RAD TORQUE TOOLS

RAD Nut Runners are your solution for improving torque speed. RAD offer Battery Torque Wrenches, Electric Torque Wrenches and the Pneumatic Torque Wrench. RAD Pneumatic Torque Tools and RAD Pneumatic torque multipliers entered the world market over 10 years ago. Purpose built torque tools that are Lighter, Faster, Smaller and tougher than anything in the world. We invite you to test drive RAD torque Guns today.


Built in Canada, these air torque tools are, quiet, and offer 88 times less vibration than impact guns. RAD pneumatic torque nut runners can be used for opening large gate valves, with control over speed & load. The RAD Pneumatic Torque wrench are ideal for screwing pullers & wheel nuts both tightening and loosening bolting. The RAD pneumatic nut runner torque tools are non Impacting and provide an adjustable torque setting. Common mining tools include the RAD 1000 RAD 1400 RAD 1800 RAD 2000 and RAD 3000

Ask for a demo trial of the RAD on your application. RAD Air Torque multipliers, are ideal for wheel nuts and general engineering. These Air torque guns can be set via a regulator with a final torque accuracy of + or - 5%.  RAD torque Multipliers should be used with Impact Sockets. TJ Tools carry a large range. RAD torque multipliers can be used for driving Bearing Pullers at content speeds and loads. Popular RAD torque tool applications include Track Presses or master link bolts on Dozer Tracks, wheels on Loaders and Dump Trucks. RAD Tools can be specifically set up with nose extensions to suit Cat & Komatsu truck wheels.

RAD Distributors have access to spare parts, technical updates, training, service facilities and specialized calibration.

RAD TORQUE TOOLS IN THE FIELD


The RAD 50 tool offers from 1,500 to 5000 Ft lbs. This makes heavy Industrial bolt torqing easy. These nuts are 3" a/f and are torqued to 4,500 Ft lbs. This tool has a 1-1/2" Square Drive and provides up to 7 RPM.This application is a coal fired steam boiler press.

Like any other high pressure joint, correct torque is critical, to ensure even load across the flange.The torque output is set using a supplied torque chart. This chart has PSI and torque readings. Simply set the torque required by adjusting the regulator before operation.

BALL MILL LINER BOLTS TORQUE TOOLS
The RAD tools are the solution for this job. Liner bolts need the correct torque. Using rattle guns simply over, or under-tigtens bolts. The result is bolts failing.
RAD are High RPM torque tools. They offer torque accuracy to within 2% repeatability. By applying correct torque bolts stay tight. By not over-torquing, the bolts retain their integrity. Most Mills have hundreds of bolts. Re- liner shutdowns hold up production. Rad is the answer. 88 times less vibration 55% less db. fasteners reliable again. Less down time, Safe. Get the job done right the first time.See Video Liner Bolts RAD 50

RAD 700-2 Battery RAD torque tool This tool offers cordless operation using a 18 Volt battery. Exclusive to RAD the battery torque tools are proving a very popular option. Perfect for speeding up torque jobs in and out side the workshop.

TRUCK WHEELS
RAD is ideal for torqueing wheels Nuts on Loaders and Dump Trucks. RAD Tools are specifically set up with nose extensions to reach in past the planetary hubs. They suit Caterpillar, Komatsu, Terrex Etc. RAD provide many solutions for Wheel Nut re-torques. Often access to wheel nuts is restricted by hubs or the depth of the rim. The RAD unit replaces the need to swing on Hand Torque Wrenches during torque up. It also replaces the use of Rattle Guns which offer no measurable consistent torque accuracy.

CAT 785 & 789 Front Strut Tool
RAD offer the RAD 2000 tool for this tight application. We also offer a purpose designed reaction arm to permit a reaction onto the adjacent bolt. The webbing around the bolts makes access tricky and obtaining a secure reaction even more challenging. RAD have solved the problem.

The RAD 2000 offers 500-2000 Ft Lbs with a 1" Square Drive. Weight is only 5.8kg. This tool can easily be unutilized for other torque applications. The special arm is easily removed and the standard arm attached in minutes. This make its justification impressive.

KOMATSU 930E-1,2,3,4 Dump Truck Wheels - Pneumatic Torque Tool
Rad offer a specialized tool for these wheels. Special Reaction Arms are used to achieve push points. The tool has been set up to torque wheels on a Komatsu 930e Dump Trucks. See Video this tool.

komatsuAdditional Reaction plates attaches to the tool to do the rear wheels as the the rims are deeper. This unit has a 1" Drive and does 3,200 Ft Lbs. As used by Otraco Tyers The RAD tool offers simple solutions for applying torque to wheel nuts. Part No for this tool is: 49001

Rimex Wheels may require a different tool depending on the Komatsu Model. RAD Australia offer the following RAD Distributor outlets. RAD NSW RAD WA RAD SA RAD QLD RAD NT RAD VIC RAD Mackay RAD Perth RAD Brisbane RAD Sydney RAD Adelaide.

SPECIAL REACTION ARMS
RAD offer many types of reaction arms to enhance the tools usability. Long arms are common for jobs that are unable to secure a reaction using the standard arm. Applications like Mill Liner bolts, Dozer Tracks, Bridges, Crushers are some of these.


AIR REGULATOR & LUBRICATOR
Pneumatic torque tools use an Air / Lubro unit between the Tool and the air supply. These units provide 3 main functions. They have an adjustable air regulator which is used to set and control the final torque out.

The Lubricator supplies an automatic drip oil feed to the air motor. This ensures air motor longevity. The water trap helps trap water in the air.

SMALL & COMPACT
This photo helps demonstrate a size guide between the RAD models. The "7" indicates a 700 Ft Lbs tool and the "34" a 3,400 Ft Lbs tool.

Due to the RAD tools being so compact, you will note only small size increases. From the 700 to the 3400 tool there is a torque increase of over 300%. You can see however the 34 tool is not even twice its length.


How do Pneumatic Nut Runners work? The RAD pneumatic torque guns use compressed air to spin a air motors. Before the air reaches the motor an inline regulator and Oiler are used. The regulator reduces the Air Flow and pressure to a measured amount. This is how the torque output is controlled. The tool will stall, when the correct torque is achieved. The air motor drives a gear box to produce a multiplier effect. The tools operate in forward and reverse. Planetary gear systems are used to produce low ratios. This system achieves a smooth torque accuracy of +/ - 5% or better. This gives the operator a known torque output. As the nut tightens the resistance slows the tool until it stalls. At this point the torque is achieved. The tool is calibrated by a transducer to produce a torque chart. Readings are used from this to set the tool. EG: Set the regulator to 45psi air in, to achieve 1,600 Ft Lbs at the tool. Maximum Noise Levels from 50 to 85 db all Models.
