Pneumatic air tools reach into tight spaces

With a redesigned pneumatic drive, the LRC 20 from Suhner offers a set of hand tools that can grind, mill, and polish difficult-to-access places, such as the leading edges and corners of impellers and the inside of narrow pipes.

The new drive provides 20,000 RPM for user handwork. Under full load, the sound pressure level is 69.5 dB. A centrifugal governor regulates the speed accurately to save an average of 20 percent of the compressed air needed for conventional air tool technologies, the company says. The exhaust air is directed backwards, protecting the work surface from lubricating oil and reducing noise levels.

The system is offered with matching extensions that can be attached to the machine for each application.
