GEDORE VDE torque wrenches – working under high voltage

Special tools are required in various industries, not just electronics, for working on live components and conductors. As well as VDE Pliers, GEDORE's range of insulated tools includes the VDE Torque wrench 4508-05

Remscheid, November 2017 – The ultra-precise measuring instrument for

controlled screw tightening is suitable for working under voltage at up to

1000 volts in the automotive industry, telecommunications and a whole range

of special applications in, for instance, foundries. The latest generation of the

GEDORE VDE Torque wrench 4508-05 is based on the established pipe

torque TORCOFIX, which has long been in GEDORE's programme in

versions for various torque ranges. GEDORE has optimised the predecessor

with the proven release technology of the TORCOFIX. Furthermore, users

benefit from the GEDORE service: the GEDORE VDE Torque wrench is

easy to adjust and calibrate, and includes a calibration certificate to the

current version of DIN EN ISO 6789. The insulation of the wrench necessary

for working in a voltage range is not destroyed in calibration.

For safe, controlled and easy working

The VDE Torque wrench is designed for a working range from 10 to 50 Nm,

which is set by simply turning the handle after releasing it at the end. Fine

adjustment is effected by means of a scale in 0.25 Nm steps. To ensure your

safety, a deviation of +/- 3 percent from the set value exceeds the +/- 4

percent required by the standard. The wrench has a 1/2" square drive with a

safety button to prevent unintentional release of the inserts.

Wide range of applications

The GEDORE VDE Torque wrench 4508-05 can be used anywhere for

working under voltage:

Maritime: Working on running engines Rail: Working on signal boxes Agriculture Automotive industry Public utilities: Cable connections Telecommunications: Working on communication cables Repairs and maintenance of machinery and equipment Special applications (induction furnaces, foundries etc.)
