Ingersoll Rand QA8ASRS180NF41S08 Inline Air Nutrunner | 1/2" Drive | 66.4 - 132.8 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 125 RPM | Remote Start

For production fastening stations that require controlled torque delivery and integration with automated equipment, the Ingersoll Rand QA8ASRS180NF41S08 Inline Air Nutrunner provides a fixtured pneumatic fastening solution with remote-start actuation and an adjustable shut-off clutch. Part of the QA8 Series, this tool operates within a 66.4–132.8 ft-lbs (90–180 Nm) torque range at 90 PSI and delivers a 125 RPM free speed. Its 1/2-inch square drive accommodates compatible fastening sockets, while the remote-start arrangement allows operation through an external control system rather than a conventional hand-operated trigger. These characteristics make it suitable for production assembly applications where consistent fastening, controlled tool operation, and repeatable cycle execution are important.

The QA8ASRS180NF41S08 uses a precision shut-off clutch that automatically stops the fastening cycle when the preset torque is reached, helping limit torque variation and reaction forces during assembly. Its 20.4-inch (517 mm) overall length and 8.02 lb (3.64 kg) weight support installation in suitable fixture-mounted workstations. The slim inline construction helps conserve space within production equipment, while the integral cycle count port supports connection to compatible monitoring arrangements for tracking completed fastening cycles. A lube-free motor reduces routine motor lubrication requirements, and the tool's 46 CFM air consumption is an important consideration when planning the compressed air supply. The manufacturer identifies M14 as the common fastener size for this model, providing a useful reference for fastening application selection.

Type: Fixtured Inline Pneumatic Nutrunner | Model: QA8ASRS180NF41S08 | Series: QA8 Series | Actuation: Remote Start | Clutch: Adjustable Shut-Off | Torque Range at 90 PSI: 66.4–132.8 ft-lbs (90–180 Nm) | Torque Range at 77 PSI: 66.4–118.0 ft-lbs (90–160 Nm) | Free Speed at 90 PSI: 125 RPM | Free Speed at 77 PSI: 120 RPM | Drive: 1/2" Square | Common Fastener Size: M14 | Weight: 8.02 lbs (3.64 kg) | Overall Length: 20.4" (517 mm) | Head Side to Center: 2.00" (51 mm) | Air Consumption: 46 CFM (1,303 L/min) | Sound Level: 87 dB(A) | Configuration: Inline, Fixture-Mounted

Features: Remote-start actuation allows the nutrunner to be operated through suitable external controls as part of a production fastening system. Adjustable precision shut-off clutch stops the fastening cycle at the selected torque setting to help control torque variation and reduce reaction forces. 90–180 Nm torque adjustment range at 90 PSI supports applications requiring controlled tightening of substantial bolted connections. 125 RPM free speed provides a measured fastening pace for assembly processes where torque consistency is more important than high-speed rundown. 1/2-inch square spindle accommodates compatible fastening sockets for the intended joint and fastener configuration. Slim inline housing supports space-saving installation within production fixtures and multi-tool fastening equipment. Integral cycle count port offers an interface for compatible cycle-monitoring arrangements used in production assembly operations. Lube-free motor reduces the need for routine motor lubrication associated with conventional lubricated pneumatic tools. Proven QA8 Series construction incorporates components developed from Ingersoll Rand's QE Series assembly tool platform. Made in USA:

• Multi-spindle assembly systems: Providing an inline pneumatic fastening unit for suitable coordinated fastening arrangements.
• Heavy mechanical assembly: Controlled tightening of appropriate M14 and other compatible fastener applications based on joint requirements.
• Assembly process monitoring: Supporting production setups that use the integral cycle count port with compatible monitoring equipment.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the torque range of the Ingersoll Rand QA8ASRS180NF41S08?

  A: The recommended torque range is 66.4–132.8 ft-lbs (90–180 Nm) at 90 PSI. At 77 PSI, the manufacturer lists a lower upper limit of 118.0 ft-lbs (160 Nm). Select the operating pressure and torque setting according to the intended fastening process.

• Q: What does remote start mean on this nutrunner?

  A: Remote start means the tool is actuated through a compatible external control arrangement rather than a conventional hand trigger. This makes it suitable for fixture-mounted and machine-integrated fastening stations. The required control components should be selected using Ingersoll Rand's installation documentation.

• Q: How does the adjustable shut-off clutch work?

  A: The clutch is set to a specified torque within the tool's operating range and automatically shuts off the tool when that torque threshold is reached. This helps reduce fastening variation. Critical joints should still be validated using an appropriate torque verification process.

• Q: Is the QA8ASRS180NF41S08 intended for handheld assembly?

  A: This model belongs to Ingersoll Rand's fixtured inline remote-start nutrunner family. It is intended for installation in an appropriately designed mounting and control arrangement rather than use as a conventional handheld trigger-operated wrench.

• Q: What drive size and common fastener size does this model use?

  A: It features a 1/2-inch square drive, and the manufacturer's current model table identifies M14 as its common fastener size. Actual suitability depends on the joint design, required torque, socket, and available access.

• Q: How much compressed air does the QA8ASRS180NF41S08 require?

  A: Ingersoll Rand lists 46 CFM (1,303 L/min) for the QA8 Series. The air supply must be sized to support the tool and any additional nutrunners operating on the same system. Confirm the appropriate inlet connection and tubing arrangement before installation.
