The SSW-40 pneumatic spinning wrench is designed to spin drill pipe and collars from 3-1/2" to 9-1/2" OD. It is designed as a pair of mirror image sub-assemblies, each containing a powerful air motor and a rugged gearbox that drive a pair of steel rollers. Connected by and adjustable linkage, an air bellows provides a simple approach to achieving the powerful clamping forces needed to drive and shoulder the pipe with authority. No additional components are required, no rollers to change, and maintenance is straightforward, simple, and easy.
Controls are large and easily operated with a gloved hand. Their action is intuitive Clamp the jaws by pressing the air valve, unclamp by pulling it; you push the throttle lever in to spin in, you pull it to spin out. Simple and direct.
