torque wrench

A torque wrench is a tool used to tighten bolts and nuts to a precise, predefined torque. This is especially important to ensure an optimal connection without over - or under-tension. Torque is measured in Newton meters (Nm).

Application

Torque wrenches are commonly used in fields such as mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, bicycle assembly, and maintenance work. They ensure that connections are neither too tight nor too loose, which could lead to damage or safety hazards.

Species

Mechanical (click wrench): Emits an acoustic signal (“click”) when the set torque is reached.
Electronic/digital: Shows the torque on a display and gives a signal.
Beam torque wrench: Simple and inexpensive option for less precise applications.

A torque wrench is essential to achieve the correct tension and guarantee a long-term, safe and functional connection.
