Pinpoint Precision - new Enerpac Portable BTW-Series Battery Torque Wrench
Industrial tools specialist, Enerpac, announces its most precise and fastest set-up battery-powered, torque wrench so far. The new BTW-Series Battery Torque Wrench allows operators to quickly move between bolting jobs, while achieving pinpoint torquing precision, thanks the most comprehensive pre-programming and calibration process of any battery torque wrench in the world, the company claims.
Weighing from just 4.7 kgs including reaction arm and battery, the BTW-Series is equipped with an integrated digital motor vectoring system delivering accurate and repeatable torque up to 8130 Nm. Available for ¾” - 1 ½” square drive sizes, the BTW-Series Torque Wrench can be used for most bolting scenarios, providing a versatile solution, no matter the industry.
Compared with conventional bolting operations that demand multiple operators, along with air or electric-powered hydraulic pumps, hoses, and torque wrenches, the BTW-Series requires just a single operator. Ease of use and compact, handheld, battery-powered design makes it ideal for difficult to reach applications or where physical space is limited. By streamlining bolting workflow, the BTW-Series has the potential to double the productivity of two-man bolting teams.
Portable, compact, pinpoint precision
To achieve pinpoint torquing precision, Enerpac puts every BTW-Series Torque Wrench through a 60 point calibration process - far beyond the standard 7 points of competing products. As a result, BTW-Series Torque Wrenches achieve a +/- 5% accuracy across their entire operational range. Using the tool’s intuitive LCD display, the required torque in Nm or ft.lbs is set at the touch of a button.
The BTW-Series is supplied as standard with two Enerpac 18v 5.5 Ah Lithium-ion batteries and a 60-minute fast-charger, enabling high-efficiency brushless motor bolting applications, even in remote or hard-to-reach areas. For added flexibility, the BTW-Series Torque Wrench will work with any compatible Cordless Alliance System (CAS) battery.
The BTW-Series also features an anti-slip pistol grip and a trigger for sturdy control and operator comfort. As well as a low maintenance brushless motor that run cooler and maximises productivity, the torque wrench uses a patented planetary gear with optimum tooth design for smooth and consistent torque. The BTW-Series is also constructed with a hardened alloy steel to withstand the elevated levels of torque. A robust reaction arm provides a strong reaction point when torquing.
“Enerpac’s new BTW-Series raises the bar for precision and simplicity with battery powered torque wrenches,” says Jon Bice, Bolting Product Specialist – Americas, Enerpac.
“We’ve listened to the market feedback and designed our new battery torque wrench to be safe, straight-forward and easy-to-use, while providing advanced precision of set-torque accuracy to +/- 5%.”
