Torque Wrenches Controlled Tightening,
Torque Wrenches
Torque wrenches serve the purpose of tightening fastenings with exceptional precision, enabling users to apply a predetermined torque, thereby eliminating the risk of under or over tightening.
Varieties of Torque Wrenches
Breaking Torque Wrench (or break-over torque wrench): Equipped with a pivot point or hinge, this type of torque wrench "breaks over" upon reaching the pre-set torque, allowing the handle to move or rotate, indicating the application of the required torque.
Slipping Torque Wrench: Slipping torque wrenches disengage or slip once the pre-set torque is achieved, preventing further application of torque.
Click Torque Wrench: Click torque wrenches utilize a mechanical mechanism that produces an audible or tactile click when the pre-set torque is attained.
Dial Torque Wrench: Dial torque wrenches employ a dial or gauge with a calibrated scale and rotating needle to display the applied torque, providing an indication of the torque value applied.
Digital Torque Wrench: Digital torque wrenches typically feature a digital display for precise torque readings. These wrenches offer adjustable torque settings, and additional features such as audible or visual alerts may signal when the required torque is reached.
Smart Torque Wrench: Smart torque wrenches incorporate wireless connectivity, such as Bluetooth or WiFi, enabling connection to mobile devices or computer networks via dedicated apps or software.
Torque wrenches are available in popular drive sizes, including 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, and 3/8 inch, from reputable brands like Wera and Norbar.
