Safer Bolting at Height: Enerpac Introduces DSX-Series Torque Wrenches

Carrying out bolting operations at height runs the risk of danger to those working beneath dropped objects. Enerpac introduces a lightweight solution. The Enerpac DSX-Series Aluminium Square Drive Torque Wrenches are safe, easy to use, tools designed for medium duty use when working at height.

To help to reduce dropped-object incidents when working at height, the five models in the series feature a built-in connection point to safely tether the tool to a work belt or bag. A standard ergonomic safety handle also helps to prevent injuries or near misses from loss of tool. When it comes to operator protection, a fully enclosed drive prevents operator contact with moving parts inside the tool.

Made with a high-strength aluminium body, the CE Approved Enerpac DSX-Series Aluminium Torque Wrenches are lightweight and easy to use—important factors when working at height. Another feature that makes the tool simple to use is a multi-direction 360 x 180° high flow aluminium swivel that helps prevent twisted and tangled hydraulic hoses. To help make operators more efficient on-site, the wrenches feature a fine-tooth ratchet that prevents the tool from locking on, a 35-degree rotation angle that assists with repetitive bolt tightening tasks, and a retained push-button quick release.

Additional key features include torque output ranging from 191 to 32.617 Nm, compact nose radius for tight locations, tool accuracy +/- 3% and ATEX approval for bolting projects in in explosive atmospheres.

The Enerpac DSX-Series Aluminium Square Drive Torque Wrenches are now available through Enerpac distributors. For more information visit www.enerpac.com.

SOUTHCO INTRODUCES NEW UNIVERSAL LATCH SENSOR

 Southco has introduced a Universal Latch Sensor (ULS) for enhanced security and constant monitoring.

Southco’s Universal Latch Sensor is a simple magnet that attaches to an existing latch, and a magnetic sensor that attaches to the inside of an existing door frame. When the door is closed, and the latch is engaged, the magnet comes into proximity with the sensor, sending an electronic signal to your security system. This lets you know the door is closed and the latch is secure.

This signal from the ULS can be used in a variety of ways, from integrating security systems, to turning on existing lights inside an enclosure. Regardless of the application, the ULS can be easily integrated to provide more reliable monitoring of the status of a latch. Where door sensors may return a “closed” signal even if the door is unlocked, the Universal Latch sensor monitors the latch itself, so users always know if their door is closed, and their latch is secure.

For example, it can be used to turn on indicator lights on a dashboard when a latch is open, or internal lighting, illuminating the inside of an enclosure or storage area before the hinges move. Southco also offers a sensor with built-in LED’s that automatically illuminate when the latch is opened, removing the need for additional lighting in small spaces.

Seized nut? Enerpac has a Splitter for that

The new Hydraulic Nut Splitters from Enerpac are ideal for removing seized and corroded nuts, eradicating the need for unsafe grinding and flame cutting. With 21 tools in all, the efficiency, durability, and ergonomic design of the nut splitters gives maintenance engineers the ability to remove the toughest seized nuts.

The Enerpac nut splitter portfolio includes: NC Series Nut Cutter, NSH Series Nut Splitter and NSPH Series Nut Splitter Power Head tools. When it comes to efficiency, the tools have an optimised cutting head geometry ideal for the industry application. For example, the Enerpac NSH and NSPH Series tools are designed for the oil and gas market and the cutting heads specially designed to tackle bolted pipeline flange joints. Another efficient feature is the dual blade design found on several models. As nuts can be split from two sides in one action, this saves the operator valuable time.

For enhanced durability, the tools are heat treated and shock resistant to withstand minor impacts without damage. Durability includes features such as heavy duty, steel chisels that can be reground as needed, models with a drop-tested revolving anchor point, and models that can tackle nuts with up to a max HRC 44 hardness.

Operators will appreciate the ergonomic design. An angled head and ergonomically designed and positioned handle makes the tool easy to work with and manoeuvre. Several models also feature an easy-to-use compact design.
