EXTERNAL LOAD<br />
When working with this tool external loads<br />
are small. No feed force is required and<br />
there is no wrist torque. Since the machine<br />
is a stall-torque tool for high torque levels<br />
and is always used with a reaction bar,<br />
there are no external loads from the process.<br />
WEIGHT<br />
The important factor is weight. A tool de-<br />
signed for torques of 1,000 N and above will<br />
be heavy. Evaluating this tool in terms of<br />
weight is a delicate task. It can be equipped<br />
with different gear trains to produce differ-<br />
ent torques, and the weight can vary be-<br />
tween 2.9 kg and 5.6 kg.<br />
As this tool is never used in intensive<br />
applications, the score is in the range of<br />
10-20. Only the lightest tools are hand-held<br />
in operation. The majority of tools are sus-<br />
pended in balancers. In this evaluation we<br />
award the tool a score of 12.<br />
TEMPERATURE<br />
Cold air from the vane motor and heat<br />
emitted by the gear train will balance each<br />
other out quite effectively in a typical work<br />
situation.<br />
The temperature of the tool will thus<br />
be around room temperature, giving a<br />
score of 1.<br />
SHOCK REACTION<br />
The use of a reaction bar ensures that there<br />
will be no shock reaction, 0.<br />
VIBRATION<br />
The declared vibration value is
