Aimo Pusa, Michael Sachs

Abstract

The article gives an overview about the present state of torque calibration facilities in the MIKES-RAUTE Mass and Force Laboratory in Lahti, Finland. The laboratory utilises four high-level torque calibration devices in a range from 0,1 N·m to 20 kN·m. Also in use are several facilities for the calibration and testing of torque wrenches and other torque devices. The main components of the calibration devices are described briefly. Beside that the main steps of the development history of the devices during the past 10 years – as a reaction to the needs of the customers – are presented.
