Air tools offer reduced vibration and noise

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 25, 2008

The Prestige range was created in response to the demand for low noise and low-vibration products, which are ergonomically designed to offer comfort to those using the tools on a daily basis.

Pneumatic Components's (PCL's) Prestige range comprises 11 air tools, featuring low vibration, low noise, ergonomic grip and higher performance.

All products are manufactured from magnesium or copper composite for a high quality, lightweight finish and are designed to help the user perform jobs more efficiently and in greater comfort.

The APP270 Impact Wrench provides 2100Nm of torque yet weighs just 6.1kg.

A comparable product would normally weigh 10kg or more.

the smaller version, the APP201 Impact Wrench, provides a torque of 433Nm with a weight of only 1.29kg.

Both tools have a twin-hammer mechanism.

Meanwhile the standard PCL range has been extended from 17 tools to 40, including all of the common air tools, from impact wrenches and ratchets to sanders and grinding tools.

While the enhanced range incorporates many new designs, PCL has retained all of the old models.
