INTRODUCTION
The PneuTorque® Standard Series are non-impacting, air driven power tools designed for applying torque to
threaded fasteners. Remote control versions have no direction/shut-off control on the tool but rely on external
pneumatic circuitry (not provided) to provide this function. This opens up numerous application possibilities
for the PneuTorque® ranging from simple stall shut-off in a hazardous working environment to sophisticated,
multi-spindle torque and angle shut-off systems.
Together with the external pneumatic circuitry an external pressure regulator (Lubro Control Unit) is needed;
this allows the air pressure to be adjusted to determine the stall torque from the graph provided. There are
models to cover torque capacities of 680 N∙m to 300,000 N∙m.
The PneuTorque® must always be operated with the following:
• Filtered dry air supply. Minimum recommended compressor rating: 6.9 bar (100 psi), 19 l/s (40 CFM).
• Lubro Control Unit or similar Filter, Regulator and Lubricator Unit ½” Bore (12 mm).
• Impact or high quality sockets.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Replaceable Drive Square
To avoid internal damage (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been designed to
shear first. Tools are fitted with a drive square that can easily be replaced, alternative drive sizes are also
available.
Clockwise / Anti-Clockwise Control
Capable of tightening and releasing threaded fasteners.
Automatic Two Speed (AUT)
The automatic two speed gearbox option can reduce the fastener run down time. The initial run down is at 5
times normal operating speed before it automatically changes gear to apply the final torque.
Manual Two Speed (MTS)
The manual two speed gearbox option allows manual selection of ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ speeds, fast speed can
reduce the fastener run down time. The difference in gearbox ratios between slow and fast speeds is
approximately factor of 5.
Optional Transducers
Electronic torque transducers can be directly fitted for precise torque monitoring, giving repeatability of up to
+/- 2%.
Optional Angle Encoder
It is possible to fit an angle encoder to the PT. This measures the 6 air motor vanes and gives an output
calculated by the following formula:
Angle (degrees) = 6 x Velocity Ratio
360

reaction for PT 11

10
It is essential the reaction plate rests squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the fastener to be
tightened. The contact area must be within the shaded area of Figure 4, with the contact area as large as
possible.
WARNING: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE REACTION ARM IS ONLY
USED WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 4.
For special applications or where extra deep sockets must be used the standard arm may be extended but
only within the limitations shown on Figure 4. Alternative reaction devices are available.
WARNING: FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 4 WHEN
MODIFYING STANDARD REACTION ARMS MAY RESULT IN PREMATURE
WEAR OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.
Standard drive square extensions MUST NOT be used as these will cause serious damage to the tool output
drive. A range of nose extensions is available for applications where access is restricted. These are
designed to support the final drive correctly.
When the PneuTorque® is in operation the reaction arm rotates in the opposite direction to the output drive
square. The reaction arm must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt
to be tightened. (See Figure 5 & 6).
WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION ARM WHEN THE
TOOL IS IN USE OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.
TIP: To extend tool life ensure the reaction point remains square to the multiplier; this will
minimise stress on the output square. If the multiplier tilts under load, the reaction may not
remain square.
TIP: To help socket location with PT 1 & PT 2 tools in remote or multi-spindle applications use a
Telescopic Nose Assembly, Part number 16495.

Examples of Tool Control Systems
The remote control air motor requires a separate external pneumatic tool control system (not supplied as
standard) for on / off and clockwise / anti-clockwise control of the tool. The direction of tool rotation is
determined by pressurising either the clockwise (FWD) or anti-clockwise (REV) air inlet ports.
A Lubro Control Unit (Part Number 16074 – supplied where specified) is required to lubricate the air and control
the air pressure so the correct torque is applied. Check the oil level in the Lubro Control Unit and fill to the
correct level. (See MAINTENANCE section).
Ensure air hoses are clean and free from dirt before connecting. The air supply hoses and control valves must
be ½” bore (12mm) and the hose from the supply to the control system must not be longer than 5 metres or the
tools performance will be impaired. If the supply hose must be longer than 5 metres then ¾” bore must be
used.
Examples of tool control systems are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8.
WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD FROM WHIPPING AIR HOSES MAKE ALL
CONNECTIONS TO THE TOOL BEFORE TURNING ON THE AIR SUPPLY.

Setting Torque for Fastener Tightening
The tool stall torque is determined by the air pressure set on an external Lubro Control Unit (Part Number
16074 - supplied where specified).
Tools are supplied with an Air Pressure Graph which relates the torque output to the air inlet pressure.
Set the torque output as follows:
1. Ensure the tool control system is set for the required rotation.
2. For Manual two speed tools (Part number *****.XMTS) select ‘SLOW’ speed.
3. Establish the air pressure required using the Air Pressure Graph.
4. Ensure the drive square is able to free run.
5. With the tool running, adjust the air pressure regulator until the correct pressure is shown on the air pressure
gauge.
IMPORTANT: THE TOOL MUST BE FREE RUNNING WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE TO
GIVE THE CORRECT SETTING.
WHILE THE TOOL IS FREE RUNNING CHECK THAT LUBRO CONTROL UNIT IS
SUPPLYING APPROXIMATELY SIX DROPS OF OIL PER MINUTE.
Setting Torque for Fastener Loosening
1. Ensure that the tool control system is set for the required rotation.
2. Establish maximum air pressure from the associated Air Pressure Graph or tool label.
3. Adjust the pressure regulator until the correct pressure is achieved.
WARNING: EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE WILL CAUSE OVERLOADING
AND MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE.
WARNING: CHANGING THE AIR PRESSURE AFTER SETTING THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR WILL CHANGE THE STALL TORQUE VALUE.

MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance and safety, regular maintenance needs to be carried out. This section
details the user maintenance required; other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a
Norbar approved agent and should form part of a service. Service intervals will depend on the type of usage
of the tools and the environment in which they are being used. The maximum recommended maintenance
and recalibration interval is 12 months.
TIP: Steps the operator can take to reduce the amount of maintenance required include:
1. Use the tool in a clean environment.
2. Use an air compressor fitted with a dryer.
3. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit has sufficient hydraulic oil.
4. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit delivers hydraulic oil at the correct rate.
5. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit is regularly maintained, see product manual.
6. Maintain the correct torque reaction.
Reaction Plate
Every week check that the bolts fastening the reaction plate are tightened to the torque stamped onto the
reaction plate.
Air Lubrication
Add Fuchs Silkair VG22 or Shell Tellus S2 VX15 or equivalent good quality hydraulic oil to the Lubro control
unit.
Gearbox
Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to re-grease the gearbox. The gearbox contains Shell
Gadus S2 V220 or equivalent good quality grease.
Silencer
The silencer (#19188) should be changed every 12 months.
This may be more frequent for high tool usage or dirty environments.
To change silencer:
1. Remove circlip from end of sleeve.
2. Slide sleeve to access silencer.
3. Change silencer.
4. Refit sleeve and circlip.
Filter
The air filter (#18280) should be changed every 12 months.
This may be more frequent for high tool usage or dirty environments.
To change filter:
1. Switch off air supply to tool.
2. Remove inlet air hose.
3. Remove filter from inside tool air inlet.
4. Fit new filter.
5. Refit inlet air hose.
TIP: To help removal use a small screwdriver or a pair of internal circlip pliers.

Drive Square
To avoid internal damage (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been designed to
shear first. This saves major internal damage and allows easy square removal.
