Built for fast, repeatable fastening on light assembly lines and production benches, the Cleco 19BPA03Q inline pneumatic screwdriver combines 1,600 RPM free speed with a 5–26 in-lbs torque range for controlled screw rundown on small threaded fasteners. Compared with faster, lower-torque models, this 19 Series screwdriver gives operators a broader torque ceiling while still maintaining the speed needed for high-volume assembly work.
The 1/4" hex quick change drive accepts compatible screwdriver bits for common assembly screws, while push-to-start actuation begins tool rotation when the bit is pressed into the fastener. A push-button reverse allows quick fastener removal or correction, and the Clecomatic clutch (Cleco’s automatic shut-off clutch system) helps stop the tool at the preset torque to reduce dwell on the fastener and improve repeatability from cycle to cycle.

Features:
- Clecomatic clutch delivers torque repeatability and supports a longer calibration cycle in assembly environments.
- Push-to-start operation helps streamline repetitive fastening by activating the tool when axial pressure is applied.
- Push button reverse lets operators quickly back out screws or correct fastener placement during production work.
- 1,600 RPM free speed balances productive rundown with added control for the 5–26 in-lbs torque range.
- 1/4" hex quick change drive supports fast bit replacement at the bench or production station.
- Inline body style helps keep the bit, fastener, and operator-applied pressure aligned for straight screw engagement.
- Grip material is tested to withstand a range of industrial chemicals commonly encountered in production settings.
- Standard equipment includes operating instructions, service manual, suspension bail, and all torque springs required to meet the indicated torque range.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)
Applications:
- Electronics and controls assembly — fastening covers, terminal blocks, brackets, and small hardware with controlled torque.
- Appliance manufacturing — running screws into panels, housings, internal brackets, and subassemblies at production benches.
- Automotive component assembly — installing trim hardware, small brackets, clips, and pre-threaded fasteners.
- Aerospace and precision assembly — controlled fastening on light components where repeatability and alignment are important.
- General manufacturing cells — repetitive screwdriving where quick bit changes and push-to-start operation improve workstation flow.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the torque range of the Cleco 19BPA03Q?
A: The catalog lists the tool range as 5–26 in-lbs / 0.6–2.9 Nm, which converts to approximately 0.4–2.2 ft-lbs. The standard spring range is listed as 5–19 in-lbs / 0.6–2.1 Nm. - Q: What does the Clecomatic clutch do?
A: The Clecomatic clutch shuts off the tool at the user-adjusted preset torque. This helps reduce fastener dwell and supports more consistent torque results than a simple stall-type tool. - Q: What bits fit the 1/4" hex quick change drive?
A: This model accepts compatible 1/4" hex screwdriver bits. Match the bit style to the screw head and verify that the bit is appropriate for the tool’s torque range and application. - Q: How is the 19BPA03Q different from the 19BPA02Q?
A: The 19BPA03Q runs at 1,600 RPM and has a broader 5–26 in-lbs tool torque range, while the 19BPA02Q is faster at 2,300 RPM with a 5–19 in-lbs range. Choose the 19BPA03Q when the application needs more available torque than the faster model provides. - Q: What air supply is required for this screwdriver?
A: Cleco rates the tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa for maximum rated torque. The listed air requirements are 11 SCFM, a 1/8" NPT air inlet, and a 3/16" minimum hose I.D.
