Ingersoll Rand QTA020 Bench-Mounted Torque Reaction Arm is designed to improve operator ergonomics, reduce reaction force, and enhance fastening consistency during precision assembly operations. Featuring a 14.8 ft-lb torque capacity and a 20-inch maximum working reach, this bench-mounted reaction arm absorbs the reaction forces generated by torque-controlled assembly tools, helping minimize operator fatigue while maintaining accurate tool positioning. Its compact yet extended reach makes it well suited for low- to medium-torque fastening applications in production environments.
As part of Ingersoll Rand's Assembly Tools lineup, the QTA020 securely mounts to a workstation while providing smooth articulation throughout the operating range. By transferring reaction torque away from the operator's hands and arms, it promotes greater comfort during repetitive fastening tasks while supporting improved torque repeatability. Its durable construction is engineered for continuous-duty industrial use in manufacturing, automotive, electronics, appliance, and general assembly applications.
