| | | Selecting the Proper Torque Wrench | |
 There are a wide variety of Preset and Adjustable torque wrenches and selecting the shape and size for your application can be easy. However, understanding the variety of torque delivery mechanisms of torque wrenches can be confusing.
A Preset torque wrench is similar to a person setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The wrench is preset to the required torque value of the application and then the tool signals the user when torque is achieved. A preset torque wrench must be preset using a torque analyzer. An "Adjustable" torque wrench features a torque scale that allows you to see and adjust the torque setting.
There are three styles in which the wrench can signal achieving torque, either by a "click," "break," or "slip." Each of three wrench styles has a specific purpose and utility. When you decide to spend the money for one, it's important that you select the one that will do the job properly and not generically. More >

Mechanical Torque Wrench Loader is a Laboratory Grade Instrument That Assures Accurate Torque Calibration With Less Effort
The Loading Bench by Mountz Inc. is a laboratory grade instrument designed to enable accurate torque wrench calibration with less physical effort. The Loading Bench simulates torque application conditions with minimum effort and enhanced safety for the calibration technician assuring a more accurate calibration. The calibration instrument enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and presetting, independent of human influence or transducer side and end load factors. The Mountz Inc. Loading Bench is designed to calibrate torque wrenches in accordance with International Standards ISO6789:2007. The drive system of the Loading Bench assures the load application eliminates potential operator induced test errors. Built for durable use, the Loading Bench reduces the operator effort required to attain and sustain torque during the calibration process. The Loading Bench features a large handle wheel, which operates in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to allow smooth manual loading. A torque wrench is considered a measuring tool and must be properly calibrated and maintained on a preventative maintenance and calibration schedule. The adjustable design of the Load Bench allows it to accommodate various size torque wrenches that can be tested with the unit. The gearbox design of the Loading Bench allows for high torque to be applied with minimum effort required from the calibration technician. Torque wrenches go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque wrench is a fine-tuning process of bringing the torque wrench back within its tolerance. The international standard for torque wrench calibration (ISO6789) mandates all conforming wrenches meet or exceed 5,000 cycles before requiring calibration. A torque wrench is a precision tool and should be treated and maintained like a measuring instrument. Using a quality torque wrench calibration system is important for many companies to ensure that proper torque is being applied and maintained for their quality requirements. More > |
| Torque Wrenches | |
 Mountz offers a variety of torque wrenches with different shapes, sizes and torque delivery mechanisms. Conventional wrenches click when torque is reached, dial wrenches accurately measure torque and cam and break-over style wrenches apply desired torque while preventing over torque. Here is a brief rundown of the wrench styles that Mountz offers.
Cam-Over Wrenches
Perfect for maintenance and production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. Eliminates over torque.
Break-Over Wrenches
Typically deflect 20-90 degrees on torque delivery, thus indicating torque has been reached. Limits torque applied & selection of end fittings. Dial Wrenches
Typically used as a quality control instrument to verify or monitor torque. However, some customers find them a resourceful production tool. Digital Torque Wrenches
Available in torque and torque/angle models used for production, auditing, joint validation as well as fastener testing. With and without memory. Entry level from $300 Click Wrenches
Click wrenches are the most widely used torque product in the world. Variety of models available.
