HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCH MXT HYTORC

MXT hydraulic torque wrench, MXT / XLT range technologies

One-piece chassis and double-acting tool

The frame of the MXT hydraulic wrench is made of a single piece to guarantee its robustness and resistance over time. This one-piece chassis incorporates a 700 bar double-acting cylinder to develop the torque.

Anti-Return Mechanism

The MXT hydraulic torque wrench (and XLT models) incorporates the Anti-Return System for greater efficiency in each cylinder cycle.

Clutch release levers

If the tightening is completed at the end of the wrench’s piston stroke, the torsion accumulated in the bolt may try to pull the sleeve and therefore the ratchet back, while the Anti-Return system prevents it. The key is thus locked on the bolt. The MXT and XLT wrenches are equipped with 2 levers that allow the mechanism to be disengaged and the tool to be released without effort.

Square Fluted Drive Conductor

The MXT hydraulic wrench (and XLT models) has a square drive spline to transmit torque between the wrench and the socket. It can therefore be replaced by a direct splined sleeve in applications with limited space.

2 axis hydraulic turret

The hydraulic torque wrench is powered by a set of twin hoses and to provide good tool positioning conditions for the operator, the MXT wrench is equipped with a 2-axis 360° x 180° hydraulic turret. This double swivel connection allows the operator to work in better conditions and without damaging or bending the 700 bar hydraulic hoses.

Swivel Reaction Arm

On the MXT hydraulic torque wrench the adjustable reaction arm rotates 360° with a locking trigger. The arm is the part of the wrench that provides a critical fulcrum for creating torque. The orientation of the reaction arm is decisive in order to be able to rest on a solid and fixed object, both when tightening and loosening. A spring-loaded locking lever makes it easy to disengage the arm and reposition it as correctly as possible and very quickly.

XLT specific features

The keys in the range that have kept the XLT name have 3 notable differences from the MXTs:

• Angular frame design but the hydraulic cylinder and drive mechanics are identical to the MXT
• Reaction arm locked by mobile latch positioned under the frame (or quick nut for model 8)
• Hydraulic turret with 360° rotation on a single axis

MXT Specific Design

The MXT series is distinguished by its blue anodized color and its rounded shape that favors ergonomics for the operator on his workstation or site.
