Electric & Pneumatic Torque Wrench Calibration

A.K.O.’s Pneumatic/Electric Wrench Calibration Systems are commonly added to existing Click, Hydraulic, or Multiplier calibration setups to expand tool coverage. The Pneumatic Wrench Calibration Systems use a Pressure Transducer to measure the Input Pressure and Torque Transducers to measure the Output Torque with high accuracy.

To ensure realistic calibration conditions, Pneumatic and Electric torque wrenches should be calibrated using a Run-Down fixture (TSD363). This simulates field use and allows the wrench’s motor to achieve full operating speed, which is essential for accurate readings.

Electric and Pneumatic Calibration Wrenches typically have a maximum capacity of 12,000 lbf∙ft. With a combination of A.K.O. torque transducers, these systems can be configured with a range from 50 lbf∙ft to 12,000 lbf∙ft. The Input Pressure Transducer has a range of 20 psi to 200 psi, providing flexibility across a wide range of applications.
