Moment Wrench or Torque Wrench is one of the tools commonly found on the market to facilitate the work of mounting bolts that can be adjusted to a certain firmness and strength, this Moment Wrench is used so that the punter force on the bolt can be adjusted to arrive at a certain moment of tension or tightness. The use of the moment lock itself is very important especially for machines that require proper bolt installation so that it does not damage the rim on the bolt, especially if applied to aluminum material which can be easily damaged or destroyed.
Torque Wrench Model Pointing Needle
This model is one of the models that are often found in the market. The lock moment of the pointer model, also known as the deflecting beam, works by showing the size or amount of tightness of the nut or bolt if it is mounted on the pointer. The measurements shown result from the tightening moment carried out by the nut or bolt. The price of the torque wrench of the pointing needle model on the market is quite affordable starting from Rp 150 thousand to Rp 1 million, depending on the brand and quality of the torque wrench.
Click Adjustable Moment Key
With the click adjustable torque wrench, bolt installation is easier because you do not need to see the size on the scale as in the pointer needle moment lock. There are two types of settings that can be applied in the moment of this click model, which are 2 directions of rotation with a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and 1 direction of rotation with a clockwise rotation.
How to use it is to install a bolt on one side then turn the moment lock in the direction that has been applied. After achieving the correct tightening, the torque wrench will make an 'click' sound. The key price moment of this click model is priced more expensive on the market than the needle model, which starts from Rp. 600 thousand to Rp. 6 million.
Torque Wrench Model Setting Micrometer
Another model of the moment lock is the micrometer setting model. With the moment lock of this model, you can tighten the bolt with a detailed micrometer setting so there are no mistakes in installation. The micrometer setting is located in the center of the torque wrench, while the sides are used to attach a bolt or nut and as a handle. The accuracy of the torque wrench of the micrometer setting model is greater than the click model and pointer model, this is because the unit used is the micrometer. Therefore, the micrometer moment lock is the most commonly used in the automotive industry.
How to use it is also easy, by turning the moment lock until the 'click' sound appears. In addition, after use, the moment lock of this model will automatically return to the initial neutral mode so that it does not need to be set manually. The price of this micrometer moment lock is priced at various prices on the market, ranging from Rp. 600 thousand to Rp. 2 million, depending on the quality and brand of the torque wrench.
Torque Wrench Model Dial Indicator
Different from other moment keys, the moment of the dial indicator model key in its use must be attached to a tool because it cannot stand alone. The measurement methods are also varied and can be adjusted to your liking, and accuracy ranges from 0.01 mm to 0.001 mm. The installation must also be perpendicular to the measuring point. The price of a torque wrench on the market is around Rp. 1 million to Rp. 6 million.
Torque Tester and Promax Torque Key
If you want to adjust or validate the torque value on the torque wrench, you can use the Torque tester made by Promax. This tool can be used to measure various sizes of torque with an accuracy of approximately 1%. In addition, you can also use a torque wrench tool that is used to apply torque to a nut or bolt appropriately as well as with a special internal measurement mechanism.
This Torque Wrench can also be used so that the resulting tightness is consistent and with the right load. You can contact Hyprowira, the official Promax distributor in Indonesia for further information.
