The Loading Bench by Mountz Inc. is a laboratory grade instrument designed to enable accurate torque wrench calibration with less physical effort. The Loading Bench simulates torque application conditions with minimum effort and enhanced safety for the calibration technician assuring a more accurate calibration. The calibration instrument enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and presetting, independent of human influence or transducer side and end load factors. The Mountz Inc. Loading Bench is designed to calibrate torque wrenches in accordance with International Standards ISO6789:2007.
The drive system of the Loading Bench assures the load application eliminates potential operator induced test errors. Built for durable use, the Loading Bench reduces the operator effort required to attain and sustain torque during the calibration process. The Loading Bench features a large handle wheel, which operates in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to allow smooth manual loading.
A torque wrench is considered a measuring tool and must be properly calibrated and maintained on a preventative maintenance and calibration schedule. The adjustable design of the Load Bench allows it to accommodate various size torque wrenches that can be tested with the unit. The gearbox design of the Loading Bench allows for high torque to be applied with minimum effort required from the calibration technician.
Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine-tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Torque testers can also be used for quick tools tests on the line or in the lab to determine whether torque tools are holding a given setting.
A regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Torque testing also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components.
The TorqueLab® LTT is a laboratory grade instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications and is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. As an advanced torque controlling, monitoring and documentation solution, LTT torque tester is used for testing or calibrating hand torque screwdrivers, electric screwdrivers, pneumatic screwdrivers, torque tools as well as a torque wrench calibration. The LTT torque analyzer features the EZ-Plug & Play technology, which is an auto-recognition system with Mountz torque sensors.
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.
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
The TorqueLab®, LTT-Series, is a torque tester that offers portability, expandability and documentation control. Meeting the demands to test multiple torque ranges for various torque tools used in production, maintenance and calibration labs, the LTT features the EZ-Plug & Play technology, which is an auto-recognition system for Mountz torque sensors. The torque tester is designed for torque calibration, joint testing, auditing or for force and load measurement or verification of load cells.
The EZ-Plug & Play feature of the LTT facilitates and expedites the process of setting up and running tool tests, as well as the transfer, analysis and storage of test data for ISO/SPC documentation purposes. The combined hard-software manufacturing solution offers tool testing, graphing capabilities and a graphical menu for easy navigation.
As an advanced torque controlling, monitoring and documentation solution, LTT enables operators and engineers to ensure product quality, safety and reliability promptly in a variety of manufacturing environments. The LTT torque tester can calibrate hand screwdrivers, pneumatic tools, torque wrenches, and power tools to avoid over tightening problems such as stripped threads and under tightening problems, which can increase liability and risk of recall.
