Expand Tubes in Tight Corners with Ease

Introduction

In tube expansion jobs, accessibility is often a challenge. Boilers, heat exchangers, and condensers sometimes have tubes positioned in areas where standard drives simply cannot fit. For these tight and confined spaces, Pneumatic Right Angle Drives provide the perfect solution. Designed with a compact 90° head, these tools allow engineers to expand tubes in restricted areas without compromising torque, speed, or accuracy.

What is a Pneumatic Right Angle Drive?

A Pneumatic Right Angle Drive is a specialized tube expansion tool powered by compressed air, featuring a right-angled head (90°) that enables tube expansion in spaces where a straight rolling drive cannot be used. Despite its compact size, it retains the same high torque and precision expected from a standard pneumatic drive, ensuring strong and leak-proof joints even in difficult-to-reach locations.

Key Features and Models

Tubeex Engineering offers two reliable models of right angle drives:

72-RT-90 - Is small, light, and perfect for light-to-medium expansion projects in places with limited access.
72-RT-190 – Heavy-duty model capable of delivering up to 410 Nm torque, designed for larger and tougher expansion tasks in tight spaces.
Both models are engineered for maximum operator comfort while maintaining consistent expansion results.

Advantages of Right Angle Drives

Space-Saving Design – Perfect for tube sheets located close to walls or inside compact equipment.
High Torque Capability – Despite their small size, they deliver powerful torque for reliable tube rolling.
Flexibility in Operation – Enables engineers to access angles and corners that would otherwise be impossible.
Durable and Reliable – Designed for continuous industrial use in demanding environments.
Applications in Industry

Boilers – Expanding tubes in cramped furnace areas where straight drives cannot fit.
Heat Exchangers – Handling tube sheets with tight clearances or corner placements.
Condensers – Precision expansion in restricted cooling system designs.
Maintenance and Overhauls – Quick and reliable re-tubing work during shutdowns where space is limited.
Conclusion

When tube expansion jobs demand flexibility in tight or confined areas, Pneumatic Right Angle Drives offer the perfect combination of compact design, high torque, and reliable performance. With Tubeex models like the 72-RT-90 and 72-RT-190, engineers can confidently expand tubes in hard-to-reach spaces without sacrificing efficiency or precision.
