When under or over-torquing puts your products at risk, a break-over wrench can help support a quality control process by empowering an operator to prevent assembly errors. The versatile torque-limiting wrench allows engineers to improve process control by reducing the risk of over-tightening.
The break-over wrench tightens fasteners accurately and informs the operator when the torque is reached by deflecting at the pivot point near the tool’s end. The unique break-over mechanism gives an operator ample time to react once the target torque is achieved and alerts them to stop applying additional force to the fastener.
The small torque wrench profile enables the tool to fit into areas with tight clearances. The preset torque wrench allows a manufacturer to configure the head type and size per application.
Preset Break-Over Torque Wrench Improves Productivity
Modern, effective preset torque wrenches improve productivity by guaranteeing that the correct torque value is consistently applied to each fastener. Preset break-over wrenches are ideal for fastening applications where operators repeatedly assemble parts at the same torque setting. A preset wrench is similar to setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The wrench is preset to the application’s required torque value. The tool provides once torque is achieved.
A preset wrench doesn’t have an external torque adjustment scale. These tools have an internal torque adjustment mechanism for setting the torque value and preset using a hex key and a torque analyzer. The locking mechanism prevents accidental torque setting changes. Once the tool is set, the wrench’s end cap is sealed with a calibration sticker and ready to be used. However, if the preset torque value needs to be changed for a new fastening application, the flexible tool can easily be adjusted to a new preset torque value.
