Product advantages
Planetary gear driven wrenches, as opposed to conventional torque tools, have the advantage of continuous rotation while applying controlled torque.
Innovation
RAD’s ongoing investment in R&D ensures that RAD Torque Systems will continue to lead the bolting industry with RAD innovations such as the famous E-RAD, our battery tools and the smart torque transducers.
RAD believes that innovation drives performance. Examples are: the E-RAD, the digital battery torque wrenches and the Smart Socket™.
A range of torque wrenches producing torques from 35 up to 16.500 Nm
Pneumatic torque wrenches in the GX and DX series are the most robust tools available and represent RAD’s ‘coming of age’. Torque range from 35 Nm to 15.000 Nm.
The MV-RAD series electric torque wrench feature an angle function as standard, as well as a torque range from 65 Nm to 11.000 Nm.
The electronic E-RAD with AC Servo motor technology is the flagship model, the king of torque wrenches. These electronic torque wrenches come with data storage, double forced cooling, angle function, and fine accuracy as standard. The torque range for this series is 135 Nm to 16.500 Nm.
Interested in buying a professional torque wrench? Here are some things to look out for
- If your business is considering buying a new torque wrench, or several, it’s very important to recognize the differences between the different types available.
- The most familiar is the manual torque wrench, commonly used by professionals such as tyre specialists. The mechanic will start by tightening the wheel bolts with an impact wrench, and then finish the job with a manual torque wrench.
- The hydraulic torque wrench is also very common, where you have a pump which powers a cassette or impact socket. The benefit of this type is the power that is available, but the drawback is the slow speed at which they work and the difficulty in operating them.
- RAD torque wrenches are always based on a torque multiplier, which is driven by a motor (battery, electric, or pneumatic).
- The benefits are compact dimensions, ease of operation, lower price tag, and much higher speed when compared to hydraulic torque wrenches. In addition, the torque (in Nm) can, on most models, be adjusted directly.
A specialist in torque wrenches for almost 30 years
Since its establishment almost 30 years ago, RAD has specialized entirely in the design and continuous development of torque multipliers, resulting in the optimal combination of compact dimensions and reliability available.
It’s understandable then why all major industrial hiring firms in the Netherlands have switched over to RAD wrenches. The majority of RAD torque wrench types are available for hire.
