Torque meters
|
|
Torque meters are available in two different versions: handheld meters or tabletop meters. Torque meters have a wide range of applications. Handheld torque meters are mainly used for industry while tabletop torque meters are the ideal tool for laboratories. Our 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. We can offer you torque meters that can measure upto a maximum measuring value of 20 Nm. If you can't 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)2380 987030 and our engineers and technicians will asset you about all the measuring instruments available at PCE Instruments. Technical specifications about torque meters can be found at the following links:

- PCE-TM 80 series torque meters  (torque meters with external probe, up to a max. of 147 Ncm, peak value, RS-232, software)
|
|
|
- PCE-CTM series torque meters (tabletop torque meters, up to a max. of 20 Nm, peak value, built-in printer, RS-232)

| The force of a rotatory object (it is normally referred to as engines) is shown by means of the “moment of force” or torque moment. Example: If we put a load of 10 kg on a vertical beam 10 m out from a pivot, the torque moment produced on the axis will be 100 Nm (or 10,000 Ncm). A 100 Ncm geared meter could elevate a lever from 1cm up to 10 kg (in one axis). |

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 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.
