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…
Torque sensors measure the torque output of hand and power tools, as well as calibrating torque tools. They work together with torque analyzers, which interpret the results. These tests are intended to verify the calibration of hand, electric, and pneumatic torque screwdrivers and nutrunners. Companies which rely on torque tools can reduce lost product and…
A lot happens in a day at the factory. Noise levels rise and fall. Temperatures climb and plummet. Shifting vibrations rattle and roll through the building and everything in it. Workers come and go, some passing tools between them and using them with different amounts of force. Tools can drop, or get mucked, or misused.…
This article is about using rotary torque sensors to measure torque during the torque verification and auditing process. But first, let’s talk football. Recently, a professional field goal kicker blew an easy shot. It was his second in the game and his fifth in two weeks. You can call it coincidence or cause-and-effect, but his…
In “The Twits,” a short story by Roald Dahl, Mr. and Mrs. Twit, a disagreeable older married couple, play a series of nasty pranks on each other. One of these tricks is particularly illuminating for manufacturers and repair shops relying on torque tools to properly assemble products or handle maintenance jobs. To get back at…
Torque calibration equipment is the official means by which torque testers and torque sensors are calibrated and are traceable to National or International Standards, such as N.I.S.T, ISO. A calibration is the method of comparing tools and measuring devices to higher accuracy standards. Mountz offers Calibration Wheels and Segment Arms for calibrating torque testers and…
