Pneumatic screwdrivers are a range of Air Screwdrivers that have been designed keeping the user in mind. Many patents have been filed in the manufacture of these new Drivers and have won several awards. These drivers are compact in size. Many come with a soft composite ergonomic grip and with a new high technology patented MSC motor that produces about 30% more power than a normal air driver. Some may even have a new one pulse 3% tolerance cross path patented clutch system.
Some features about pneumatic screwdrivers and comparison with electric screwdrivers -
Torque Precision - Both electric and pneumatic screwdrivers contain mechanical clutches. The shutoff mechanisms of both (micro switches and air valves) are designed for shutting off the power source whether it is compressed air or electricity. Accuracy is a function of choosing the correct speed and clutch spring.
Power To Weight Ratio - Typically, the hand held air screwdrivers are lighter and smaller than the electric screwdrivers. They also have better power to weight ratio. This is a benefit in tight access areas or where balancers can't be used.
Higher Production Rates - Air screwdrivers are also able to deliver higher production rates as they are not limited by the dwell time required to drive a fastener, or the cycle time between fasteners. Usually, electric drivers require minimum of 3-4 seconds between driven fasteners and should not be on for more than 0.5 seconds. This removes the heat build up and prevents the failure of electronic component.
Broader Torque Ranges and Versatility - Air screwdrivers have to offer a huge range of torque capacities and speeds to fit the many applications. Air screwdrivers are mostly available as straight, pistol or even angle head models.
Easier Maintenance - pneumatic screwdrivers have fewer moving parts and there is no wiring or de-soldering to consider. Also there are no delicate electronic components to handle or adjust. Also these are more "forgiving" than electric drivers and if one assembles the motor incorrectly, it simply stalls. Typically, the maintenance department is able to provide a quicker turn around to return the units back to production.
