Torque Calibration System Accessories
A.K.O. offers additional accessories to make A.K.O. products the most complete systems available, from torque calibration system accessories that turn the handle of a torque wrench, to fixtures that hold a torque watch perfectly perpendicular for precise measurement. We also offer add-ons that make it possible to test different types of tools other than Torque tools. We have accessories that can be added to A.K.O.’s Click Wrench Calibration Systems to calibrate Dynamometers, Force Gauges, Tensiometers, and Compression Gauges. These components are used in conjunction with a TSD2044, a one-foot Torque arm, that attaches to the Torque Transducer and allows the technician to measure direct Pound readings. These torque calibration system accessories offer a safer alternative than stacking weights to calibrate these types of tools.
All of the systems that A.K.O. manufactures have the ability to test a wide range of Torque tools for precise calibration. The Click Wrench Calibration Systems, with additional accessories, can also test lower capacity Torque Multipliers, Hydraulic Wrenches and Pneumatic/Electric Torque Guns. The higher capacity TSD__035 systems that AKO offers are modular and can also be expanded to calibrate high capacity Hydraulic Wrenches, Torque Multipliers and Pneumatic/Electric Torque Guns all on one system. This keeps the footprint that the systems take up, as small as possible. This is especially important for Mobile or Smaller Labs where space is limited.
Lower Capacity Torque Calibration System Accessories
TSD1016
The TSD1016 Precision Torque Watch and Gauge Test System is a rugged worm geared rotary actuator designed to precisely rotate a Torque Watch or Gauge to a defined torque value and hold the device for data acquisition or adjustment. The TSD1016 can be mounted on an existing A.K.O. torque loader setup, TSD1016-LM, or be used with an A.K.O. torque transducer as a stand-alone system, TSD1016-FS
The manually actuated TSD1016 ensures precise calibration by keeping the torque watch or gauge in line with the torque transducer eliminating side load. It also allows the technician to hold a torque value applied to the tool steady while comparing the readings. Our standard and special plate adapters, TSD1016-30’s, accommodate most manufacturers’ torque watches and screwdrivers.
TSD1020 Le Twister
The TSD1020 Le Twister automates the turning of the handle on an adjustable click wrench, relieving the stresses of turning many wrench handles all day.
