PETOL Hydraulic Friction Breakout Unit

Hydraulic friction breakout units.

 

 

The PETOL HYDRAULIC FRICTION BREAKOUT UNIT will not mar the surface of the parts being made up and broken out. Each hydraulic Friction Tong and Surgrip Vise Bushing is bored to grip a specific O.D. by friction alone. The units are powered by an electric motor and have a pressure gauge that reads out in ft.-lbs. of torque and PSI. For added safety, a controlled pressure relief valve allows the operator to adjust the working pressure for each job. When the set pressure is accomplished the system stops torquing.

NOTE: Maximum working loads range from 500 ft.-lbs. to 5,000 ft.-lbs. depending on size of tong being used.

Units are furnished with a pressure gauge that reads out in ft.-lbs. of torque and PSI. PETOL SURGRIP VISE BUSHINGS are held in place by a spring loaded plunger for quick change out.
Warning WARNING!
Do Not Exceed Maximum Working Load.
Overloading may result in injury or death.
Always use a load cell or other calibrated indicating device
to monitor the line pull on the tong to avoid overload.
Do not operate without a manual.
Follow OSHA, NSC, etc. standards, safe practices, and procedures.
