Understanding Pulse Tools

 

Imagine...Virtually every solution for all your fastening requirements!


PRODUCTIVITY
  • High speed rundown, reducing fastening time
  • One hand operation freeing the other for productive use
  • Less fatigue and increased productivity
ERGONOMICS
  • Virtually no reaction impulse during and after fastener rundown
  • Fast rundown reducing operator exposure
  • High power-to-weight ratio
  • Low vibration and noise level
RELIABILITY
  • No mechanical clutch or hard part engagement for low maintenance and longer life
  • Automatic shut-off series is self-diagnostic
  • Extended socket and extension life
QUALITY
  • Extremely accurate on properly designed joints
  • Excellent clamp force repeatability
  • Torque monitoring and fastening counter available for on-line verification
  • Electronic control and monitoring available for performance verification

  RELIABILITY
Because of the AcraPulse Series' pulse mechanism vs. the conventional metal-to-metal manner mechanism of the standard impact or gear & clutch driven nutrunner, the AcraPulse Series offers exceptional life and low maintenance.

Torque and Tension
Most joints are assembled to specification that are determined by torque or tension (clamp load) requirements. Torque is torque regardless of the tool type used. However, tension has completely different characteristics and behavior.
Gear driven tools apply constant turning force to seat the fastener -- much line winding up a rubber band. Problems can occur with joint alignment during rundown and joint relaxation after fastening or during product use.
Pulse tools apply power in a series of pulses in a typical rundown. This pulsing allows the joint to, in a sense, relax between pulses during final tightening and there is a closer relationship between dynamic and static tension, providing the user with more consistent, secure tightening.
