Product Overview

The RTP8100-GIR38 is a powerful pneumatic screwdriver. Specifically, this tool features a straight body design for industrial use. Moreover, the rotation direction is fully reversible for tightening and loosening. However, this model does not include an automatic shut-off mechanism. Therefore, operator control determines the final torque application. As a result, this tool is ideal for heavy bolting tasks in manufacturing and maintenance.

Torque Performance

The RTP8100-GIR38 delivers exceptional torque output. For example, minimum torque reaches 1600 ft-lb at 1.5 bar. In comparison, maximum torque reaches 6000 ft-lb at 6.3 bar. Consequently, the torque range spans from 1600 to 6000 ft-lb. Thus, this wide range suits various bolt sizes from 1.25 to 2 inches.

Speed and Air Consumption

Free speed of the RTP8100-GIR38 is 10 r/min (revolutions per minute). Notably, this low speed provides excellent control for high-torque applications. Air consumption at free speed is 105 cfm (cubic feet per minute). Furthermore, maximum working pressure is 91 psi. For optimal performance, use a 1/2 inch recommended hose size. Likewise, the air inlet thread measures 1/2 inch as well.

Physical Dimensions

Tool Measurements
The RTP8100-GIR38 has substantial physical dimensions. Specifically, length reaches 17 inches (432 mm). Height measures 8 inches (203 mm). Additionally, CS distance is 2 inches with or without reaction bar.

Drive and Bolt Compatibility
The square drive size is 1.5 inches. Moreover, the bolt size range spans from 1.25 to 2 inches. Therefore, this tool handles most heavy bolting applications.

Weight Details
The tool itself weighs 30 lb (13.6 kg). Meanwhile, the complete package weight is 18.97 kg (41.8 lbs). Furthermore, package dimensions are 57.3 x 37.7 x 17.2 cm.

Noise and Vibration Characteristics

The RTP8100-GIR38 produces significant noise during operation. Specifically, sound power level is 111 dB(A). Sound pressure level is 101 dB(A). These measurements follow ISO15744 standard. On the positive side, vibration value is below 2.5 m/s² per ISO28927-2. Therefore, operators must wear proper hearing protection. At the same time, the low vibration value reduces operator fatigue during extended use.

Certifications and Regulatory Compliance

The RTP8100-GIR38 holds important safety certifications. Specifically, it is EAC certified for Eurasian markets. In addition, EU Legislation compliance follows 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive). EU Standard compliance meets ISO 11148-6 for assembly tools. Similarly, UK Regulations follow S.I. 2008/1597. Consequently, this tool is legal for sale in major industrial markets worldwide.

Design Features and Functionality

The RTP8100-GIR38 includes several notable design elements. First, the model type is straight (inline) configuration. Second, the tool is fully reversible for both tightening and loosening. However, this model does not include shut-off capability. Therefore, manual control is required at all times. Finally, the spline/wave type is 72 for reliable power transmission.

Installation and Operation Guide

Follow these steps to operate your RTP8100-GIR38 safely:

Step 1: Connect a 1/2 inch air supply hose to the inlet. Then, ensure the supply pressure does not exceed 91 psi.

Step 2: Install the correct square drive socket (1.5 inch drive size). After that, match the socket to your bolt size (1.25 to 2 inches).

Step 3: Attach a reaction bar to absorb torque forces. Therefore, the tool will not rotate unexpectedly during operation.

Step 4: Set the rotation direction using the reversing valve. Specifically, select forward for tightening or reverse for loosening.

Step 5: Position the tool squarely on the bolt head. Then, apply steady air pressure to start rotation.

Step 6: Monitor the bolt tightness carefully. Since there is no shut-off, operator judgment determines final torque.

Application Scenarios

The RTP8100-GIR38 is designed for heavy industrial bolting. For instance, use it in wind turbine assembly. Similarly, it works well for bridge construction and structural steel. In addition, mining equipment maintenance requires such high torque. Furthermore, shipbuilding and heavy machinery repair benefit from this tool. Thus, the 6000 ft-lb torque handles the largest fasteners.
