As bolted connections are the most common solution for dismountable fasteners, there are an infinite number of tightening situations.
The majority of these can be tightened and loosened with the standard hydraulic wrenches and torque wrenches, as the range of possibilities with the HYTORC tool range has been extended.
In other cases, the tool must be adapted with the design of a custom torque wrench to ensure safe use for the operators and the application while guaranteeing the quality of the tightening.
The realization of the special key consists in the majority of the cases in the change of the reaction arm but other simple modifications allow to treat the particular cases.
HYTORC has been designing hydraulic torque wrenches for more than 50 years and our range of wrenches is the widest on the market.
Nevertheless, the standard equipment is often complemented by accessories that already exist to tighten and loosen special assemblies.
Do not hesitate to contact us to know if there is not already an accessory in stock that could meet your needs.
You can send us sketches, plans, photos and even models of your applications and we will study with you the best possibilities among what already exists or what is needed.
We are at your disposal to come on site, see these particular applications and take measures if necessary.
In the ultimate case where a tool, accessory or part must be designed specifically for your application(s), we will agree on a specification with the constraints to be respected so that the hydraulic wrench or the torque screwdriver equipped corresponds to your needs.
We are able to model the principles of the solution quickly from our Bordeaux office, which is also in direct contact with the design office of the HYTORC factory in the USA for the final design.
We can also print 3D prototypes in Bordeaux of these accessories to better perceive the rendering of the product or even position it on the bolt in question and validate the proposed design before launching the realization.
Most of the time, a special hydraulic wrench or a custom torque wrench is a tool that has retained its standard chassis, but with specific external appendages such as the reaction arm of wrenches or screwdrivers, their square drive, the ratchet footprint of eyebolts or the hydraulic feed turret, all of which are custom-designed.
There are already a wide variety of reaction arms in stock to suit the bolt environment, some of which are even adjustable. Also, due to the diversity of nut and screw head shapes, non-hexagonal profile sockets or ratchets are possible and sometimes already in stock.
In order to limit the space required for square drive tools, we can design direct sockets that directly replace the square drive.
For the eye wrenches, we can make many accessories such as reducers, male/female stack sockets or square or special adapters to use them where other tools do not fit.
