Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus for remote-controlled connection nd disconnection of threaded bolts in a flange joint located in a radioactively-ladened cell. The apparatus includes a remotely controllable impact wrench carrying an extension shaft which is driven by the output shaft of the wrench. As a means of pulling the threaded bolts out of the through bores passing through the rear flange when a flange joint is being disconnected, a magnetic coil is arranged around the extension shaft. A voltage is applied to the coil thereby developing a magnetic force for holding the threaded bolts in the socket thereby permitting the threaded bolts to be moved away from the flange with the impact wrench.
