Backup Wrench

Backup Wrenches

ABS Backup Wrenches (HFBW Series) are essential bolting accessories designed to hold the stationary nut securely while a torque wrench tightens the opposing fastener. This mechanism is indispensable in torquing operations to prevent the stationary component from rotating during tightening. ABS Backup Wrenches are engineered for safety, accuracy, and reliability, ensuring the stationary side remains fixed and resulting in consistent preload and a secure, long-lasting bolted joint.
Features

Why Backup Wrenches Are Critical

Backup wrenches are vital for both operational safety and quality assurance:

  • Safety: They prevent the stationary component from rotating during tightening, avoiding thread damage, component distortion, or operator injury.

  • Efficiency: By holding the counter-nut firmly, they allow the torque wrench to apply the required torque accurately and quickly, reducing setup time and improving workflow.

  • Joint Integrity: They ensure the integrity of the bolted joint by guaranteeing the stationary side remains fixed, leading to a consistent and secure preload.


Product Series and Specifications

ABS offers two primary types of backup wrenches to accommodate different operational and safety requirements:

I. HFBW Open/Close Series (Standard)

These wrenches are available in various sizes and configurations (Open Series and Close Series) to ensure precise engagement with different nut and bolt setups.

  • Across Flat Size Range : 30 mm (1-1/4") to 145 mm (5-3/4")

  • Load Limits (Max): Up to 37,962 Nm (28,000 ft.lbs.).

II. HFBW Magnetic Backup Wrenches

These specialized wrenches provide hands-free solutions with advanced safety and productivity features, addressing the common industrial risk of finger pinching.

  • Hands-Free Safety: Eliminates injury risks by stopping counter-nut rotation without manual intervention.

  • Magnetic Locks: Equipped with high-strength magnets embedded in the body, enabling fast installation and secure attachment to steel surfaces.

  • Safety: The adjustable arm can be fitted with a lanyard to prevent accidental drops or field hazards.


Features

The HFBW Series is engineered for safety, durability, and practical use in high-torque operations:

  • Quick Release: Provides the quickest and most reliable way to prevent counter-nut rotation, with effortless lock-on and rapid quick-release boosting safety and overall productivity.

  • Rugged Construction: Engineered for rigorous industrial use with corrosion-resistant steel and reliable 12-point cutouts to match a variety of bolting jobs.

  • Eliminates Hammering: Removes the need for hammers, reducing risk and saving valuable time.

  • Adjustable Arm (Magnetic): The adjustable arm allows for flexible installation in diverse configurations.


Applications

Backup wrenches are indispensable accessories in every high-torque operation:

  • Pipeline and Flange Work: Ensuring accurate and quick tightening of counter-nuts on pipe flanges.

  • Structural Bolting: Securing heavy structural components where one side must be held firm during torquing.

  • Heavy Machinery: Maintenance and assembly applications where preventing component rotation is critical.

  • Safety-Critical Environments: Magnetic models are preferred in environments where minimizing manual contact and reducing pinching hazards is a priority.
