Positech’s pneumatic ReactionArm® (RA), a torque reaction arm, absorbs shock, torsional forces and impact force from power tools; therefore, reducing carpal tunnel injury and cumulative trauma disorders. This reaction arm moves up and down without pushing any buttons with very little effort and prevents any force of the power tool through the workers’ wrists, arms and upper bodies by absorbing the shock of the attached power tool. A power tool mounted on a Reaction arm can easily be moved and positioned throughout the work cell. A variety of styles, capacities and mounting options provide versatility.

Requires 90 psi (6.21 bar) clean, dry air to operate at rated capacity

*Includes payload and power tooling; increasing arm length reduces payload capacity. Lift capacity dependent upon arm length.
