Torque Tubes
Knight’s Torque Tubes series is designed to reduce operator fatigue by absorbing torque reaction produced by assembly tools while balancing the tool weight. The Torque Tubes are balanced by an air cylinder to achieve zero gravity balancing. Each pneumatic cylinder is supplied with single balance control.
The ATA2600AR and ATA2700AR can be swivel Tool Holders by incorporating our ASA9519 360 degree Rotating Tool Clamp. They can also be a fixed Tool Holder by incorporating our ASA9523 or ASA9524 Adjustable Tool Clamps.
The ATA4500 is intended for high torque applications. Custom tool holders will need to be designed for each application.
