When controlled fastening needs more than a standard air wrench, the Cleco 55RNAL-2-4 inline reaction bar pneumatic nutrunner delivers repeatable torque for production assembly, maintenance fastening, and high-torque rundown work. This 55 Series lever-start tool uses a Clecomatic shut-off clutch, meaning the tool automatically stops at the set torque to help improve fastening consistency. With a 30 - 67 ft-lbs torque range and 270 RPM free speed, it is built for assemblies that require controlled tightening rather than impact-style breakaway force.
The inline configuration keeps the tool aligned with the fastener, while the supplied reaction bar helps absorb torque reaction, which is the twisting force felt by the operator when higher torque is applied. A 1/2" square drive, 55 SCFM air consumption, and 1/2" air inlet make this nutrunner a fit for compressed-air production environments where repeatability, torque control, and proper reaction management matter.

Applications:
- Production assembly lines fastening medium-to-high torque joints where shut-off clutch repeatability is required.
- Heavy equipment and off-highway machinery assembly involving bolts, brackets, housings, and structural subassemblies.
- Automotive, truck, and trailer manufacturing stations where controlled rundown torque is more important than impact force.
- Industrial MRO and plant maintenance fastening where operators need a reaction bar to manage tool torque safely and consistently.
- Aerospace and general manufacturing work cells using pneumatic nutrunners for repeatable threaded assembly.
FAQs:
- Q: What does a reaction bar do on this Cleco nutrunner?
A: The reaction bar helps absorb torque reaction, which is the twisting force created when the tool reaches higher torque. This helps the operator control the tool and supports more stable fastening during repeated assembly work. - Q: Is the Cleco 55RNAL-2-4 an impact wrench?
A: No. This is a pneumatic nutrunner with a Clecomatic shut-off clutch. It is used for controlled tightening to a target torque range, while an impact wrench is primarily used for high-force fastening and breakaway work. - Q: What torque range does this model cover?
A: The 55RNAL-2-4 covers 30 - 67 ft-lbs, or 46 - 91 Nm. That range is best matched to assembly joints that require repeatable tightening within this torque window. - Q: What air supply does this nutrunner require?
A: The manufacturer-listed air consumption is 55 SCFM, with a 1/2" air inlet and 5/8" minimum hose I.D. Use a properly sized compressed-air system to maintain tool speed and torque consistency. - Q: What is a Clecomatic shut-off clutch?
A: A Clecomatic shut-off clutch is a torque-control clutch that shuts the tool off when the preset torque is reached. This helps reduce over-tightening and supports repeatable fastening on production joints.
