A torque wrench indicates how much force you are applying to a fastener with a deflection beam or a calibrated spring mechanism. A scale or display on the tool shows you the load that is being applied. The scale may be calibrated in foot-pounds (ft. lbs.), inch-pounds (in. lbs.) or...
This is the wrench for those who don't regularly need a torque wrench. The large center beam bends as you apply torque, while the unbending pointer beam lets you read the torque directly. If it goes out of calibration, simply bend the pointer back to zero with a pair of pliers. The ...
This peculiar-looking wrench uses a long beam attached to the head as a plumb line, as well as a scale on the handle beneath it. This handle is designed to flex slightly as the amount of torque increases, causing the scale to shift under the pointer. Reading the tool is similar to usi...
Next, align the stem with the front wheel, so the bar is at a right angle with the wheel. This may take some patience – it helps to straddle yourself over the top tube of the bike. Step 8 It is worth investing in a decent torque wrench for jobs such as this.Stan Portus / Our ...
Fix the torque wrench over the bolt whose torque you want to measure and begin to tighten. Keep an eye on the digital readout, if you are using a digital wrench. Step 4 Tighten the bolt until the desired level of torque is reached, or just until you see the bolt turn if you are ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a torque wrench having a gravity sensor capable of measuring the angle of itself using the gravity sensor and correcting an error caused by manual operation, and to provide a method for accurately calculating the rotation angle of the torque wrench.謝 智慶...
If you've read many HowStuffWorks articles, you've seen a lot of terminology thrown around -- words such as mass, force, torque, work, power and energy. What do these words really mean, and are they interchangeable? In this article, we will help to bring all of this terminology to...

How to Build Your Everything Really Really Fast: A few years ago, I wrote a short document on methods for rapidly fabricating elements of mechanical systems entitled How to Build Your Robot Really Really Fast. It was catered towards students in MIT's 2.0
Electronic: Using a piezo-electric sensor, which changes resistance depending on how much it deforms, electronic torque wrenches have no moving parts. Electronically, they sense how much twisting force is applied to the socket, delivering a readout on a digital display. For setting a specified t...
