Measure and record manually applied torque. These sensors convert torque into an electrical signal that your computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) can read.

Measure the twisting force needed to tighten or loosen caps and knobs with these torque gauges. Four adjustable gripping posts clamp round and irregularly-shaped containers. Twist the top by hand to measure force or use it to calibrate your capping machine, so it applies the right amount of force in a production line. For the most accurate performance, the maximum torque you’re applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range. If you accidentally exceed the torque range, these gauges have overload protection to prevent damage to the measuring system.

View torque measurements, change operating modes, and switch units of measurement on the LCD screen. Store data on the microSD card, transfer it to your devices via Bluetooth or USB, or print using the DB9 cable. The I/O cable connects to controllers to operate other devices dependent on torque force readings.

Measure the force of hand and non-impact electric torque screwdrivers to keep fasteners from failing due to under or overtightening. A chuck-like adapter simulates your fastener joint during testing. These gauges record the first time you reach the maximum torque (peak down), the maximum torque (peak), and torque as it's measured (real-time). For the most accurate performance, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range. A track mode lets you monitor fluctuating torque. For quick pass/fail testing, these gauges have programmable high/low set points with lights and an alarm. They include a calibration certificate with test data traceable to NIST that states they have passed tests for accuracy.

Cords—Use data acquisition software and a USB cord (sold separately) to analyze results and connect to computers, laptops, or tablets that run on Microsoft Windows.

Monitor torque as you apply it—these gauges mount between your torque tool and your fastener. Engage the fastener to track both torque and the angle of rotation for each crank of your tool (snug torque) before you've reached the final torque. This gives you a better idea if fasteners are consistently tightened than measuring torque alone. These gauges are often used with nutrunners and click-style torque wrenches in the automotive and aerospace industries. Store up to 999 maximum torque (peak) and rotation values, including the date and time of each test, or transfer to your computer to view in an Excel file. CE marked, they meet European safety standards.

For the most accurate readings, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range. They are not for use with impact tools.
