Snap-on TE50FFUAC Torque Wrench, Torqometer U.S. Follow-up Dial, 3/8″ Drive, 50 ft-lb, with Chart

Description

Behind every check-in desk, an airport runs long chains of belts, rollers and sorters. Big new terminals such as Long Thanh add many more. When a motor, a gearbox or a diverter comes off for service, its bolts need the right torque on the way back. The Snap-on TE50FFUAC torque wrench suits that work, because its second needle records the torque achieved.

Why the follow-up needle helps night crews

Baggage teams often work in short night windows when flights stop. So there is little time to stare at a dial during the pull. With the follow-up design, one needle marks the target and the other shows the torque achieved. Instead, the technician can pull, release, and then read the TE50FFUAC in good light. After that, the value goes straight onto the work order.

TE50FFUA catalog data

Snap-on prints these numbers in the US Reading table of catalog CAT1500i, along with the case code. Per the catalog, adding a C to the stock number orders a version with a certificate of calibration. That makes the TE50FFUAC the C form of the TE50FFUA. However, Lost in HCM’s title says with Chart, so confirm the paperwork with them.

Conveyor joints for the Snap-on TE50FFUAC torque wrench

• Gear motor mounting bolts on belt conveyors.
• Take-up and bearing block bolts after a belt change.
• Diverter and pusher bracket bolts on sorter lines.
• Guard and side frame bolts after a jam clearance.

Still, large drive pulleys and frame splices may need more torque than this dial covers. So size those joints to a bigger wrench.

Reading the 2% band

Lost in HCM lists the TE50FFUAC under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on applies that grade from 20% of full scale up to full scale. Here, the band therefore starts at 10 ft-lb, or about 14 N·m. For small sensor brackets below that, use a lighter tool.

Care between shifts

Baggage halls are dusty, and tools ride on carts between zones. Therefore, keep the Snap-on TE50FFUAC torque wrench in a case when it is not in use. Also zero the follow-up needle before every bolt, so the last value does not carry over. Snap-on rates its dial wrenches for 0 to 100 °F, or about -18 to 38 °C, which covers a cooled hall. Then plan recalibration on a fixed cycle.

Baggage system questions

Is 50 ft-lb enough for conveyor work?

It covers many motor, bearing and bracket bolts. Full scale equals about 68 N·m, so heavier splices need a larger wrench.

How long is the TE50FFUAC?

Snap-on lists the base TE50FFUA at 12-1/2 inches, a handy length between conveyor frames.

Does it ship with a case?

The catalog pairs this size with a PB9 storage case. Ask Lost in HCM what comes with your unit.
