Drehmomentwerkzeuge

Drehmomentwerkzeuge are specialized tools designed to apply a specific amount of rotational force, or torque, to a fastener. They are crucial in applications where precise tightening is essential to prevent over-tightening, which can lead to damage or failure, or under-tightening, which can result in loosening and instability. The most common type is the torque wrench, which typically features a mechanism that indicates when the desired torque has been reached.

There are several types of torque wrenches, each with its own operating principle. Click-type torque wrenches are widely used; they emit an audible and tactile click when the preset torque is achieved. Beam-type torque wrenches use a flexible beam that bends under load, with a pointer indicating the applied torque on a scale. Dial-type torque wrenches employ a dial indicator to display the torque. Electronic torque wrenches offer digital readouts and often include memory functions and audible/visual alerts.

The correct use of drehmomentwerkzeuge involves setting the tool to the specified torque value, applying smooth and steady pressure, and stopping immediately upon reaching the target torque. Proper calibration and maintenance are vital to ensure accuracy and reliability. These tools find extensive use in automotive repair, aerospace, manufacturing, and any field where fastener integrity is critical for safety and performance. Their application ensures that components are assembled with the correct tension, contributing to the overall durability and functionality of the assembled product.
