Torque meters

Torque meters are available in two different versions: handheld meters or tabletop meters. Torque meters have a wide range of application. Handheld torque meters are mainly used for industry while tabletop torque meters are the ideal tool for laboratories. Torque meters come with a RS-232 port to transfer torque values to a PC or a portable computer. Tabletop torque meters can be equipped with a printer (option). You can also order a ISO calibration certificate as an option. PCE Group Ibérica S.L. offers to the customer torque meters for a maximum measuring value of 20 Nm. If you do not find the torque meter you are looking for, we can help you to find the measuring instrument that best suits your needs. Call us on: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398 and our engineers and technicians will asset you about all the measuring instruments available at PCE Group.

Detailed description: the physical dimension of the “torque moment” is the result of both the force and the displacement. The unitary system SI has the measuring unit of the “torque moment” the Newton Nm: 1 Newton meter = 1 kgm²/s².

Definition: If there is a force exerted to the gravity centre of a rigid body which is freely in motion, this body will speed itself, that means that the speed will be modified. This body will perform a a rectilinear translation movement (displacement). However, if the body is fixed at a static point, there will not be any translation and the displacement will only be a rotatory movement in relation to the static point. The magnitude which influences this rotatory movement, that is the cause of the modification of the rotatory speed is called  “torque”. All our torque meters can be calibrated to meet the DIN ISO standard. This can be ordered within the instrument or it can be recalibrated (annually or according to the internal quality control). We will send the instrument with the certificate.
