Modes of operation

With its 5 LED digit display, the Professional Calibration Torque Unit is designed to cover a wide range of common international tool sizes and ranges. The torque tester's rotating head allows it to be easily mounted on a flat or vertical surface.

The Professional Calibration Torque Unit is our entry level bench mounted torque tester, designed for production line or lower cost requirements for the testing and verification of hand torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers. The tester's ranges have been selected to cover the large majority of torque tools without having to use two testers for a single tool.

Typical Use

A torque tester is a complete package of an inbuilt torque transducer and a torque display. Commonly used for the quick interim testing and verifying of torque tools before a work shift, they play a key part in the quality control stage in a number of industries.

Particularly useful for tools having continual and constant use at one setting, the use of a torque tester allows the user to measure that their torque tool is applying the correct amount of torque before a work shift. It allows the operator to know if the tool still functions correctly and within the required tolerance, giving them confidence that their fasteners are being tightened to the correct torque value.

ISO 6789:2003 & ISO 6789:2017 Part 1 Compliant

The Professional Calibration Torque Unit is compliant with ISO 6789:2003 and ISO 6789:2017 Part 1 standards for the calibration of torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers.

Tilting Display

Featuring a tilting display, the Professional Calibration Torque Unit can be viewed from a variety of angles, making it easy to mount on any suitable surfaces.

Battery Powered or Mains Powered

The Professional Calibration Torque Unit is supplied with internal rechargeable batteries to allow for the portable operation of the tester in the field. The tester is supplied with a 9V DC plug top power supply for recharging these batteries, or to allow for the tester to be used with mains power when available.

The auto power off function of the Professional Calibration Torque Unit conserves battery life by ensuring that the display is automatically turned off after 5 minutes when not in use, increasing battery life.

Modes of Operation

The Professional Calibration Torque Unit can be used in various modes to facilitate the use of the tester with different types of torque tools.

First Peak Mode

Used for click type torque tools, 1st Peak Mode detects, shows and retains the first peak reading in a fast dynamic memory. The reading is retained until manually cleared.

Peak Mode

Used for dial and cam type torque tools, Peak Mode shows, updates and retains the maximum reading in a fast dynamic memory. The maximum reading is retained until manually cleared.

Run Mode

Run Mode shows the torque value as they change as a live reading output.

SI or Imperial Torque Units

The Professional Calibration Torque Unit covers a range of square drive sizes and torque ratings, and is supplied to work in either Nm and Lbf.Ft, or cNm and Lbf.In dependant on the range.

Compatible with ADMS Kepler 4 Calibration and Management Software

Connect the Professional Calibration Torque Unit up to your PC via RS232 connection to allow your torque readings to be recorded automatically, completely removing data entry error! The ADMS Kepler 4 Calibration and Management Software is designed to handle this data and perform all necessary calculations internally, before saving the data for future reference and giving you the option to print a bespoke certificate for the operations.

Recalibration at any torque calibration laboratory

Being an independent company, all our torque equipment, including the Professional Calibration Torque Unit, can be easily calibrated by any accredited torque calibration laboratory, allowing time and cost savings by using local calibration services.
