Cleco PTW50IC Preset Mechanical Torque Wrench | Interchangeable Head | 7 - 37 (ft-lbs) Torque Range

When production fastening calls for repeatable torque control without a digital interface, the Cleco PTW50IC Preset Mechanical Torque Wrench provides controlled tightening in a compact, preset format. This model covers a 7 - 37 ft-lbs torque range, equivalent to 10 - 50 Nm, giving assembly teams a practical range for medium fasteners where consistency matters more than maximum breakaway force. Its interchangeable head design uses a 9 x 12 mm interface, allowing the wrench body to work with compatible Cleco 120XP ratcheting or flex ratcheting heads for different access needs.

The PTW50IC is a preset mechanical torque wrench, meaning the target torque is set beneath a tamper-resistant cover so operators can perform repeated rundowns without changing the setting during use. Cleco rates the PTW series at +/- 4% clockwise accuracy in the upper 80% of wrench capacity, making it suitable for controlled fastening in automotive, heavy truck, appliance, agricultural equipment, aerospace, and industrial assembly environments. The wrench is supplied with a 120XP ratcheting head, whose 3° swing arc helps technicians work in tight spaces where larger ratchet movement would slow the job.

Features:

• Preset mechanical torque control helps reduce setting changes during repetitive assembly work.
• Torque accuracy of +/- 4% CW supports repeatable tightening for safety and quality-critical fastening applications.
• Designed and tested for 100,000 cycles before recertification, helping reduce calibration interruptions in production use.
• Industry standard 9 x 12 mm interchange size integrates with compatible interchangeable heads without modifying the tool setup.
• Supplied with a 120XP ball lock ratchet head with a minimal 3° swing arc for better access around brackets, housings, and confined assemblies.
• Comfort grip includes a line indicating the correct operating position, helping users apply torque from the intended hand placement.
• Conforms with ASME B107.300-2022 standards and specifications.
• Tamper proof preset beneath a cover; PTW25IC/PTW50IC adjustment uses standard Torx® wrench T30, not supplied.

Applications:

• Automotive and fleet assembly — applying repeatable torque to brackets, chassis components, accessory mounts, and medium fasteners.
• Aerospace and precision manufacturing — controlled tightening where a preset tool helps limit operator adjustment at the workstation.
• Heavy truck, trailer, and agricultural equipment production — fastening subassemblies where 7 - 37 ft-lbs falls within the required torque window.
• Appliance and industrial equipment assembly — repeat fastening on panels, housings, frames, and mechanical components.
• Maintenance and calibration tool rooms — issuing preset torque tools for defined jobs where supervisors want consistent torque control.

FAQs:

• Q: What does preset mechanical torque wrench mean?
  A: A preset mechanical torque wrench is adjusted to a target torque before use, then given to the operator for repeated tightening. This helps prevent accidental setting changes during production work and supports more consistent fastening.
• Q: What torque range does the Cleco PTW50IC cover?
  A: The PTW50IC covers 10 - 50 Nm, or 7 - 37 ft-lbs. It is best used when the required fastener torque falls within that published range.
• Q: What does interchangeable head mean on this wrench?
  A: Interchangeable head means the wrench body accepts compatible heads using the 9 x 12 mm interface. This lets the same wrench body work with different ratcheting or flex head configurations when the application requires different access.
• Q: Does the PTW50IC include a ratcheting head?
  A: Yes. Cleco lists the PTW preset mechanical torque wrench series as including a 120XP ratcheting head.
• Q: Is this wrench adjustable by the operator during use?
  A: The torque setting is located beneath a tamper proof cover. Adjustment requires the correct Torx wrench, which helps keep the tool set to the intended torque for repetitive work.
