Applications

Torque arms are used for assistance when operating hand held tools such as screwdrivers and nutrunners. The torque arms in the SMC series have a large working range, are easy to position and handle. They are designed for heavy duty operations over a long period of time. The torque arms makes assembly more stable and reduces wear on accessories like bits and taps. It is recommended to use the SMC series of torque arms together with a balancer.

The torque arms reduces the strain on the operators arm, wrist and shoulder by reducing vibration, torque and weight during repeated actions. Even small amounts of repeated actions can lead to repetitive strain injury.

Installing the SMC torque arms in trolley and rail systems

Do not modify the torque arm or the torque arm attachment. The installed torque arm must be able to swivel in all directions.

Installing the torque arm

The tool torque should not exceed the specified torque range of each specific arm.

The angle of tool holder attachment, ω, is limited to 0° at SMC Posi 3 to achieve proper accuracy for positioning.

Mounting on a ceiling

• Put the mounting point straight above, or as close as possible to, the point where the torque is applied.

• Make sure that the fixation point can handle the weight and the torque of the chosen torque arm.

• Attach the safety wire (see Spare Parts) to a second point that does not limit the working area.
