5 Mistakes in Using Moment Keys

Created By: Hyprowira | Published Date: 29 August 2017 | Last Modified: 07 August 2019

The key moment or often referred to as the torque lock has a function to tighten bolts and nuts which are adjusted to a certain size of tight strength. If seen, then at the moment key will appear the end that can be fitted with a socket lock adjusting the size of the nut or bolt to be tightened. Whereas at the other end, precisely the position adjacent to the moment key hadle, there appears a pointer or row of numbers indicating how much the strength of the bolt and nut is being tightened. The needle will move by adjusting the strength given.

The function of the torque wrench or torque wrench is only used in final work in order to make bolts and nuts faster. So when the start tightens the nuts and bolts, just use the ordinary key, whether it's the socket lock, the ring lock until the wrench. Then if it is already tight enough, just use the torque wrench or torque key to tighten in the final process that adjusts the value of the tight strength of the bolt and nut. Unfortunately, using this moment key itself often finds errors including below.

Too Strong

Indeed, tightening the nuts and bolts into activities that actually require effort experience makes it firmer. One of them is to operate the moment key correctly. Because if it is too strong it will only cause excessive stress on the object that is tightened using the nut or bolt. When it is too strong it causes a broken bolt handle.

Don't Use It with Right Position

Generally using a torque that is to place the head of the moment key by holding it. This is done to make the shock lock stay in the right position. The exact position here is parallel to the arm. Then while pulling on the torque lock handle or torque wrench, it should also be pulled parallel to the clock.

Socket Does Not Fit the Size of Bolts / Nuts

Because at the end of the torque must be fitted with a socket, the size must be ensured that it is already the same as the various sizes of bolts or nuts that will be tightened. The reason is, if not, it will definitely be difficult to function.

Pass the Wrench

The torque wrench should be used in the final step after bolt tightening using a wrench. Therefore the bolt tightening should be done in stages first and not directly using the moment key in order to avoid twisting, blasting until it breaks.

Size Does Not Fit Nuts / Bolts

Forgetting to adjust the size of the moment key with a nut or bolt is a fatal error. Given that the key that serves to tighten the nut or bolt has a different size according to the size of the bolt and nut that will be tightened.
