Enables accurate and repeatable testing of pneumatic or electric power tools

Higher quality joint rundown fixtures produce torque data with less scatter

UFT Joint simulators

Designed for pulse tool and continuous drive tool certification and testing, UFT Joint Simulators offer the most repeatable and linear joint rate simulation on the market. Bolt tightening body and hydraulic pressure loading mechanism are connected by a hydraulic pressure circuit. Ideal for ISO 5393 Test Procedures.

joint kits: ajkr & ajks series

Joint kits are an essential accessory for accurate off-line testing of powered assembly tools. Represent production joint conditions off the production line. Can be adjusted to include joint conditions specified by ISO 5393. Allows free running of bolt before torque gradient. Provide linear response. Repeatable 1/4" - 1" drive sizes, 28 - 1,695 Nm.

ardia rundown fixture (in-lb)

To test power tools, pneumatic or electric, consistent rotational speed must be achieved. The joint rundown fixture/simulator provides the means by which the tool motor and spindle rotates freely at the start of the test cycle and then develops torque as rotation resistance increases as fastener/joint load increases.

ardfa rundown fixture (ft-lb)

To test power tools, pneumatic or electric, consistent rotational speed must be achieved. The linearity and consistency of the joint rundown fixtures/ simulators vary greatly and the tool test data is a product of the variations in these rundown fixtures. Higher quality joint rundown fixtures produce torque data with less scatter.
