Cleco CV-500R Pneumatic Impact Wrench | CV Composite Series | 8,500 RPM | 1,200 BPM | 1/2″ Drive | 780 ft-lbs Max Torque

Description

When you need controlled fastening power for general industrial production, maintenance, and overhaul work, the Cleco CV-500R delivers a practical balance of speed, torque, and handling in the CV Composite Series. This pneumatic impact wrench provides 780 ft-lbs maximum torque for high-force fastening and removal work, with 1,100 ft-lbs breakaway torque to help loosen stubborn fasteners that smaller shop tools may struggle to move. Its 1/2″ retaining ring drive supports common impact socket use while helping keep sockets secured during repeated run-down and removal tasks.The CV-500R runs at 8,500 RPM free speed for fast run-down before final impact load, and its 1,200 blows per minute impact rate helps deliver repeated hammering force under load. A twin hammer mechanism (an impact design that strikes from both sides of the anvil for balanced power transfer) gives the tool solid fastening performance in a lightweight 4.8 lb composite configuration. The variable speed trigger allows the user to feather tool output, making it easier to start fasteners cleanly and control removal speed in maintenance bays, production areas, and overhaul stations.Type: Pneumatic Impact Wrench | Series: CV Composite Series | Model: CV-500R | Drive Size: 1/2″ | Drive Type: Retaining Ring | Torque Range Max: 780 ft-lbs / 1058 Nm | Max Breakaway Torque: 1,100 ft-lbs | Blows Per Minute: 1,200 BPM | Free Speed: 8,500 RPM | Air Consumption: 40.5 SCFM | Weight: 4.8 lb | Air Inlet Size: 1/4″Features:CV Composite Series construction provides a useful combination of performance, comfort, and value for regular fastening work.Powerful twin hammer mechanism supports balanced impact energy for tightening and loosening threaded fasteners.Variable speed trigger lets the user control run-down speed and reduce the chance of overdriving fasteners during setup.Lightweight, ergonomically balanced body helps reduce handling effort during repeated production, maintenance, and overhaul tasks.1/2″ retaining ring drive is suited for common impact sockets used in plant maintenance, vehicle service, and general bolting work.8,500 RPM free speed helps move fasteners quickly before the tool reaches impact load.Made in USA: Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)Applications:Industrial production: Running down nuts and bolts on fixtures, assemblies, brackets, and general plant equipment.Maintenance and MRO: Removing worn fasteners, servicing machinery guards, and performing routine mechanical repair work.Fleet and vehicle service: Supporting shop fastening tasks where a 1/2″ drive impact wrench and 780 ft-lbs torque rating match the fastener size.Overhaul operations: Disassembly and reassembly work on equipment, subassemblies, and serviceable components.Garage and workshop use: General bolt removal, automotive repair, and mechanical projects when paired with a properly sized air supply.FAQs:Q: What does the retaining ring drive do?A: The retaining ring helps hold the impact socket on the square drive during use. It is convenient for general fastening work where sockets may be changed regularly.Q: Is 780 ft-lbs the same as breakaway torque?A: No. The 780 ft-lbs rating is the listed maximum torque range value, while the manufacturer lists 1,100 ft-lbs as the maximum breakaway torque for loosening fasteners.Q: What does the twin hammer mechanism mean?A: A twin hammer mechanism uses two hammer components to strike the anvil, helping provide balanced impact energy and strong torque delivery in a compact pneumatic impact wrench.Q: Can this tool be used with standard chrome sockets?A: No. Use only impact-rated sockets and accessories with pneumatic impact wrenches. Chrome hand sockets are not made for repeated impact loading and may crack or fail.Q: What air supply should be planned for this impact wrench?A: The manufacturer lists air consumption at 40.5 SCFM and a 1/4″ air inlet. Choose an air system, hose, and fittings that can maintain adequate airflow at the tool during use. .spec-accordion{width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin:1em auto;font-family:”Montserrat”,Arial,sans-serif;box-sizing:border-box}.spec-accordion *{box-sizing:border-box}.spec-accordion-toggle{width:100%;display:flex;justify-content:center;align-items:center;position:relative;background:#444;color:#fff;border:0;padding:14px 48px;font-family:”Bai