Ingersoll Rand QTA040 Bench-Mounted Torque Reaction Arm is engineered to improve operator ergonomics, reduce reaction force, and enhance fastening consistency during precision assembly operations. Featuring a 29.5 ft-lb torque capacity and a 25-inch maximum working reach, this bench-mounted reaction arm absorbs the reaction forces generated by torque-controlled assembly tools while providing an extended operating range for larger workstations. By transferring reaction torque away from the operator, it helps minimize fatigue, improve tool control, and support accurate, repeatable fastening throughout continuous production.
As part of Ingersoll Rand's Assembly Tools lineup, the QTA040 securely mounts to a workbench while allowing smooth articulation across its working envelope. Its longer reach enables operators to access multiple fastening points without repositioning the reaction arm, while the durable construction is engineered to withstand continuous industrial use. The QTA040 is an ideal solution for manufacturing facilities seeking improved ergonomics, fastening precision, and operator productivity in low- to medium-torque assembly applications.
