FEATURES AND BENEFITS

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

Designed to absorb energy from the torquing action, Torque Tubes reduce fatigue and impact on the operator.

ZERO-GRAVITY OPERATION

As torque tools move down the assembly line, operators do not need to lift, hold, position, or feel the weight of the tool, resulting in increased operator efficiency and reduced fatigue.

ROBUST AND DURABLE

Built with high-quality bearings, Torque Tubes enable smooth and reliable operation while ensuring long product life.

SIMPLIFIED MAINTAINANCE

Reduces downtime for maintenance with easy-to-change-out wear parts.

EASY INTEGRATION

Easily combined with existing Unified rail systems, including ETA 3, 4, 5 and 8, to create a complete load positioning system for your application needs. Conveniently adapt tool holders and other fixtures to the Torque Tube for flexibility and changeout as the application requires.

FAQs

What are the benefits of using a spring balancer torque tube over a pneumatic one?

Spring balancer models are cost-effective, require no compressed air, and are ideal for consistent tool weights. They offer a simpler, low-maintenance solution for ergonomic tool support.

What industries commonly use the UT2-SB Series Torque Tubes?

These torque tubes are widely used in automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment manufacturing, and general industrial assembly—especially where ergonomic tool handling and operator safety are priorities.

What applications are best suited for the UT2-SB Torque Tubes?

Ideal for powered torquing, tool positioning, and repetitive assembly tasks, particularly when using unbalanced or heavy tools that require ergonomic support and precise vertical movement.

What is the maximum tool weight supported by the UT2-SB Series?

The spring balancer model supports tools up to 25 lbs, making it suitable for light to medium-weight tools in high-repetition environments.

How does the spring balancer mechanism benefit operators?

It provides mechanical counterbalance, allowing tools to "float" in place. This reduces strain on the operator, minimizes fatigue, and improves safety—without the need for compressed air.
