Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A hydraulic wrench is a high-powered, precision tool used to apply controlled torque to fasteners, such as bolts and nuts, in industrial applications. Unlike manual or pneumatic wrenches, a hydraulic wrench uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to drive a piston, which then turns a ratcheting mechanism connected to a drive or hex link. This allows for exceptionally high torque output with precise, repeatable accuracy — often required in industries like oil and gas, power generation, wind energy, and heavy construction.
TorqLite’s hydraulic torque wrenches are calibrated to deliver exact torque specifications within ±3% accuracy, making them essential for applications where improper bolt tension could lead to safety hazards, equipment failure, or operational downtime.
TorqLite manufactures a comprehensive range of hydraulic wrenches and industrial torque wrenches designed to meet the demands of various industries and applications. Our product line includes:
- IU-XL Series Low Clearance Hydraulic Wrenches for tight-space bolting
- SU-XL Series Square Drive Torque Wrenches for general-purpose industrial use
- JN Series Jam Nut Wrenches for power generation and hydraulic systems
- RT Series Riser Tools including the automated Robo-Spider™ for riser bolting
- HU Tool Hammer Union Wrenches for oilfield operations
- Bolt Tensioners for both topside and subsea bolting projects
- Hydraulic Power Consoles and Pumps for powering all torque tools
- Backup Wrenches, Sockets, Nut Cutters, and Accessories
Each of these tools is designed with durability, safety, and accuracy in mind, and all come with NIST-traceable calibration certificates.
Choosing the correct hydraulic torque wrench depends on several critical factors:
- Torque Requirement: Determine the maximum and minimum torque needed for your fasteners.
- Clearance Constraints: Assess the available space around the bolt. For tight spaces, a low clearance hydraulic wrench like the IU-XL Series is ideal.
- Drive Type: Decide between square drive wrenches for versatility and hex link wrenches for low-profile applications.
- Application Environment: Consider environmental factors like subsea, offshore, or hazardous conditions, which may require specialized coatings or corrosion-resistant designs.
- Power Source: Ensure compatibility between your torque tool and hydraulic power console, available in electric, air or manual configurations.
TorqLite’s experienced technical team can assist you in selecting the right industrial torque wrench and accessory package tailored to your specific jobsite and operational requirements.
