Torque tools ease assembly of connectors with axial screw termination

Harting has introduced a set of torque tools designed to ease the installation of its Han® range of industrial connectors using axial screw termination technology.

The introduction of axial screw termination technology for connecting fine stranded wires complements Harting’s proven screw-termination technology with a popular field-termination technique that is easy to install and compact. Assembly merely requires the appropriately stripped stranded wires as well as a hexagonal wrench, preferably with adjustable torque moment.

Users who are unsure as to which tool is used for which Harting axial screw termination or screw-termination product during assembly can now simply employ a tool from the new Han® Series of torque tool sets. Installation merely involves adjusting and applying the tightening torque appropriate for the wire gauge. As a result, products such as the Han® 200A Axial or the Han® 40A Axial can be easily and securely installed.

Three new Han® torque tool sets and a new screwdriver set include all the tools necessary for the Han® product range. The sets for high-current axial contacts and power contacts feature variably adjustable torque screwdrivers covering the torque ranges of 5-14 Nm and 1-5 Nm.

In addition to the variable screwdrivers, a further set offers two pre-set tightening torque screwdrivers with fixed torque values of 0.5 Nm and 1.2 Nm, which are suitable for screw contacts and fixing screws. The portfolio is completed by a screwdriver set which is optimally designed for use with Han®
