Torque reaction arms are ergonomic solutions to absorb the reaction torque generated by an electronic tool. They take the tool weight and torque out of the operators hands. Different types of reaction arms can be used for different assembly and safe work conditions. Applifast can supply an array of torque arms from 5Nm to 7500Nm, overheard, floor mounted or bench mounted to multi-spindle arms.

Assemblers, when using electronic fastening tools (screwdrivers, nutrunners) often experience a jerk and shock to the wrist when a fastener has been tightened. This sudden transfer of force is called torque reaction. Protecting operators and assemblers from torque reaction is a health and safety priority. There are several different types of devices: reaction bars, linear arms, articulating arms, torque tubes, and telescopic arms. Applifast can provide you the right solution for your fastening application.

With the 4th revolution of manufacturing upon us, fastening and assembly production efficiencies, quality assurance and health and safety is more evident then ever before. Applifast can work with you to customize a solution that is best suited for your product line or work station. From controller stands, socket trays to tool holders and different spindle heads, we are here to provide improved quality, reduced operator fatigue, and an ergonomic assembly enviroment.

Multi-spindles are used when time or space is limited, or where several fasteners have to be fastened or re-tightened simultaneously or cross wize. Multi-spindles are ideal for synchronizing the tightening strategies. They also reduce labour and improve productivity. Some common applications are: U-bolt systems, engine mount systems and wheels-on.
