How often this needs to be done depends largely on how frequently the tool is used, as there aren’t strict or legal time periods for having it calibrated. It’ll have an analogue meter showing the amount of force being applied to the bolt. Watch the gauge carefully until it reaches the desired torque level, then stop applying force to the handle. RS PRO aims to be your go-to brand when you need quality, reliability and value for money. With all our parts subjected to rigorous testing by our in-house experts, we're confident we can supply you with the tools and parts you need for any purpose.

Smart Torque Wrench: Smart Torque Wrenches incorporate wireless connectivity such as Bluetooth or WiFi to connect to mobile devices or a computer network via an app or softwareAccurate torque measurement is crucial to ensure proper mechanical operations. Our innovative dial type torque wrenches offer many features to simplify measuring torque: From the trusted RS PRO brand, this dial torque wrench is a perfect tool for operators for professional applications. Unlike conventional torque wrenches, it features an analogue dial that is clear and easy to ready both in SI and Imperial units. It also contains two indicators(main and slave) for accurate reading and setting of torque value required.

It’s thought by some professionals that the performance is affected between 2,500-3,000 repetitions, so it’s recommended to have it calibrated once it reaches 2,500 repetitions. Featuring a lightweight aluminum handle, this durable wrench isn't length dependent, and it offers a variety of unique specifications Dial Torque Wrench: Dial Torque Wrenches utilize a dial or gauge with a calibrated scale and rotating needle to display the applied torque and indicate the torque value applied.

Adjustment Type

Digital Torque Wrench: Digital Torque Wrenches often feature a digital display to provide accurate torque readings. Torque settings can be adjusted and additional features like audible or visual alerts may display when the required torque has been applied It’s vital to regularly calibrate instruments, as their accuracy will reduce over time and with use. The permitted frame of calibration error is 5% – with any error beyond that potentially affecting the performance of the tool quite seriously, which could lead to liability for product failure.

Slipping Torque Wrench: Slipping Torque Wrenches disengage or slip once the pre-set torque is reached, preventing further torque application.

Scale Type, Dual Scale or Single Scale

Our dial torque wrenches are designed with a unique, recessed dial, which helps to minimize display damage. When it comes to tools, RS PRO is there to support you every step of the way, no matter how ambitious your project or installation. It’s recommended that all test and measure instruments are taken to accredited laboratories to be professionally calibrated.
