What causes torque reaction from a hand tool?

A torque reaction is created when the rotational power from a tool acts at a right angle to the handle. This can be an ergonomic issue as the tool operator oftentimes absorbs the force. To reduce the chances of fatigue and injury from this type of scenario, many manufacturing companies utilize engineered torque reaction solutions.

What Our Clients Say

Our new GCI manipulator arm has been a great addition to our operation. It safely and efficiently handles 8-, 10-, and 12-inch Alpha valves without slowing down production. The installation also allowed us to reorganize the area — creating more room, reducing clutter, and enabling Alpha valve assembly in two separate work cells. This added flexibility really helps when we’re running large orders of 4- and 6-inch Alpha valves.
