- Patented design eliminates 'brush bounce'
- Compatible with continuous drive tools, impulse tools, and torque wrenches
- Available in square and hex drives
- Industry Standard (IS) versions available
- Optional angle measurement with 0.5° resolution
Technical Specifications
- Plug & Play with UTA system indicators
- Calibration traceable to National and International Standards
- Aluminium housing and stainless steel shaft
- Overload capacity of 125% rated torque
- Operating temperature range: +5˚C to +40˚C
- Ingress Protection rating: IP40
- 12-month warranty on parts and labor
Calibration
Standard calibration includes 10 points in a single direction, with optional bi-directional calibration. UKAS calibration is available as an option, and recalibration is recommended annually.
Construction and Connections
