BOSS Hydraulics Torque wrench pumps are specialised devices used to power hydraulic torque wrenches,  to apply precise torque to fasteners such as nuts and bolts. Here’s how they function and their typical applications:

HOW DO THEY WORK?

1. Hydraulic Power Source:
   • Torque wrench pumps generate hydraulic pressure to drive the hydraulic torque wrench.
   • They typically use either electric motors, air compressors, or manually operated systems to create this hydraulic pressure.
2. Pressure Control:
   • These pumps allow for precise control of the hydraulic pressure, which directly correlates to the torque applied by the wrench.
   • Users can set the desired pressure on the pump to achieve the specified torque for a particular application.
3. Operation:
   • The pump is connected to the hydraulic torque wrench via high-pressure hoses.
   • When activated, the pump sends hydraulic fluid under pressure to the wrench, causing it to exert the required torque on the fastener.

WHERE ARE THEY USED?

1. Industrial Assembly:
   • Used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where precise torque is crucial for assembling components.
2. Construction:
   • Vital for applications such as tightening bolts on steel structures, bridges, and heavy machinery.
3. Maintenance:
   • Employed in the maintenance of equipment and machinery, ensuring bolts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening.
4. Oil and Gas:
   • Essential in the assembly and maintenance of pipelines, rigs, and other infrastructure where precise torque is necessary to ensure safety and integrity.

Advantages…

1. Precision:
   • Offers high accuracy in torque application, reducing the risk of over or under-tightening fasteners.
2. Efficiency:
   • Hydraulic systems can generate high levels of torque with less effort compared to manual methods.
3. Safety:
   • Minimizes the risk of injury by reducing the physical strain on workers and ensuring that fasteners are securely tightened.
4. Durability:
   • Hydraulic systems are generally robust and durable, suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Torque wrench pumps are crucial for any application where precise torque control is necessary. They ensure that fasteners are applied correctly, which is essential for the safety, reliability, and longevity of mechanical systems.  When you need to TORQUE TOUGH … let your BOSS do the hard work.
