Digital Torque Screwdrivers

Digital torque screwdriver/testers capture peak torque or display torque measurement in real time mode. High and low setpoints with LED indicator and audible alarm facilitate Go/No Go testing. Perform breakaway tests.

GLK series torque screwdrivers are accurate to 1.5% F.S., ±1 LSD and are powered by a coin battery.

DID torque screwdriver/testers are accurate to 0.5% F.S., ±1 LSD, output peak or continuous data and have a rechargeable NiCad battery. (torque = force x distance)

Screws should be tight to ensure components hold together securely, but in many cases tightening a screw too much can cause more damage. This is especially true in electronics, where an overtightened screw can lead to a printed circuit board breaking. In other cases, applying too much torque on a screw can result in the threads being stripped, which makes repairing or replacing components much more difficult. For these reasons and many others, digital torque screwdrivers are commonplace in manufacturing, repair and maintenance applications. Imada offers a wide range of digital screwdrivers that ensure precision and accuracy during the assembly process to prevent accidental harm to products.

How Digital Torque Screwdrivers Work

Torque screwdrivers with digital displays provide users with a readout of the amount of torque they are using on screws. The readout can be on a small screen in the handle of the driver itself or on a connected module that is separate from the tool. This allows the user to see exactly how much torque they are exerting on the screw. Some models can be connected to a computer for capturing peak, or real-time torque data.

These portable measuring instruments also enable users to set a maximum torque limit. When the amount of torque reaches this pre-determined limit, the screwdriver automatically notifies the user via audio and visual indicators. When connected to a computer, these testers also can be used to record the maximum amount of torque allowable before damage occurs to the components, which is essential for setting the maximum limit.

Applications for Digital Torque Screwdrivers

Torque screwdrivers are essential testers for use in a wide range of manufacturing applications. They are commonly found in industries that depend on high-precision assembly of delicate components, including consumer electronics, medical devices, aerospace and automotive manufacturing. They also may be used to help test and calibrate other tools and testing different materials’ or fasteners’ performance under different torque settings.
