As it expands its line of digital torque wrenches, Imada, Inc. added RGED Series wireless torque wrenches to its repertoire of torque testers.

Torque testing is an important quality-control step in nearly every manufacturing sector. Properly testing rotary parts for torque with handheld or automated gages can prevent everything from un-openable bottle caps to loose fasteners. Or, in a grave example, if GM properly acted on failed rotational torque tests of ignition switches in some of its mid-2000s models, 13 lives would have been saved.

So you’ve designed a high performance bearing or friction-free coupling, and the first thing you are asked is: What is its actual restraining torque? You’ve done your best to make something unmeasurable, and now you’re being asked to measure it.

The torque testers of today can offer so much more than just measuring the twist-off torque of a bottle top. They can measure a wide variety of products and materials, communicate on multiple levels and be effortlessly integrated into automated manufacturing environments.
