How to Calibrate Torque Testers or Torque Sensors

Posted by Mountz Torque July 27th, 2011 0 Comments   

Torque calibration equipment is the official means by which torque testers and torque sensors are calibrated and are traceable to National or International Standards, such as N.I.S.T, ISO. Mountz offers Calibration Wheels and Segment Arms for calibrating torque testers and torque sensors. These calibration instruments enable easy and accurate torque measurement and torque test calibration. Torque analyzers and torque sensors go out of calibration with use. Calibrating these instruments is a fine-tuning process of bring the equipment back within in tolerance.

Many industries like as medical, aerospace, nuclear and others continuously calibrate their torque measuring equipment to comply with government regulations. For companies that prefer to have torque calibration capabilities in-house when their calibration requirements become extensive and costly, the Mountz Calibration Wheels and Calibration Segment Arms are the only quality calibration equipment to select for your calibration lab.

 

Ensure Accurate, Proper Torque Control is Applied to Fasteners with Small Cam-Over Torque Wrenches

In maintenance and manufacturing applications where consistent and accurate torque control is absolutely necessary, Mountz, Inc. offers the TSC & TSP Cam-Over Torque Wrenches. These torque wrenches are designed to deliver reliable and precise torque control for torque applications that do not tolerate over-torque conditions. Improper torque control increases manufacturing costs and delays. Designed for variety of industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, medical, and packaging, the TSC & TSP torque wrenches ensure proper torque control.

Built with a cam-over design, the accurate TSC & TSP torque wrenches prevent a fastener or bolt from being over-torqued. The design action of the cam-over torque wrench is such that when the tool reaches its preset torque value the mechanism disengages from the drive thus limiting the torque applied.

From tightening large industrial bolts used in windmill gearbox assemblies to bolting maintenance applications for oil & gas pipelines and rigs, the Mountz electric torque multipliers achieve precision torque in a quick, cost-efficient manner.

The electric torque multiplier shuts-off when pre-set torque is achieved. It’s a non-impacting and operates at a smooth, continuous rotation; the electric torque multiplier increases speed and productivity, as it is faster than a hydraulic wrench and is less expensive. The tool eliminates the cumbersome set up time and slow ratcheting process of hydraulic wrenches. The electric torque multiplier is also ergonomically safer than the harmful hammering of impact wrenches and eliminates the frequent costly repairs of impact wrenches.

When installing or removing heavy-duty fasteners that require power, precision and safety, the Mountz electric torque multipliers is the solution. Without the hassles of air hoses, the electric torque multipliers simply plugs into a power outlet. The speed, frequency and torque output of electric torque multiplier are correspondingly regulated and controlled with a built-in controller.

Guide for Selecting a Rotary Torque Sensor: Brush vs. Brushless Models

Posted by Mountz Torque July 6th, 2011 0 Comments

The accurate measurement of torque applied to rotating drives and fastening applications is an important criterion for evaluating production efficiency and quality assurance in manufacturing and assembly. There are many process monitoring applications that require rotary style torque sensor be used to capture and record traceable measurement results.

A rotary torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, the rotary torque sensor is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. The torque sensor connects to a torque tester or torque meter.

This special class of torque sensors require the ability to rotate but be able to measure the torque applied to a joint. Historically rotary torque sensors provided this feature by using brushes, to contact the shaft measuring torque, in a similar manner to the operation of electric motors.

The typical brush type rotary torque sensor has a few disadvantages. These include:

1. Some additional torque is required to overcome the friction of the brushes.
2. There may be problems associated with “brush bounce” in applications of pulse tools with significant vibration.
3. More maintenance is required, especially in high usage applications, because of brush wear.
4. Additionally, high RPM operation will lessen the force on the brushes due to centrifugal force precluding operation at very high RPM
