Torque Reaction

Features/Benefits
  • Air Bias Support System Air Adjustment by mini-regulator with air cylinder, for proper positioning of different size tools. Eliminates the clumsy spring adjustment of competitive models. Tool positioning is effortless.
  • Parallel Arm Torque Absorber Absorbs torque reaction up to 120 in. lbs. Increases torque repeatability through shift changes by reducing operator influence on fastener. Keeps tools off the floor.
  • Steel & Aluminum Construction Anodized finish Lightweight Heavy duty for high volume production Corrosion resistant.
  • Auto-Orientation System Tool fixture is designed to allow constant perpendicular orientation of the tool, which ensures proper fastener alignment.

Just as the name indicates, the new IR Zimmerman E-Z Torque® has taken the struggle out of using hand-held torque tools.

The lightweight E-Z Torque has been coupled with our 50 pound Balancer to provide the most innovative power tool assist system available today. Ease of operation eliminates operator fatigue problems, fights carpal tunnel syndrome and brings added safety to the workstation.  E-Z Torque has been engineered to absorb the pounding reaction of air-powered or electric-driven torque tools. Constructed of cast aluminum and steel with ball bearing rollers and a 48 inch (1219.2 mm) vertical travel, the E-Z Torque eliminates spring pull back and maintains tool position with no problem.

Features:
  • Lightweight torque tool assist
  • Ease of operation
  • Reduces operator fatigue
  • Aluminum and steel construction
  • Adjustable to fit any tool

We at IR Zimmerman support our tool product line with ergonomic torque reaction and tool suspension products to assist in reducing operator fatigue. Our products relieve the operator of tool weight and torque resulting in productivity. These products also help prevent the long-term damaging effects of torque reaction on the human body, resulting in lower workers compensation and health care costs.

Our torque tubes allow tools to be lifted, lowered, moved and brought into optimum working position with minimal force required by the operator. Whether the products are used alone or integrated into a larger "turnkey" system, the smooth and effortless vertical motion will be the perfect solution for various operators.The availability of various sizes and the modularity of design allows System Integrators to use individual component parts without having to purchase complete units.
