:

The GTB10 is used in critical sectors where safety and reliability are paramount.In the wind power industry,it tightens the massive bolts on wind turbine tower flanges,ensuring uniform and reliable connections.In the petrochemical industry,it is used for the installation and maintenance of reactors,columns,and high-pressure pipeline flanges.In large infrastructure projects,it is used for fastening nodal bolts in steel structure bridges and skyscrapers.Furthermore,in shipbuilding and heavy machinery manufacturing,it is used for the final tightening of core components like engine foundations and large gearboxes.Its precise torque control ensures assembly quality,preventing equipment failure caused by over or under-tightening.
