Types of Torque

The plumbing torque wrench has a T-shaped handle that is preset to the desired level of torque strength, eliminating guesswork in No Hub soil pipe installations. This ensures proper coupling tightness for strong, leak-free joints.

Detailed view of the torque display scale on a beam type torque wrench. This shows a torque of about 160 in.lbf or 18 N·m. This shows a torque of about 160 in.lbf or 18 N·m. The most basic form of torque wrench consists of two beams.

Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The object rotates about an axis, which we will call the pivot point, and will label 'O'. We will call the force 'F'.

What Is the Difference between a Beam-Type and a Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench? What Is the Difference between a Beam-Type and a Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench?

The most popular torque wrench is the click-type, or its digital counterpart, so those are what we have focused on with our recommendations. However, the following rules and characteristics can be applied to any kind of torque wrench.

Mechatronic Torque Wrench The torque of these wrenches are measured using the same method as a click wrench, but the torque is measured the same way as an electronic torque wrench. This tool can give you both electronic and mechanical measurements, which can then be documented and shared through a wireless transmission.

Programmable Speed, Angle, Auto Reverse and Soft Start Options with an ESD Brushless Electric Torque Screwdriver Posted by Mountz Torque August 30th, 2012 0 Comments Tweet The YF-Series is a new line of ESD brushless electric torque screwdrivers from Mountz, Inc.

Torque Safe Slipper Wrenches Ideal in a Production environment where high repeatable accuracy of the same torque value is crucial. Medium torque range production torque wrenches, incorporating ‘slip free’ technology completely eliminating the possibility of over tightening.
