Laser 5520 Torque Wrench 1/2"D 80 - 400Nm

Product Information

Torque, simply put, is a measure of how much force is required to turn an object. When applied to tools, it measures how much power the tool can generate. A tool that produces more torque generally means it will provide more power and better performance, mainly when working with larger or more stubborn objects. Factory calibrated to ±3% for optimum accuracy and the improved mechanism ensures an extended accuracy even over time When you look at the specification of a car’s engine, you’ll see numbers for power and torque. Power is self-explanatory but torque? Not so much. Progressive LEDs provide an easy visual representation of torque progress allowing the user to more easily anticipate torque target For example, if someone plies a force of one Newton on a lever at a distance of one meter from the fulcrum, they would be said to be applying a torque of one Newton-metre. Similarly, if an object has a rotational speed of one meter per second, it would be said to rotate at a rate of one Newton-metre per second.

The Newton-metre is a measurement unit typically used to describe the torque exerted by force. It is also occasionally used to express the rotational speed of an object. The Newton-metre is equal to the force of one Newton applied to an object at a distance of one meter from the fulcrum. Supplied with a traceable calibration Certificate allowing end-users to adhere to more stringent quality control processes The higher the torque, the more powerful the tool. Most of the 1/2-inch impact wrenches have a maximum torque of around 400 Nm. However, some 1/2-inch cordless models are designed for more demanding applications and can generate up to 600 Nm of torque.

Power tells you how fast a car will go with a certain engine. An engine with lots of power will rip round to the rev limit, making lots of noise and feeling very exciting. But most people don’t drive like that, which is where torque comes in. Torque tells you how strong an engine is. For most applications, a 400 nm torque wrench will be sufficient. However, if you’re working with particularly stubborn bolts or are worried about stripping them, you may want to consider a higher-powered model. When shopping for an impact wrench, it’s essential to consider the amount of torque that you’ll need for the job you’re planning to use it for. Impact wrenches are available in various sizes and styles, each with its specific torque output. Specifications ½" push thru sq dr 60 - 340 Nm / 50 - 250lbs.ft Length: 593mm Weight: 1.48kgSupplied in blow moulded box Ideal for use by professionals such as plumbers, electricians, engineers, mechanics, construction workers as well as DIY enthusiasts

Depending on the wrench, the torque range can be anywhere from 0 to 300 foot-pounds, 0 to 1,000 inch-pounds, or 0 to 400 newton meters. To perform most automotive work, you’ll need a wrench with a range of 10 to 150 foot-pounds or 10 to 200 inch-pounds (and the corresponding newton meter). A smaller range of around 10 to 80 foot-pounds is typically sufficient for plumbing or HVAC jobs. Drive size Regarding impact wrenches, the power and torque rating is among the most important considerations. More power means that the wrench can loosen more stubborn bolts. While more torque results in less likelihood of stripping the head of the bolt.

New design handle is ergonomic and constructed from a soft grip material for comfort when using and enhanced grip Both handle and body material is resistant to all chemicals in common automotive and industrial use making it a durable product Supplied with a traceable alibration Certificate allowing end-users to adhere to more stringent quality control processes kg-cm are units of torque that, interestingly, we usually write down with improper notation. You probably noticed that when you try to convert kg-cm to any other SI units, you will get a different unit than that for newtons multiplied by meters! To make this notation correct, you should add a letter f, writing down kgf-cm. In this situation, kgf means kilograms of force, which are simply kilograms multiplied by the gravitational acceleration, g. How much torque an electric car produces depends on how powerful the motor is and the numbers for some don’t look that impressive. But what marks electric cars out is that all the torque is available instantly. Internal combustion engines only produce maximum torque at certain engine revs.

Head Type

New Timestrip® Feature - Torque wrenches should be calibrated once a year as a minimum, more frequently in harsh environments and with high levels of usage. Timestrip® provides a visual indication that the wrench is due for re-calibration and has 3, 6, 9 and 12 month graduations Torque is a measure of rotational force. It is the turning or twisting effect produced by force applied at right angles to an object, such as a wrench or a shaft. The symbol for torque is usually “Nm.” When shopping for an impact wrench, you will often see references to “torque.” This is the maximum amount of torque that the tool can generate. When choosing an impact wrench, remember a few factors to ensure you’re getting the right amount of torque for your needs.
