Method and device for tightening a threaded connection, preferably for connecting pipeline components, wherein the threaded connection to be tightened comprises a connecting element unit having an external thread, a connecting element unit having an internal thread, and a seal element arranged therebetween.

The present invention relates to an electronic medical and dental torque wrench for implant or prosthesis placement surgeries being dental or medical.

Such torque wrench is capable of sending the measurement data instantly and automatically to a console for recording, processing and analyzing the data, in addition to this being sterilized by autoclave without the need for disassembly/removal of the device's electronic circuit.

Further, the present invention refers to a system that comprises said torque wrench and the console for processing the data obtained.

An interactive software application on a mobile computing device is used to configure an electronic torque wrench via a wireless connection. The software application obtains torque specifications for a vehicle from a remote database. When the torque specification require that work pieces be torqued in an ordered sequence, the software application guides the technician through the sequence, but accommodates changes when the technician departs from the sequence.

A torque tool with a segmented warning effect includes: a tool body having a sensing unit, a processing unit for receiving a sensed value of the sensing unit and comparing the sensed value with a predetermined value to output a comparison value; at least two warning intervals formed by the comparison value of at least two different warning ranges; a warning assembly for providing warning by a primary warning unit and at least one secondary warning unit; the primary warning unit uses at least two colors for different warning intervals, and at least two illuminators of each secondary warning unit to warn at least two stages, the primary warning unit provides a primary warning for the warning interval, and the secondary warning unit at each warning interval forms secondary warnings to let users know about the operating torque quickly.

An electro-mechanical torque wrench has a main body. A trip mechanism is provided in the main body. The trip mechanism includes a long rod and a short rod arranged side-by-side. A release member is connected between the long rod and the short rod. When in operation, the long rod and the short rod are subject to torque to cause flex. When the torque reaches a preset torque value, the release member is released to generate a mechanical sound and vibration to prompt a user to stop operation. The long rod is provided with at least one strain sensor, and the strain sensor is connected with a display module for sensing the amount of deformation of the long rod and transmitting sensing information to the display module, so that the display module outputs a corresponding torque value in a digital display manner.

A display housing assembly has a base, a lens, and buttons. The base, lens, and buttons may be shaped to correspond with an external geometry of a tool housing, such as, for example, curved, arcuate or cylindrically shaped. The display housing assembly may also be assembled by molding the lens, molding the base over the lens, and molding the buttons over the base.

A torque wrench includes a body and a measuring device. The body includes a head portion and a rod portion. An end of the rod portion is connected with the head portion. The measuring device includes a strain gauge seat and a strain gauge. The strain gauge seat is arranged in the rod portion and is provided with a first recess and a deformation portion adjacent to the first recess. The strain gauge is connected to the deformation portion, thereby obtaining a precise torque value.

A method performed by a monitoring node associated with a tool communication network of monitoring energy flow in a tightening tool connected to the communication network includes receiving, from the tightening tool, parameter values relating to current fed (I) into the tightening tool, angle (α) of a rotor in the tightening tool and torque (T) applied to a joint by the tightening tool. The method also includes calculating energy input to the tightening tool based on the received parameter values, calculating energy transferred to the joint by the tightening tool based on the received parameter values relating to the torque applied to the joint by the tightening tool and the angle (α) of the rotor in the tightening tool. The method further includes detecting that the calculated energy input deviates from the calculated energy transferred to the joint by more than a predetermined value.

A torque wrench includes a main body, a driving portion, a torque-disengageable mechanism, a torque assembly and an adjusting assembly. The main body defines an axial direction and includes a handle and a tubular member which are assembled with each other. The handle has an opening which is open radially. The torque-disengageable mechanism is swingably disposed within the tubular member. The torque assembly is disposed in the main body. The adjusting assembly includes a position-limiting member, a slidable assembly and an adjusting member. The adjusting member is rotatably connected to the handle and corresponding to the opening. The adjusting member has a first threaded portion. The slidable assembly has a second threaded portion screwed with the first threaded portion.

An extensive shaft assembly includes a casing, an extensive shaft, a sensor, a warning apparatus, and a connecting apparatus. The extensive shaft extends throughout the casing. The sensor is connected to the extensive shaft. The warning apparatus includes an LED module and a light-guiding ring. The light-guiding ring includes a slit. The LED module is electrically connected to the sensor and located in the slit of the LED module. The connecting apparatus connects the light-guiding ring to the casing so that an external annular portion of the light-guiding ring is visible through a gap between the casing and the connecting apparatus.
