Torque Screwdrivers

Torque screwdrivers, used in conjunction with torque wrenches, are ideal for fastening small objects when the tightening torque value is significantly less. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of these torque screwdrivers from brands like Proto, Westward, Utica, Wright Tools and SK Professional Tools. They feature a ring or bezel device which allows an operator to press down and adjust the torque setting. These units then further lock the assembly into its desired position, when released, to prevent incidental torque adjustments. They facilitate both clockwise and anti-clockwise tightening configurations and are available in fluted, knurled, kraftform, pistol and T-shaped handle options on Raptor Supplies.

Working Mechanism

  • Torque screwdrivers have a torsion spring or electronic sensor that measures the amount of torque applied during tightening.
  • This measurement is then translated into an audible, visual or tactile signal to indicate when the preset torque level has been reached.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right torque screwdriver for my application?

When selecting a torque screwdriver, consider the suitable torque range and the type or size of fasteners being used.

Are there any tips for using torque screwdrivers effectively?

  • Make sure that the torque screwdriver is set to the correct torque value for the specific screw or fastener being tightened.
  • Always use the appropriate size and type of screwdriver bit for the screw head to prevent slippage and potential damage.
  • Additionally, maintain a consistent and steady hand movement while applying torque to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Can I use torque screwdrivers for precision applications?

Yes, torque screwdrivers are ideal for precision applications that require accurate and consistent torque control. You can use them for assembling delicate electronic components, tightening fasteners in medical devices or installing intricate mechanical parts.

Are there any troubleshooting tips for torque screwdrivers?

  • If the torque screwdriver is not providing consistent or accurate torque readings, check for any debris or obstructions that may be affecting its operation.
  • Additionally, ensure that the tool is properly calibrated and that the torque settings are adjusted according to the manufacturer's specifications.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when using torque screwdrivers?

  • Avoid over-tightening screws, as this can lead to damaged components or stripped threads.
  • Similarly, under-tightening screws can result in loose connections or mechanical failures.
  • Also ensure that the torque screwdriver is properly calibrated and maintained to achieve accurate torque readings.
  • Finally, be mindful of the tool's limitations and use it within its specified torque range to prevent damage or malfunction.
