ATP – The World’s Most Extensive Line of Super Duty Impact Tools & Impact Sockets
Impact tools provide rotary motion from an air motor to an impact mechanism, delivering a series of impacting blows to apply torque to a threaded fastener.
Impact tools do not transmit torque reaction back to the operator enabling fasteners to be safely tightened to high torque values. Torque output is determined by the size of the tool, air pressure and SCFM, and the length of time the tool is impacting on the fastener.
Impact Tool Applications
Impact tools are used in applications in refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation plants, railroads, paper mills, heavy off-road equipment repair, mining, steel mills, steel fabrication and structural steel erection.
ATP Impact Mechanism / Clutch Basics Twin Hammer:
Twin hammers strike balanced blows for more torque per pound than other mechanism designs. This simplified design performs well on both hard and soft draw applications, is less sensitive to air pressure changes, and has lower cost of maintenance.
Ball and Cam:
The precision ball and cam mechanism used in larger high output impact tools delivers powerful rotary impacts for for high output and durability, and is ideal for both hard and soft draw applications.
Two Jaw:
The two jaw clutch delivers high energy per blow torque output with a
high power to weight ratio. Excellent choice for tough MRO and assembly applications. Very good on soft and hard draw applications.
