How a torque wrench works

In this 3D animated video, we'll see how to use a ratcheting click-type torque wrench and look at the mechanism inside to see how it works. Click-type torque wrenches are the most commonly used type of torque wrench available.
A torque wrench is a specialized socket wrench tool designed to tighten fasteners to a predetermined torque value, ensuring consistency and preventing over or under-tightening of the fasteners, which can lead to issues like stripped threads or loosening.

I use torque wrenches every day at work, and have been using them even longer in my hobbies at home. I’ve even been to a technical college where we learned our profession in depth, and indeed learned that a spring is compressed to set the desired torque value. Yet, no one could ever satisfactorily explain how the linear spring compression was translated to rotational torque measurement. In 5 minutes, you have solved a decades long mystery for me! Thank you.

@scythelord 6 ай бұрын

@@richardmillhousenixon Truth. Cycles cause springs to weaken far quicker than steady state loads ever can. Easily proven in real world scenarios. Firearm magazines are a perfect example. They can be stored fully loaded with the spring fully compressed for decades upon decades and the spring will still be as strong as any new magazine. But put a magazine through several hundred cycles of loading and unloading and it will be noticeably weaker even if the magazine is only a few years old. Thousands of cycles and it will start to become too weak.

If you’ve never used a torque wrench before, it’s useful to understand the “click” is very subtle and easy to miss at low torque settings. It’s a good idea to practice with it to get a feel for how it works at different settings before tightening critical fasteners you don’t want to snap!

4:32 "the energy stored in the system is released". No not at all. If anything the user has added more energy to the system. Your animations are very nice.

@agentpresta 6 ай бұрын

Agreed. It took me a minute of watching the animation to realize that rather, once the torque overcomes the force of the spring, the spring compresses allowing the pivot block to rock.

@Tux.Penguin 4 ай бұрын

Saying “no not at all” isn’t strictly true. The narrator wasn’t totally wrong. When the block suddenly pivots and the head assembly strikes the inside of the wrench body making the click, that is a small release of energy. It is just a small part of the stored energy, not all of it, but more than zero.

@adaycj 4 ай бұрын

@@Tux.Penguin The user is twisting it with more and more torque as that happens. Are we really talking about the energy required to make a noise while tightening bolts? Your comment is even more pedantic than mine.
