Ingersoll Rand has solved the problem of over-tightening of wheel
nuts with the release of the 2130XP-TL Impactool.
According to Compressed Air and Power Solutions (CAPS) Australia,
official Ingersoll Rand distributor, over-tightening of wheel nuts is
a common problem with many impact air tools and can potentially
lead to studs being sheared off if too tight, or for wheels to fall off a
moving vehicle if the wheel nuts are too loose.
Torque-limited to a maximum of 75Nm, the 2130XP-TL has been
designed for high-volume tyre change applications. The limiter
prevents excessive torque being applied to the wheel and fasteners.
“
This type of limiter is new to the market at such a competitive
price,” Andrew McLean, Product Manager, Air Tools with CAPS said.
“
When used in conjunction with a torque wrench, the 2130XP-TL
simplifies fastening wheels to the correct torque, thus increasing
driver comfort and safety.
“
The 2130XP-TL impact wrench offers incredible power for its size,”
Andrew said.
“
The through-handle air exhaust reduces noise levels without
compromising best-in-class power performance.”
The new Impactool weighs less than 2kg, and can deliver up to
800
Nm of reverse torque.
The unit has an energy efficient air motor that minimises
compressed air usage reducing running costs.
The reverse-bias 6-vane air motor is housed in a lightweight,
ergonomically designed housing with a feather-touch trigger for
greater control, and a patented single-hand operated forward/reverse
switch.
The 2130XP-TL can deliver up to 1,150 impacts per minute using
Ingersoll Rand’s patented twin hammer impact mechanism, which
features an innovative steel wear plate to maximise operational life.
The design features an easy-to-clean inlet pre-screen that captures
debris and a modified grease fitting which simplifies maintenance
procedures.
