ALTERNATIVES TO PNEUMATIC IMPACT GUNS - Smoother!!
(OP)
Hello,
Currently I'm working on a project at my work and I in need of a pneumatically powered torque device similar to that of an impact gun. The reason I don't want to use an impact gun is because it decreases the life of the bolt and hub threads. Is there anything out there that has smoother tightening characteristics and can still tighten to 200 ft lbs?
THANKS!!!

I can't find much literature on impulse wrenches. Is there a reasonable justification for why an impulse wrench would provide a smoother tightening than impact guns?

Is a pneumatic nut runner in this same category? I need something that I can trust relative to torque application over time but does not damage the threads as much as a impact gun.
Will a standard torque wrench fit my needs in this concern?
THANKS!

Nut runners are generally motor-driven gear sets with the final drive to the output. Higher output nut runners will require a reaction arm instead of depending on the operator to resist the torque. Run up to tight is slower than an impact wrench. Accuracy is more dependable than an impact wrench.
