A rotary torque sensor is an instrument for measuring dynamic torque with fastening applications. When paired with a torque analyzer, the rotary torque sensor is the ideal torque auditing tool for testing the torque applied to a fastener for assembly applications.
It’s an instrument that quickly attaches to a power tool’s drive without interfering with its ability to fasten a screw or bolt. As the tool’s operator, whether human or robotic, tightens the fastener, the rotary torque sensor measures how much torque is applied until the power tool shuts off. Rotary torque sensors measure torque under joint conditions, returning the most accurate results possible. The sensor is also compatible with measuring hand tools like torque wrenches and screwdrivers.
Keeping tools in calibration requires frequent torque verification. Over time, torque tools eventually drift out of tolerance. A rotary torque sensor is a vital tool for quality engineers to use for a torque verification process. The measurement results allow a user to verify that the tool is within its calibration limits, preventing under or over-torque fasteners that result in costly product defects and long-term liability results.
Torque measurement is a key component of any quality control process. Learn the key benefits of conducting a routine torque verification process with your assembly tools.
