Frequently asked questions
What threading capacity does the pneumatic TM 16 P / R 1000 offer?
See "Threading capacity" in the technical table: typically from M3 to M30.
The capacity refers to mild steel. For stainless steel or hard materials, reduce the maximum diameter by 20-30%.
What type of spindle does it mount?
See "Spindle taper" in the technical table.
Standard GT type spindles allow quick tool change via tap holders. Check compatibility with the taps supplied.
Is the spindle speed adjustable?
Professional models offer continuous or multi-step speed adjustment.
Low speeds for large taps (>M20), high speeds for small taps and soft materials.
Does it have an articulated reaction arm?
Professional bench models have an articulated arm for quick workpiece positioning.
The articulated arm balances the weight of the head and reduces operator fatigue in repeated cycles.
What power supply does it require?
See "Voltage" in the table: typically 230 V single-phase for benchtop, 400 V three-phase for industrial.
Models with motors over 1.5 kW require a three-phase line. Check availability in the workshop.
