MAGNETICALLY LOCKING MECHANISM OF A TORQUE WRENCH
Disclosed in the present application is a magnetically locking mechanism of a torque wrench. It includes a main tube and an adjusting tube. One end of the adjusting tube is coaxially sleeved at the tail end of the main tube, and the other end of the adjusting tube is connected to an adjusting screw. A locking sheath is sleeved outside the adjusting tube at an end close to a head end of the main tube. An inner wall of one end of the locking sheath close to the head of the main tube is formed with a cam surface. A hole is opened in the adjusting tube at a position corresponding to the cam surface. An outer wall of the main tube is provided with a plurality of long groove along an axis of the main tube.
Monitoring of tool calibration status in automated tool control systems
A calibration monitoring system is provided to automatically monitor the calibration status of tools and other inventory items, such as upon the items being issued from or returned to the automated calibration monitoring system. The system identifies an inventory item, for example a calibrated torque wrench or other calibrated tool identified based on a unique identifying tag attached thereto. The system retrieves a calibration parameter value for the item from a calibration database, and completes a calibration measurement of the item based on the calibration parameter value. In the example, a torque measurement of the calibrated torque wrench can thus be automatically completed. In turn, the system determines a current calibration status of the item based on the calibration measurement, and selectively enables or disables issuance of the inventory item from the system according to the item's status as being in calibration or out of calibration.
HYPOCYCLOID REDUCTION GEARLESS SPRING WASHER TORQUE LIMITING DEVICE
Disposable torque-limiting gearless device with speed reduction. Torque-limiting interfaces having a plurality of undulations arranged around an axial bore or drive socket and separated by a plurality of transition regions configured to engage and disengage to provide torque transmission with predetermined torque limits at various rotational speeds and for amounts of actuations while remaining within a specified operational range. The reduction assembly integral to the gearless torque limiting assembly provides a drive shaft having an input segment, an eccentric segment, and an output segment, wherein the input segment and the output segment each have a centerline running along a same first axis, and wherein the eccentric segment has a center line running along a second axis, the second axis being parallel to the first axis and positioned a first distance away from the first axis.
THREADED SLEEVE FOR ASSEMBLING WITH HEAT INPUT IN A COMPONENT MANUFACTURED BY FDM PROCESS

The driving portion is disposed on an end of the main body. The torque mechanism is non-rotatably disposed within the main body. The adjusting mechanism includes a plurality of first engaging portions disposed on the main body and an adjusting member rotatably disposed on the main body, and the adjusting member includes a plurality of second engaging portions releasably engaged with the plurality of first engaging portions. The main body defines a center line parallel to the axial direction, and as viewed in the axial direction, hypothetical lines extending between the plurality of second engaging portions and the center line define a plurality of included angles, and at least two of the plurality of included angles have different angle sizes.
Method of calibrating torque using peak hold measurement on an electronic torque wrench
The present disclosure relates to an electronic torque tool, a calibration fixture, and a method for calibrating the electronic torque tool. The calibration includes applying a torque to the torque wrench and releasing the applied torque once the applied torque reaches a full scale calibration torque. The calibration fixture holds and displays a peak value of the applied torque and the torque wrench holds and displays a measured peak value of the applied torque. The measured peak value on the torque wrench may then be adjusted, by incrementing or decrementing the displayed value, to match the peak value displayed on the calibration fixture.
Torque Wrench
A torque wrench includes a driving device having a connecting rod pivotably connected to a body. The connecting rod is pivotably connected to a head of the driving device and is pivotable between first and second positions. The torque wrench has first and second lever arms corresponding to the first and second positions, respectively. A torque device is mounted to the body and presses against an abutting end of the connecting rod. An adjusting device is movably mounted to the body and is operatively connected to the torque device for setting an initial torque value. A measuring unit measures the initial torque value. An operating unit multiplies the initial torque value by a first or second correction coefficient corresponding to the first or second lever arm to obtain a corrected torque value. A display unit displays the corrected torque value.
