Application 304

Torque Verification/Calibration

Application Summary

Reaction Torque Sensors are frequently used as auditing tools. This application is utilizing FUTEK’s TDF Torque Sensor to verify the precision of a torque wrench.

Products in Use

One Reaction Torque Sensor (TDF Series) paired with Instrumentation (IPM650, IHH500 or USB Solution).

Torque Verification/Calibration

How it Works

FUTEK’s TDF Series is an efficient tool to use when auditing torque wrenches.
In this application, the TDF Reaction Torque Sensor is fixed to a mounting plate and coupled to a torque wrench using a male/female adapter.
As the operator ratchets the torque wrench up and down, FUTEK’s TDF Sensor will measure the torque being applied.
These measurements are sent directly to a paired instrument. Depending on instrument selection, the operator can either view the data on a digital display or stream the data directly onto a PC.
If the data shows any anomalies, the torque wrench may be in need of recalibration to meet its intended spec.
