PROTO J6232 Torque Multiplier, Max Rated Input 173 Ft-Lb, NIST Standards

Proto J6232 torque multiplier is commonly used in combination with torque wrenches and non-impact & hand power tools for increasing the torque output. It offers significant mechanical benefits to guarantee correct threaded fastener tightening. This gear multiplier can be used for loosening & tightening nuts & bolts that require high torque.

Working Mechanism:

• First, attach the appropriate socket to the output drive of the torque multiplier.
• Then, connect the input drive to a torque wrench or other power source.
• Apply force to the input drive while holding the torque multiplier steady and the tool will increase the torque applied to the fastener.

Features:

• Proto J6232 torque multiplier has tubular reaction bars to prevent bending under heavy loads.
• It features a 2-stage planetary gear system for delivering the torque to the fastener every five-degree increment of the torque multiplier.
• This torque multiplier also features a self-contained, anti-backlash device for preventing the tightening tool from getting slashed.

Compatible Accessories:

• Proto Socket Sets: These socket sets can be used to tighten nuts and bolts of different sizes when used with torque multipliers.
• Proto J6232RD Output Square Drive: This torque multiplier repair kit includes replaceable output square drive for overload protection.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I maintain a torque multiplier?

A.

• Regularly clean the tool after each use to remove dirt and debris, and lubricate moving parts as needed.
• Store the torque multiplier in a dry place away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

Q. How do I know if I'm applying the correct amount of torque with a torque multiplier?

A. To ensure proper torque application, use a torque wrench to verify the torque applied to the fastener after using the torque multiplier. This helps confirm that the desired torque level has been achieved and prevents over-tightening or under-tightening.

Q. What is the difference between a torque multiplier and a torque wrench?

A. Torque wrenches have long handles to provide the necessary leverage because they need to use a lot of manual force to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. That is the reason why torque wrenches are not suitable for tight spaces. Torque multipliers have small handles for use in tight spaces and can deliver high torque with little manual effort.
