Shop Enerpac hydraulic torque wrench sockets for industrial bolting, maintenance, construction, power generation, oil and gas, and heavy-equipment applications. These heavy-duty sockets are designed for use with compatible square-drive torque wrenches where high torque and repeatable fastener engagement are required.
Select the correct socket by matching both the square-drive size of the torque wrench and the hex size of the fastener. The socket must also be suitable for the torque required by the application.
Choosing an Enerpac Hydraulic Torque Wrench Socket
Correct socket selection starts with the torque wrench. Identify the square-drive size of the wrench, then select a socket with the matching drive and the correct fastener size.
Enerpac hydraulic torque wrench systems are available with several square-drive configurations, so socket compatibility should always be confirmed before use.
Match the Square-Drive Size
The socket drive opening must match the square drive on the torque wrench. Common industrial torque wrench drive sizes include 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-1/2 inch, depending on the wrench model and torque capacity.
Match the Fastener Size
The socket hex size must fit the nut or bolt head correctly. An improperly sized socket can damage the fastener, reduce tool control, and create an unsafe bolting condition.
Confirm the Required Torque
Socket selection should also account for the torque being applied. Use sockets intended for powered industrial bolting applications and verify that the socket is suitable for the required torque range.
Hydraulic Torque Wrench Socket Applications
Enerpac torque wrench sockets are used in demanding bolting applications involving large fasteners and high clamping loads. Typical applications include flange assembly, structural bolting, heavy machinery, wind energy, power generation, industrial maintenance, pipelines, and process equipment.
Build a Complete Hydraulic Bolting System
These sockets are designed to work as part of a complete torque wrench system. Match the socket with the correct hydraulic torque wrench, hydraulic torque wrench pump, hoses, and reaction accessories for the application.

Enerpac Hydraulic Torque Wrench Socket FAQs
How do I choose the correct hydraulic torque wrench socket?
First match the socket drive size to the square drive on the torque wrench. Then select the socket hex size that matches the fastener. Finally, confirm that the socket is suitable for the torque required by the application.
Can I use a standard hand-tool socket with a hydraulic torque wrench?
Hydraulic torque wrenches can generate extremely high torque. Use sockets specifically designed and rated for powered industrial bolting rather than ordinary hand-tool sockets.
What square-drive sizes are used on Enerpac hydraulic torque wrenches?
Drive size varies by model and torque capacity. Enerpac hydraulic torque wrench systems commonly use industrial square drives such as 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-1/2 inch. Always verify the exact drive size for the wrench being used.
Does socket size affect torque wrench accuracy?
The socket does not change the wrench's calibrated torque setting when the correct compatible socket is used normally. However, an improperly fitting, damaged, or unsuitable socket can affect fastener engagement and safe operation.
Are Enerpac torque wrench sockets interchangeable between wrench models?
Compatibility depends primarily on square-drive size, socket dimensions, torque capacity, and available clearance. Do not assume a socket is suitable for another wrench simply because the drive size matches.
