  • Patent number: 11040421
    Abstract: A torque tool for use subsea with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) includes a tool housing, a socket drive configured to rotate within the tool housing, and a drive mechanism configured to provide torque to rotate the socket drive within the tool housing. The drive mechanism includes a first torque electric drive motor configured to provide a first torque to the socket drive, and a second torque electric drive motor configured to provide a second torque to the socket drive different from the first torque. The first torque electric drive motor and the second torque electric drive motor are configured to together provide a third torque that is higher than the first torque and the second torque.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10987768
    Abstract: A torque tool to apply torque to a subsea component with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) includes a housing, a socket drive to rotate within the housing, and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism includes a latch to move with respect to the housing between an engaged position to engage the subsea component and a disengaged position to disengage the subsea component. The latch mechanism further includes a biasing mechanism to bias the latch from the engaged position towards the disengaged position, and/or an electric motor to move the latch from the disengaged position towards the engaged position.
