Torque is the force exerted at a certain distance from a point of rotation. A torquemeter is used to measure this torsional force, often expressed in newton-metres (N-m).

βš™οΈ 2. What is it used for?

A torquemeter is used for :

Checking the tightness of screws, bolts or nuts (in mechanical engineering, aeronautics, the automotive industry, etc.).

Measuring engine torque on a test bench (to assess an engine’s power)

Check the operation of rotating machines (engines, pumps, compressors, etc.)

πŸ” 3. Types of torque meter

Mechanical – such as torque spanners:
β†’ The user applies an effort until a set torque is reached.
β†’ Very common for manual tightening.

Electronic / Digital:
β†’ Use strain gauges or rotary transducers.
β†’ Give a precise measurement in real time, often displayed on a screen or sent to an acquisition system.

Fixed or portable:
β†’ The former are mounted on a test bench (e.g. engine torque measurement).
β†’ The latter are used in the field (maintenance, assembly, etc.).
