A Tradition of Innovation

The story of alkitronic® began in the early 1980s with Albert Kipfelsberger’s revolutionary invention: an electric torque multiplier with automatic shut-off. This was a breakthrough in bolting technology, aimed at solving the shortcomings of traditional hydraulic tools, including imprecision, slow operation, and maintenance challenges.

This innovation marked the first in a series of patented developments that have shaped the bolting industry. By offering faster, more accurate, and cleaner torque solutions, alkitronic® established itself early on as a technology-driven brand focused on advancing safety, repeatability, and operational efficiency.

Today, the company continues to pioneer new technologies—from brushless synchronous motors and ergonomic tool designs to smart apps that enhance documentation and traceability in bolting operations.

The alkitronic® EB-S – Award-Winning Design and Technology

The EB-S battery torque multiplier exemplifies alkitronic’s commitment to user-focused design and innovative performance. Featuring a brushless synchronous motor, anti-glare OLED display, and a one-finger trigger system, the EB-S delivers smooth operation with minimal wrist strain. A patented technology reduces radial force on the operator to just 1 Nm.

Available in seven models with torque ranges up to 6,000 Nm, the EB-S integrates seamlessly with documentation software and meets modern standards for efficiency, safety, and ergonomics.

Its recognition by both the Red Dot Award and iF DESIGN AWARD in 2023 underscores the company’s leading position in industrial tool design.
