    Pneumatic impact wrenches overview and specifications.

    Pneumatic impact wrench - a mechanical end tool that provides high torque by saving the energy of the rotating mass of flywheels (hammers) and thereby minimizing the effort of the master.

    Pneumatic wrenches are powered by compressed air, which is the most common power source for mechanical tools and differs from other sources in its cheapness and safety for humans.

    The applications for impact wrenches are almost limitless: they are widely used in the maintenance and repair of automobiles, industrial machinery, on assembly lines for a wide variety of products, on construction sites, and in any other case where high torque is required.

    Pneumatic impact wrenches are available in all standard socket sizes, from small 1/4" for light assembly and disassembly to 1" for most general construction applications. Impact wrenches are the most commonly used pneumatic tool and are found in almost every auto repair shop or machine shop.

    The principle of operation of a pneumatic impact wrench is based on the fact that during the operation of rotating masses (hammers), the entire structure of the mechanical engine inside the wrench is accelerated. According to the law of conservation of energy, it is transferred to the output shaft, creating a high torque. The impact mechanism of the tool is designed so that after the impact, the hammer rotates freely again. Thanks to this design, the force of inertia applied to the body of the wrench mechanism gives acceleration to the hammers, which in turn transmit it to the shaft, while the body of the tool experiences only minor loads, due to which a very small torque is felt on the handle, despite the very high torque on the shaft. output shaft. The process is similar to swinging an ordinary hammer with a small constant force and then bringing it down on an object with a very large amplitude. The energy in this case was accumulated over a long time, which then made it possible to issue a very strong but short pulse.

    The applications for impact wrenches are almost limitless: they are widely used in the maintenance and repair of automobiles, industrial machinery, on assembly lines for a wide variety of products, on construction sites, and in any other case where high torque is required.

    Compressed air is the most common power source for impact wrenches, providing the best power output to tool weight ratio. Usually, the mechanism of an impact wrench uses blades (lamellas) for spinning, which, as a rule, are from four to seven in the design. The mechanism is most often lubricated with air mixed with special air tool oil, although some designs use special lubrication channels built into the friction parts, as well as separate isolated lubrication systems for hammers.

    Most impact wrenches have the hammer located directly on the shaft, providing quick response when the job requires lesser torque. Another type of impact wrench uses a gear ratio system, most commonly a single stage planetary gear set paired with the heaviest hammer that develops a higher constant speed and higher rotational torque.

    Choosing a wrench for a car service and tire fitting

    A wrench is one of the most important tools in a car service and tire fitting. Even such a banal thing as changing wheels can turn into a real headache without this unit. A properly selected wrench will allow you to work quickly and without loss of quality. Let's take a closer look at how to find the right tool.
    Content
    • Wrench type
    • Selecting the seat square and tightening torque
    • Choice of wrench design
    • Characteristics worth paying attention to

    The first thing I want to dwell on is the type of wrench.

    The eternal question: pneumatic or electric? Although many do not like pneumatic tools. Nevertheless, in the case of a car repair shop, preference is usually given to them. There are a number of reasons for this

    As practice shows, electrics are much less reliable and durable than pneumatics. At a car service, the tool is constantly in operation, so the electric wrench is highly likely to quickly break from such loads. In pneumatics, there is nothing special to break. In addition, such tools do not heat up during use, because the body can be made of metal. And this also prolongs the life of the unit.

    It is also important to remember that the car repair tool must be powerful. It is much easier to achieve this from pneumatics, while the tool works without overloads. Of course, you can find a good powerful electric wrench, but it will cost much more.
    Someone will object that this is without taking into account the price for the compressor, but it is still needed at a car service. At least for a banal tire inflation. The main thing is that the compressor resource is enough for several tools at once.

    Another argument that is given in favor of electric wrenches is battery models. Indeed, it is often convenient to have a stand-alone tool, especially if you have to work in hard-to-reach places. The problem is that a cordless wrench is hard to make powerful. Most likely, for a car service, it will be rather weak. In addition, the tool will drain quickly, so you will need to have several spare batteries at once.

    Thus, it is better to take pneumatics for car service and tire fitting. It makes sense to use an electric wrench only as an additional tool for working in hard-to-reach places.

    Now let's talk about what kind of machines you are going to work with. This determines the characteristics of a suitable tool. We are interested in the landing square and the moment of tightening:

    cars

    Landing square: 1/2 inch
    Puffing moment: 800-1000 Nm

    Low-bearing trucks
    Planting square: 3/4 Duema
    Tightening torque: 1200-1500 Nm

    Large trucks

    Square: 1 in.
    Torque: 2400-3000 Nm

    Higher torque is required only for the largest machines.

    With regard to the design of the wrench, each version has its own characteristics:

    Straight

    Standard pistol shape.
    The wrench is more comfortable to hold horizontally, so for standard tasks like loosening wheels it is better to take it. In addition, such a tool has more torque.

    Angle

    The so-called ratchet.
    Has an elongated body, at the end of which the spindle is located at an angle of 90 degrees. Thanks to this design, it becomes more convenient to work in hard-to-reach places.

    There are a number of other characteristics that you should pay attention to when choosing a wrench for a car service.

    It is highly desirable that the tool has an impact mechanism. Often you have to work with rusty, stuck and simply tight fasteners. An impact wrench handles them easily without damaging the bolt or nut.

    Also, the tool must have a reverse , because the part must not only be unscrewed, but also then screwed back.
