Torque Reaction Tube

GCI’s proprietary smart software can track tooltip for torque tools utilizing either a rack-and-pinion or a drive-wheel setup. The rack-and-pinion approach is very reliable but has coverage area limits. The drive wheel option is great for larger areas as long as the wheel calibration is properly maintained.

A torque reaction tube is a tool engineered to absorb the twisting motion from a torque wrench or tool. These devices are most frequently utilized in industrial applications. They can be seen in manufacturing plants for agriculture machinery, automotive assembly, various engines, and many other industrial applications.

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.

GCI is tool agnostic so almost any brand of tool can be integrated with our torque reaction and list assist solutions.
