Abstract
A fluid-operated torque tool for tightening and loosening threaded connectors has an engaging element having an axis and two axial ends with at least one of the ends adapted to engage a threaded connector to be tightened or loosened, and a driving element which is displaceable under the action of a working fluid in an axial direction of the engaging element and engages with the engaging element so that during the axial displacement of the driving element the engaging element turns about the axis and therefore tightens or loosens a threaded connector engaged by the engaging element.
Claims4
A fluid-operated torque tool for tightening and loosening threaded connectors, comprising an engaging element having an axis and turnable about said axis, and also having two axial ends with at least one of said ends formed to engage a threaded connector to be tightened or loosened;
- and a single driving element which is displaceable under the action of a working fluid axially relative to said engaging element in a consecutive order in one axial direction of said engaging element and then in another opposite axial direction of said engaging element and engages with said engaging element so that during a consecutive axial displacement of said single driving element first in said one axial direction of said engaging element and thereafter in said another opposite axial direction of said engaging element, said engaging element turns about said axis only in one circumferential direction and therefore tightens or loosens a threaded connector engaged by said engaging element.
A fluid-operated torque tool for tightening and loosening threaded connectors, comprising a turnable engaging element having an axis of turning and two axial ends with at least one of said ends formed to engage a threaded connector to be tightened or loosened;
- a driving element which is displaceable under the action of a working fluid in an axial direction of said engaging element and engages with said engaging element so that during the displacement of said driving element in direction of said axis of said engaging element said engaging element turns about said axis and therefore tightens or loosens a threaded connector engaged by said engaging element;
- and means for engaging said driving element with said engaging element.
