A torque analyzer or a torque sensor is a finely tuned laboratory-grade instrument for measuring torque, calibrating and verifying torque tools. Torque measurement equipment requires regular calibration to ensure accuracy and precision. Calibration is the method of comparing tools and measuring devices to higher accuracy standards. Torque calibration equipment is the official means by which…
A torque sensor is a versatile measurement instrument that allows engineers to expand torque calibration and testing capacity. The BMX torque sensors, by Mountz, make it easy to meet the demands of testing multiple torque ranges for torque tools used in production, maintenance, and calibration labs. The torque sensors calibrate hand or power torque screwdrivers…
Lack of torque control has caused wheel detachment on vehicles, failures with life-saving medical instruments, and prevented electronic devices from functioning. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs with their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control is often overlooked or misunderstood. Manufacturers must-have resources…
Over time and daily usage, a torque tool will eventually deliver more or less torque than intended. Relying only on time-based calibration intervals for torque tools exposes manufacturers to risks. Discovering the device is found out of calibration generates uncertainty. How long has the tool been used to tighten fasteners while out of calibration? The…
How often do you verify a power tool calibration and repeatable performance? Over time or usage, these tools drift out of tolerance, and the risk reliability increases. Maintaining accuracy, repeatability, and safety quality standard are significant benefits for validating the power tool’s status. Measuring dynamic torque is a troubleshooting solution for evaluating the fastening joint…
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…
Regular tool calibration and torque testing processes ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. With its easy-to-use touch-screen interface, the Mountz EZ-TorQ III torque analyzer provides quick and easy torque tool validation and calibration. The torque tester allows a user to capture and store the torque readings. Data is stored on an SD card…
When testing the torque calibration of a tool, you can set up a target for the tool along with the tolerance percentage of that torque setting. The EZ-TorQ III torque analyzer’s touchscreen interface makes it simple and easy to set up torque testing parameters for a tool. Regular quality control programs like tool calibration and…
Measuring torque is essential for manufacturers to ensure their product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent torque failures. Insufficiently torqued fasteners can vibrate loose, and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners. The best torque is the correct torque. Whether…
Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialists®, hosted a torque webinar regarding nagging quality issues that manufacturers look to resolve daily or weekly. How to detect when a tool starts to drift out of calibration? Every industry which relies on torque tools do so for the same reason: accuracy and repeatability matters. Whether it’s in a ventilator,…
