Torque Tools

Torque tools such as a torque wrench or torque screwdriver are designed to apply a specific amount of torque to a fastener, such as a nut or bolt. These tools can also be calibrated and measured to ensure they are always outputting the correct amount of torque.

Frequently Asked Questions about Torque Tools

What are torque tools used for?

Torque tools are used to apply a specific amount of force to fasteners, such as bolts and nuts, ensuring they are tightened to the correct specification without over or under-tightening.

Why is accurate torque important?

Accurate torque ensures the integrity and safety of mechanical joints. It prevents damage to parts and maintains the proper tension, which is crucial for the performance and safety of machinery and vehicles.

How do I choose the right torque tool?

Consider the torque range, the type of fasteners you'll be working with, and the tool's accuracy. Also, think about whether you need a manual, digital, or hydraulic torque tool based on your specific needs.

Can torque tools be calibrated?

Yes, torque tools should be regularly calibrated to maintain their accuracy. Calibration ensures the tool provides the correct torque and should be performed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. We can also calibrate your torque tool for you.

Is there a difference between dynamic and static loading?

Yes there is. Dynamic load means the weight/torque application has gone through tension peaks, which could happen when using a click torque wrench because of the click mechanism. Static loading simply means that weight/torque has been applied without any tenion peaks, meaning it has been applied in a linear fashion.
