2.3 GENERAL PROPERTIES
The torque reaction arms are an excellent support for hand held tool assembly operations, e.g.
assembly with electronic tools.
They relieves efforts on operator arm, wrist and shoulders caused by repetitive tasks, vibrations, forces
and loads. Even a low rate of repetitive actions could cause severe disorders.
ERGO15A Torque reaction arms have a wide range of performance and are exceptionally easy to
install and use. They are designed for long-lasting.
ERGO15A folded torque arms are designed to absorb torque reaction forces applied in
orthogonal direction of arm axis..
Tool torque capacity must not exceed the maximum torque value specied for the torque reaction
arm in use.
It is recommended to use ERGO15A arms together with an appropriate balancers.

2.10 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Fixation of torque arm
(bench installation)
•The reaction arm
should be always installed
in front of the operator
(considering his preferred
hand)
•Fix arm to workstation
bench or support through
attachment screws (see
page 7, pic. 7).
•Fix the power tool in
the tool holder.
•Adjust the balancer
tension.
•In order to nd an
optimal ergonomic
position, please consider
the following parameters
(see picture):
B: distance between tightening point and the rst arm. To be chosen in function of the dimension
of the part to be assembled, in order to avoid interference between parts and arm and for the
operator’s comfort.
C: maximum height of the tool from the oor. It should be achievable by the operator without
excessive vertical rotation of the shoulder (Y). Ergonomic practice suggest having all operation
below the center of the shoulder.
D: minimum and maximum work height. It is also dened as “stroke” of the arm. The arm
installation height should be chosen to allow an upper tool position which can be possibly far
from operator’s body, in order to prevent accidental contacts.
Others:
- it is suggested having the the tightening point positioned indicatively 100mm below the
operator’s elbow center (X). Therefore, height of table and eventual jigs for the part clamping
should be calculated accordingly.

5.3 INSTALLATION RELATED RISKS
Firmly install the reaction arm either to the existing structure or to specically made structure in the
workplace. Verify that the reaction arm support has a safety factor of minimum ve times the value
obtained by the sum of maximum sustained load plus the reaction arm weight.
Example of calculation:
Optimal Safety Factor = (Max support load + torque arm weight + tool weight ) x 5
The reaction arm will have to be xed through the pre-drilled wall attachment interface, as shown in
Pic. 7, page 8.

15
5.4 WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL BALANCER
•Verify that the balancer suspension support has a safety factor of minimum ve times the value
obtained by the sum of maximum sustained load plus the balancer weight. Example of calcula-
tion:
Optimal Safety Factor = (Max support load + balancer weight + torque arm weight + tool
weight ) x 5
•Install and x an additional cable or chain to a separate support which is independent from
those supporting the balancer.
•Verify that suspension hooks, cable and chain do not show signs of wear. If so, replace the
wornparts before installation.
•Check that tool holder is rmly tightened before using the reaction arm.
5.5 USE RELATED RISKS
•Do not exceed the recommended load or torque capacity ranges indicated for the torque
arm model in use.
•Operators must be physically able to manoeuvre the torque arm. If you are unfamiliar with the
torque arm, adjust the tool to a low torque setting the rst time you operate it.
•Daily verify the torque arm attachment and all structural parts for wear or cracks. Replace the
entire arm if extensive wear, damage or cracks are detected.
•Do not operate the torque arm if damaged or malfunctioning. Examine balancer suspen- sion
hooks, cables, cable stops and chains daily for wear. Replace worn parts before further use.
•Daily check that there are no loosen screws or nuts. Replace worn nuts or washers before
further use.
•Regularly perform a complete functionality check, including fully extending and retracting
the torque arm throughout its complete range of movements. In case high friction is detected,
check whether one or more tubes is deformed or damaged or look for presence of any dust or
deposits over the tubes. In case of tubes contamination, clean ad described previously and try
the functionality again. In case any tubes deformation is detected the entire torque arm must be
replaced.
•This product and its accessories must not be modied
5.6 WORK RELATED RISK
•Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of excess hose left on the
walking or work surface.
