Torque Solutions offers the full range of Atlas Copco bolting products, including Tensor Revo transducerised electric nutrunners, hydraulic torque tools, tensioners and pumps, as well as specialist hydraulic products. Tools such as the Tensor Revo HA are specifically designed for the installation and maintenance of wind turbines, that demand high accessibility, faster tightening and full traceability. Delivering a tightening performance of up to 8,000Nm, the Tensor Revo HA’s DC electric motor is the fastest on the market by a factor of up to six times.
