Why Choose the Atlas Copco EP8XS HRX42?
The Atlas Copco EP8XS HRX42 combines a 22–40 Nm torque range with a 7,000 r/min free speed and a compact pistol configuration. For buyers, the main selection points are whether the required fastening torque falls within this range, whether the M8 bolt size and supplied output configuration are compatible with the application, and whether the available compressed-air system can support the required pressure and airflow.
Its 1 kg weight and 172 mm overall length should also be considered for repetitive assembly work, particularly where operator handling, workstation clearance and access around the fastening point are important factors.
Compressed-Air Requirements
The EP8XS HRX42 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 a 10 mm recommended hose size together with a 1/4 inch air inlet thread.
Before installation, buyers should confirm that the compressed-air supply at the workstation can maintain the required pressure and airflow and that the hose and air connection are compatible with the tool.