Jamjuree”,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;cursor:pointer;text-align:center}.spec-accordion-toggle::after{content:”+”;font-size:22px;position:absolute;right:18px}.spec-accordion.open .spec-accordion-toggle::after{content:””}.spec-accordion-panel{display:none!important;width:100%;padding:16px 0 0}.spec-accordion.open .spec-accordion-panel{display:block!important}.spec-accordion-panel[hidden],.spec-accordion:not(.open) .spec-accordion-panel{display:none!important}.spec-table-wrapper{width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin:0 auto;overflow-x:visible!important;overflow-y:hidden;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch}.spec-table{width:100%!important;max-width:1200px;min-width:100%;margin:0 auto;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;font-family:”Montserrat”,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;color:#000}.spec-table th{background:#444;color:#fff;text-transform:uppercase;font-family:”Bai Jamjuree”,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:700;font-size:10px;padding:7px 4px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center;line-height:1.15;white-space:normal;word-break:normal}.spec-table td{padding:6px 4px;border:1px solid #eee;text-align:center;line-height:1.15;white-space:normal;word-break:normal}.spec-table .long-text{white-space:normal}.spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(even){background:#f7f7f7}.spec-table tbody tr:hover{background:#e5e5e5}.spec-table a{color:#0066cc;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;background:transparent;padding:0;border-radius:0;box-shadow:none}.spec-table a:hover{text-decoration:underline}.group-row td{background:#444;color:#fff;font-family:”Bai Jamjuree”,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;text-align:left}@media(max-width:640px){.spec-accordion,.spec-table-wrapper,.spec-table{width:100%;max-width:100%}.spec-accordion-toggle{font-size:14px;padding:13px 48px}}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table-wrapper{overflow-x:visible!important;overflow-y:visible}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table{width:100%;max-width:100%;min-width:0!important;border:0}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table thead{display:none!important}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table,.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table tbody,.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table tr,.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table td{display:block;width:100%}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table tr{margin-bottom:14px;border:1px solid #ddd;background:#fff}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(even),.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table tbody tr:hover{background:#fff}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table th,.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table td{white-space:normal!important}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table td{display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;text-align:right;border:0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 12px;font-size:13px;word-break:break-word}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table td::before{content:attr(data-label);font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;color:#444;text-align:left;flex:0 0 46%}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .spec-table td>a{word-break:break-word;background:transparent}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .group-row td{text-align:center;background:#444;color:#fff}.spec-accordion.is-mobile-table .group-row td::before{content:none} Available Variations and SpecificationsSKUTorque Range MaxBreakaway TorqueBlows Per MinuteFree SpeedAir ConsumptionWeightDrive SizeDrive TypeAir Inlet Size(Ft-Lb)(Nm)(Ft-Lb)(RPM)(SCFM)LbininCV-375P42056951016008000322.913/8 inPin Anvil or Pin Hole1/4CV-375R42056951016008000322.913/8 inRetaining Ring1/4CV-500P780105811001200850040.54.81/2 inPin Anvil or Pin Hole1/4CV-500R780105811001200850040.54.81/2 inRetaining Ring1/4CV-750P13001763150010005500648.23/4 inPin Anvil or Pin Hole3/8CV-750P-813001763150010005500648.31 inPin Anvil or Pin Hole3/8 (function(){ function initSpecAccordions(){ document.querySelectorAll(“.spec-accordion”).forEach(function(a){ if(a.dataset.specAccordionInit===”true”)return;a.dataset.specAccordionInit=”true”; var b=a.querySelector(“.spec-accordion-toggle”),p=a.querySelector(“.spec-accordion-panel”);if(!b||!p)return; var u=false; function m(){return(a.getBoundingClientRect().width||window.innerWidth)
