noiSe Declared noise levels for electric tools are below 70 dB(A), and below 80 dB(A) for pneumatic tools. Angle nutrunners generate no process noise and, since they are not operated for prolonged periods during one day, they do not cause any significant increase in the noise level at the workplace. Electric tools have even been criticized for being too silent. Sometimes the operators do not get sufficient acoustic feedback when using the tool to judge the progress of the tightening cycle. DUSt anD oil These factors are not an operating problem for pneumatic or electric tools. Modern angle nutrunners are increasingly used in the aerospace industry. 57
58 High torque nutrunners for use with reaction bars High torque nutrunners need a reaction bar to handle the reaction torque when tightening a joint. Since the bar is tailored to a specific joint, tools of this type are mainly used in assembly line production. In this group we include electric nutrunners and stall-type pneumatic nutrunners designed for use with reaction bars or articulating arms to handle high torque applications. Where are the tools used? A typical application for high torque nutrunners is in the automotive industry. Installed torques vary from 100 to 4,000 Nm, and sometimes even higher, depending on tool size. Larger tools are mainly used in the A high torque pistol grip nutrunner can tighten large bolts without placing too much load on the operator.
