Industrial users of large threaded fasteners have historically faced two problems: the need for bolts to be fastened tightly enough to prevent movement of parts to achieve a good seal against leaks, without over-stressing; and the removal of nuts after long periods of exposure to heat and/or atmospheric corrosion. Early attempts at solving these problems utilized long lever arms and heavy hammers on slugging wrenches, but these

methods were only partially effective and frequently  dangerous. Impact wrenches represented an improvement, but do not satisfy torque-control needs. In addition, they are extremely noisy and uncomfortable to use, causing worker fatigue and numbness of the hands and arms. Other tools such as large torque wrenches and multipliers, are effective, but lack speed and require significant physical effort.

     Mountz Eliminator &  hand multipliers are commonly used in the petrochemical, power generation, shipping and maintenance industries. They enable operators to accurately tighten or loosen the toughest bolts with complete safety. Anti windup ratchets are available to reduce the amount of physical effort required to safely tighten a bolt.

    Mountz ELIMINATOR torque multipliers are available in pneumatic and electric models. Torque multipliers are the ideal solution for true torque control, speed, power, physical ease, silence and safety. The ELIMINATOR of pneumatic torque wrenches has been developed to meet these requirements. All models provide safe, economical and smooth operation. They replace impact wrenches, pipe extensions and other inadequate and sometimes unsafe fastening methods. The pneumatic radial models are ideally suited for plate type heat exchange applications.

      The ELIMINATOR pneumatic wrench consists of a powerful, eccentric van, reversible air motor, driving three or more stages of epicyclic gearing. Each gear stage reduces the output speed and proportionally increases the torque. As the torque increases, it is necessary to fit progressively heavier gearing to transmit the high forces generated, creating the familiar stepped outline of the larger tools. The resulting output is smooth and continuous with no damaging impacting.

     Stalling- The tool is in a stalled condition when the nut ceases to rotate even though the air supply is connected and the motor control is in the "ON" position. In effect, the increasing resistance to turning by the bolt, transmitted through the gears, has balanced the force exerted by the compressed air against the motor vanes. Increase the air pressure and the nut will begin to turn until equilibrium is again achieved.

     LUBRO- CONTROL UNIT (LCU) (06-0005)- This unit is designed to provide a controlled supply of filtered, regulated, and lubricated compressed air to the tool.
