ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF SETTING-TYPE TORQUE SCREWDRIVERS

C. Schlegel

Abstract

This article describes the behaviour of setting-type torque screwdrivers. In contrast to setting-type torque wrenches, such screwdrivers have multiple setpoints that can be quite different from those of torque wrenches. This fact has a crucial impact on their calibration. The current article focuses on the determination of the setpoints as well as on the statistical behaviour of the data. It further presents initial measurements obtained from various screwdrivers.
