Screw tightening machine

Screw tightening machine

The screw tightening machine is used to turn the screws in a nut or bolt. This simple tool can help workers save time, reduce fatigue, prevent injury, and avoid being burned by hot screws. Unlike manual bolt turning tools that use power drills that create sparks when cutting into steel or aluminum nuts or bolts, this tool uses a powerful magnet to pull the nut/bolt onto the screw-turning side of the tool where it grips and turns without any contact with metal parts. Depending on how well screwed in your equipment is to its respective fastener, you'll notice up to 30% faster throughput when using these tools instead of manually turning each screw.

Screw tightening machines can screw in nuts or fasteners that are too large to fit into the jaws of a similar tool

1. Turn the handle clockwise until tight. One to three turns will be sufficient for most applications. Do not over tighten as this can strip the screw and cause it to loosen up and fall out.

The machine is used on nuts and bolts with threads (such as screws, bolts, and rivets), and generally has a range of 7 to 11 mm (0.3 to 0.4 inches). It is equipped with a gripping mechanism which is placed over the nut and screw and then tightened. It does not require electricity and is low maintenance, making it useful on construction sites and on ships.

Materials: It is made of steel and aluminum

Some models come with a standard one-size-fits all on / off switch, or require an on / off switch to be swapped out for use in different countries. Using the machine as a screwdriver causes accelerated wear on the parts of the device, so it should be used for this purpose sparingly. The manufacturer recommends that the device only be used to tighten screws up to 11 mm (0.4 inches) in diameter; it should not be used to loosen screws of different power ratings are available, including hand held screw tightening tools with varying power of 0.45 horsepower (0.30 kW), 1 horsepower (0.75 kW) and 2 horsepower (1.5 kW). A handheld screw tightening machine must be used by applying downward pressure to the tool even as it is operated. These machines will not work by simply holding or resting on a surface and need continuous operator handling and control for proper operation of the tool. They usually weigh.
