Atlas Copco EP5XS HR42 ErgoPulse Non-Shut-Off Tool
The Atlas Copco EP5XS HR42 is a pistol-type non-shut-off pneumatic pulse tool designed for professional fastening and industrial assembly applications. It provides a torque range of 5–12 Nm and a free speed of 8,500 r/min, giving the model a technical profile suited to lower-torque fastening processes where high operating speed is required.
The EP5XS HR42 is specified for M6 bolt size applications and has a 1/4 inch output size. Its output type is listed as female hexagon, while the supplied square-drive specification is 1/4 inch. The tool has an overall length of 165 mm, a CS distance of 21 mm and a weight of 0.8 kg, making its dimensions important considerations for compact or repetitive assembly workstations.
For pneumatic operation, the tool has a nominal working pressure of 6.3 bar and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar. Air consumption under load is 9 l/s, while the recommended hose size is 8 mm and the air inlet thread is 1/4 inch.
Applications
The Atlas Copco EP5XS HR42 is intended for industrial fastening applications requiring a 5–12 Nm torque range, M6 bolt size capability and a free speed of 8,500 r/min. Its pistol configuration and compact dimensions make it suitable for assembly processes where these torque, speed and access requirements match the fastening task.
As a non-shut-off model, the EP5XS HR42 belongs to the Atlas Copco ErgoPulse – Non-shut-off range. Buyers can compare models in this category according to torque range, bolt size, output configuration, speed, air requirements and physical dimensions.

Why Choose the Atlas Copco EP5XS HR42?
The Atlas Copco EP5XS HR42 combines a 5–12 Nm torque range with a high free speed of 8,500 r/min and a compact 165 mm overall length. For buyers, the main selection points are whether its torque range matches the fastening requirement, whether the M6 bolt size and output configuration are compatible with the application, and whether the available compressed-air system can support the specified airflow and pressure.
Its 0.8 kg weight should also be considered for repetitive assembly operations, particularly where tool handling and access around the fastening point are important parts of workstation design.
Compressed-Air Requirements
The EP5XS HR42 operates at a nominal working pressure of 6.3 bar and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar. Air consumption under load is 9 l/s. Atlas Copco specifies an 8 mm recommended hose size together with a 1/4 inch air inlet thread.
Before installation, buyers should confirm that the compressed-air supply can maintain the required pressure and airflow at the workstation and that the hose and connection sizes are compatible with the tool.
Noise, Vibration and Standards
The EP5XS HR42 has a sound pressure level of 78 dB(A), measured according to ISO15744 with a sound uncertainty of 3 dB(A). Its listed vibration value is <2.5 m/s2 according to ISO28927-2.
The model is EAC certified. Its listed EC standard is EN ISO 11148-6:2012 and the applicable EU directive is 2006/42/EC (MD). UK legislation is listed as S.I. 2008/1597, with EN ISO 11148-6:2012 listed as the UK standard.
