Screw connections testing (TM 320)

breakaway torque of a bolt joint

Code TM320

 Description:

  • The main element of the unit is a slotted, elastically deformable steel block. By tightening the bolt joint, the slotted area is deformed, thereby generating an axial tension force in the bolt.
  • The resulting deformation is recorded by a mechanical dial gauge, and is directly related to the bolt tension force generated.
  • The bolt joint is tightened and slackened using a special torque wrench, which can be set sensitively with the aid of a threaded spindle.
  • By using an axial bearing, the head friction of the bolt can be largely excluded, so that only the friction of the threaded joint is measured.
