Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components. Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:…
Once a torque specification is determined, the joint should be audited to verify the product has been fastened to the proper torque value. It is important to audit the joint for accuracy and to ensure your product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead…
WHAT Is TORQUE? Torque is a “turning” or “twisting” force and differs from tension, which is created by a straight pull. However, we use torque to create a tension. HOW? As the nut and bolt are tightened, the two plates are clamped together. The thread angle in the bolt converts the force applied into tension…
An electronics manufacturing company uses torque testers along with benched mounted torque sensors to audit 150+ pneumatic torque tools on a daily basis. Each pneumatic tool has bar-code on it, which identifies the tool. A unique tool test (torque setting and tolerance setting) is set-up for each pneumatic tool and stored inside the PTT torque…
A torque meter is a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque meter is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. The PTT torque meter makes ISO 9001 documentation faster and easier. As an advanced torque…
The TorqueLab®, LTT-Series, is a torque tester that offers portability, expandability and documentation control. Meeting the demands to test multiple torque ranges for various torque tools used in production, maintenance and calibration labs, the LTT features the EZ-Plug & Play technology, which is an auto-recognition system for Mountz torque sensors. The torque tester is designed…
Torque measurement is utilized in three areas of assembly. Controlling torque is quintessential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. Prior to Assembly Torque testing equipment, like electronic torque tester and torque sensors are used before assembly process for tool setup or conducting tool capability studies. For tool setup, the tool crib…
