TorcUP TXU torque wrench

The TXU is a low-profile hydraulic ring wrench cassette for applications with little space. Unlike the TX, the swivelling hose connection is on top of the cylinder. This makes the wrench shorter and lets it fit between obstacles. Accuracy is ±3%.

Based on the TX

  • Mechanically identical to the standard TX
  • Swivelling hose connection (Uni-Swivel) on top of the low-profile cylinder
  • Works with all standard and slimline cassettes (links) of the TX
  • Made in the USA
  • Every wrench calibrated in an ISO 17025 laboratory
  • Made of AQ-certified alloys

The TXU is a TX with the hose connection on top of the tool. This makes the hydraulic cylinder and the connection shorter, so the wrench also gets into tight spaces between bolts, flanges and structural parts.

Features

Uni-Swivel hose connection

Swivels 360° × 180° and makes the tool shorter, so it also fits between obstacles.

Patented peanut-shaped piston

Cylinder and cassette are the same width. Glide pads reduce the friction and wear of the piston.

Hex cassettes (left)

Every cassette has steel alignment pins to the lower reaction surface, for extra rigidity.

Drip-free quick couplers

Safety couplers with a 3:1 safety factor, easy to connect; the collar locks the coupler.

Cylinder and cassette made of 4340 steel

Both are made of very strong aircraft-grade 4340 steel.

Small nose radius

This lets the wrench fit where other wrenches are too large.

In-line reaction surface

Ensures a reaction without torsion on the wrench every time.

Single connecting pin

One pin connects the cassette to the cylinder: change cassettes without tools.

Variants

SDL cassette with square drive

Spanner wrench cassette, for even less space

Slimline cassette, for example for BOPs

Fully split cassette

Ring wrench cassettes from 17 to 222 mm, or custom

Accessories

TXU in-line reaction arm

Attaches to the cylinder and the cassette, for a reaction point further from the wrench.

TXU handle

Ergonomic handle for safe operation and positioning, with hands clear of the reaction points.

TXU low reaction paddle

Provides a reaction point under the wrench or against the edge of the flange.

TXU connecting pin with lanyard

The lanyard keeps the connecting pin on the wrench, so it does not get lost or fall when changing cassettes.

TXU spanner wrenches

Closed standard sizes and open or closed custom versions, for applications where normal cassettes do not fit.

TXU hex reducers

For all TX models, to reduce the hex of a cassette; 3/16" (5 mm) or more, as required.

TXU hex to square drive adapter

Turns a cassette into a square drive (or hex drive), for use with industrial impact sockets.
