- Description
- Washington Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site (SRS) for the Department of Energy, solicits expressions of interest from companies wishing to license or enter into a Funds-In Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to further develop a Magnetic Torque Wrench. Engineers at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) have developed the Magnetic Torque Wrench to provide immediate and clearly recognizable feedback to the operator once a preset torque limit has been reached. Its unique construction makes it ideal for use in environments where traditional beam and click or electronic torque wrenches are inappropriate (i.e. wet, caustic, noisy etc). The torque settings for tightening and loosening can be simultaneously and independently controlled, allowing for smoother transition of operation. The design of the wrench is robust enough so that no accidental shifts in settings will be caused by ordinary handling. Any company interested in licensing this device or participating in a Funds-In CRADA must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later that 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to the Point of Contact identified in this Notice. This is not a procurement; it is a request for parties interested in Licensing this invention or participating in a Funds-In CRADA only. Original Point of Contact Dale K. Haas (803) 725-4185, fax: (803) 725-4988, email: dale.haas@srnl.doe.gov or address: Washington Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A, Room #238, Aiken, SC 29808.
