Abstract: An electric tool adapted to perform tightening operations where torque is delivered in pulses to tighten a screw joint. The electric tool including an electric motor drivingly connected to an output shaft. A processor and a memory storing software instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the electrical tool, retrieve a first power level parameter p1 indicating a first power level to be used for torque pulses up to a torque threshold. And retrieve a second power level parameter p2 indicating a second power level to be used for torque pulses above the torque threshold. Then control the speed of the electric motor, so that the electric tool provide torque pulses on the output shaft with the first power level p1 until the torque threshold is reached. And control the speed of the electric motor, so that the electric tool provide torque pulses on the output shaft with the second power level p2.

Abstract: An iris-type diaphragm having a rear housing, a front plate, a plurality of iris blades, and a drive iris blade. The plurality of iris blades can be situated in substantially the same plane, with the iris blades being actuatable to adjust an aperture size. The drive iris blade can be in mechanical communication with an actuator and the plurality of iris blades. As the actuator displaces the drive iris blade, the drive iris blade in turn displaces the plurality of iris blades. Adjustable positioning of the iris-type diaphragm effectively tunes fluid harmonics and adjusts the signal to noise ratio, thus producing a more desirable fluid flow profile or signature.

Abstract: An electric pulse tool performs a tightening operation in which torque is delivered in pulses to tighten a screw joint. The electric pulse tool includes an output shaft, a torque sensor to determine a torque value associated with tightening of the screw joint, and an angle sensor to determine an angular displacement of the screw joint. The tool provides low torque pulses of a torque value of less than 15 percent of an electric pulse tool max torque value on the output shaft until a low threshold torque value is reached. Next the tool starts measuring an angular displacement of an element of the screw joint and provides tightening torque pulses of a torque value of more than 15 percent of the electric pulse tool max torque value on the output shaft. The tool stops providing torque pulses on the output shaft when a target parameter is reached.
