CALIBRATION DEVICE FOR DYNAMOMETRIC TOOLS

Calibration device for dynamometric tools, such as for example a torque wrench (C) for tightening, comprising a sliding mechanical structure (2) associated with a frame of a test bench (B), which allows to impart a force and a controlled rotation in such a torque tool, said tool having its clamping tool (T) engaged in a brake (F) placed on the bench (B), which simulates a clamping of a bolt. Said mechanical structure comprises a pair of longitudinal bars (3) which can be connected to said bench, on which at least one guide (4) is mounted transversely, and on this guide there is a support (5) which slides by means of movement means in the transverse direction (Y) and is provided with constraint means for the tool body, so that the tool is pivoted on the brake (F) with its tool head (T) and can rotate to simulate a tightening brake F when the support (5) is moved along this guide (4). Said means for constraining the tool body to the support (5) comprise a slide (7) to which the handle (I) of the tool is fixed, which slides along a slider (8) parallel to the wrench which at one of its ends is pivoted on the brake fulcrum (F) and can rotate around it, said slider (8) being constrained to the support (5), so that the support (5) allows the slider and the tool to rotate together.
