Torque measurement, torquemeter
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).
⚙️ 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.)
🔍 3. Types of torque meter
Mechanical – such as torque spanners:
→ The user applies an effort until a set torque is reached.
→ Very common for manual tightening.
Electronic / Digital:
→ Use strain gauges or rotary transducers.
→ Give a precise measurement in real time, often displayed on a screen or sent to an acquisition system.
Fixed or portable:
→ The former are mounted on a test bench (e.g. engine torque measurement).
→ The latter are used in the field (maintenance, assembly, etc.).
