Torque Tools are devices used to measure and control torque, which refers to the force that causes an object to rotate or change direction. These tools are important in many industries such as manufacturing, maintenance, and research, especially in applications that require high-precision tightening or loosening of screws.
Types of Torque Tools
1. Analog Torque Tools
- Dial Torque Wrench uses a needle to display the measurement value on a rotating scale. The reading is easy and clear, suitable for applications that require basic accuracy.
- Beam Torque Wrench measures torque by moving the plate according to the force applied. It is simple and accurate.
2. Digital Torque Tools
- Digital Torque Wrench uses a digital sensor to measure torque and displays the results in digital form. It often comes with additional functions such as data logging and presetting torque.
- Electronic Torque Gauge uses an electronic sensor to measure torque. It can provide accurate measurement values and has additional functions such as calculating average values and recording results.
3. Hydraulic Torque Tools
- Hydraulic torque wrenches use energy from oil flow to create torque. They are suitable for applications that require high torque and precise control.
4. Torque Guns
- Torque guns are used to tighten or loosen screws that require high torque. They are often used in industry and manufacturing.
Applications of torque measuring tools
- Maintenance and repair Used to tighten or loosen screws with specific torque requirements, such as tightening nuts in engines or equipment.
- Manufacturing Used to check and control the torque in assembly to achieve the specified accuracy.
- Research and development Used in experiments and research that require precise torque control.
