The Mountz Loading Bench is a user-friendly, laboratory-grade instrument that facilitates accurate torque wrench calibration with minimal physical effort. It simulates torque application conditions with ease and enhanced safety, ensuring a more accurate calibration. It enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and presetting, independent of human influence or transducer side and end load factors. The…
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…
You don’t want to be surprised by a torque wrench or torque screwdriver deemed “out of calibration.” After all, torque tools are precision instruments used to tighten critical, often safety-sensitive fasteners. Torque screwdrivers and wrenches go out of calibration with use. These hand tools should be tested and calibrated frequently based on the tool usage…
Manufacturers must measure torque to ensure a product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. A torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument for testing and tool calibration. Torque sensors measure the torque output of both hand and power tools. Engineers and calibration technicians can use the devices for various torque testing and auditing methods. Measuring…
Torque wrenches enable engineering marvels. In automotive assembly, they allow for screws, nuts, and bolts to be tightened to exactly the right specifications to hold for several thousands of miles of driving—without being so tight that they damage the fastener or become hard to remove. In commercial refrigeration repair, they tighten valves to the tightness…
If you’re operating a manufacturing or service facility that uses torque wrenches, knowing the cost of calibrating your tools is essential to generating an accurate projected summary of ongoing costs. Torque tools require calibration. If the products you create or service have torque tolerances specific enough to require torque tools, you’ll need to periodically calibrate…
Your tools are your business. When they’re down, so are you. So, when a torque tool you depend on gets broken, it’s only natural to want to get it fixed as soon as possible. If you’re not in the business of making or repairing torque tools, this can take some time, and time, as you…
A preset break-over torque wrench limits the amount torque applied to a fastener and improves the control of the bolting process by reducing the risk of both over and under tightening. Upon reaching the preset torque value, the tool “breaks” at a specific point along the tool’s shaft – usually at a pivot point near…
When calibrating or testing torque wrenches, often adapters are needed. Especially wrenches with open-end heads. Testing wrenches with different open end sizes will mean you need a variety of different size adapters. Why waste time with searching for different size adapters? The time needed to remove and insert different size adapters is unnecessary. An adapter…
Torque wrenches go out of calibration with use. Verifying the accuracy of a torque wrench is a key quality measurement that must be taken for a successful outcome. Two accepted methods may be used. Verification is a process step to validate if the wrench is in or out of calibration. This test can be conducted…
