AVANTI HYTORC HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCH

AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench, AVANTI range technologies

Since the early 2000s, the AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench has been the most versatile tool for all high-stakes operations, as it also enables torque and angle mode tightening, with yield point detection using the appropriate HYTORC hydraulic pumps.

One-piece body and double-acting cylinder

The AVANTI hydraulic wrench is made with a one-piece aluminum alloy frame that contains the 700-bar double-acting cylinder and the mechanical drive part.

Anti-Return Device

The AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench features the Anti-Return System to ensure greater productivity in your tightening operations.

Indirect clutch release levers

The AVANTI wrench can find itself locked in stress on a bolt at the end of tightening due to the Anti-Return system so that it’s impossible to remove it to move on to the next bolt. For this situation, AVANTI wrenches are equipped with 2 indirect levers that can be operated without load, enabling the mechanism to be disengaged on a pressure pulse and the hydraulic wrench to be released without shock or effort.

Square drive

The AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench’s driving square is splined, and simply needs to be changed sides to switch from tightening to loosening. When there’s little space to pass the wrench through, it’s possible to replace the splined square drive with a direct socket.

2-axis hydraulic turret

The double swivel connection between the hydraulic wrench and the twin hoses is a very important point in terms of ergonomics and safety. Being able to freely position the AVANTI wrench with a 2-axis 360° x 180° swivel turret helps the operator to easily find the most suitable position for his operation. Hoses must not be pinched or twisted, so as not to jeopardize their integrity once under pressure.

Steerable Coaxial Reaction Arm

To create torque, the reaction arm is essential because otherwise the wrench turns around the bolt without producing any effort. You need to rely on a solid, fixed object to be able to develop torque, both when tightening and loosening. The AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench’s Coaxial Reaction system rethinks the idea of a reaction arm for a hydraulic wrench, as it enables the tool body to be positioned around the bolt regardless of the arm’s orientation. Grooves around the driver square allow both the reaction arm to be positioned against a fulcrum and the chassis to be oriented independently through 360°. If this possibility is essential for working on steel structures or mechanically welded structures with bolts close to multiple reinforcements it is highly appreciated by operators for all types of operations as they have better control over the configuration of the clamping system and can balance it to their liking.

Operation without reaction arm

The AVANTI hydraulic torque wrench can be used without its reaction arm to tighten to torque for greater operator safety (with HYTORC Z Washer or HYTORC Clamp NUT nuts. Tightening quality is also significantly improved with axial tightening, as no shear stress is introduced into the bolt.
