Reaction Arm ®
Absorbs Shock. Decreases Injury.
Positech’s ReactionArm absorbs
shock, torsional forces, and
impact force from power tools;
therefore reducing carpal
tunnel injury and cumulative
trauma disorders.
Cumulative trauma injuries cost
the U.S. economy billions each
year. The ReactionArm reduces
injuries to workers’ wrists, arms
and upper bodies by absorbing
the shock of the attached power
tool. A power tool mounted on a
ReactionArm can be easily moved
and positioned throughout the
work cell. A variety of styles,
capacities and mounting options
provide versatility.
Standard or customized tooling
and controls are available to meet
your requirements.
