Mountz Inc. has released insulated torque wrenches that the company says are designed with non-conductive plastic insulation to provide operators with the proper safety for fastening applications. The insulated torque wrenches ensure torque control and eliminate the possibility of product failure due to shorting, arcing or other electrical damage, according to the company.
Mountz features two styles of insulated torque wrenches. The 1000 V wrenches are built to protect against voltages up to 1,000 v, making these torque tools ideal for use in electrically live situations for a wide range of industries. The 50 V insulated torque wrenches are crafted for low-voltage applications and are designed for use in uninterrupted power supply and other battery applications where protection against up to 50 V is required.
The 1000 V wrenches are available in cam-over wrench models as well as click wrench models. The design action of the cam-over torque wrench is such that when the tool reaches its preset torque value, the mechanism disengages from the drive, thus limiting the torque applied.
The click wrench models are externally adjustable tools available with 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch square drive configurations.
