GEDORE Torque Solutions has introduced the LHD-80, a heavy-duty torque wrench with a powerful brushless drive and stable power supply, designed for challenging tasks within the wind industry.
Strong forces are in play in wind power generation. To ensure that systems run safely, efficiently, and for as long as possible, the quality of bolted connections in particular must be unimpeachable. This is achieved with the LHD-80, which has a repeat precision of +/-2% and impressive strength and speed.
The latest generation wind power torque wrench is designed for a torque range of 800Nm to 8,000Nm and for all standard bolting processes (torque and torque/torque angle processes).
The torque is easy to set in 10Nm steps on the large, clearly laid out colour display. The set value appears on the LC display. Once it has been reached, an acoustic signal occurs. This visual and acoustic zero error strategy plays a major role in achieving the precision of this high-speed wind energy torque wrench. When required, bolting operations can be stored on the LOCK/QS module. Another option is the documentation of all bolted connections using LH.TRACK. The LHD-80 has an inductive interface for data transmission.
The heavy-duty torque wrench by GEDORE Torque Solutions measures 180mm x 250mm x 540mm and weighs 14.6kg including mains cable and accessories.
