| Norbar's torque transducers have established an excellent
reputation based on exceptional quality and accuracy. A very
wide torque range is covered, 0.04 N.m to 100,000 N.m and three
basic transducer configurations are offered; Static, Impulse
Rotary and Annular. All transducers up to 5000 N.m (or 5000
lbf.ft) are supplied as standard with a UKAS calibration
certificate from Norbar's in-house laboratory. Larger
transducers are supplied with a certificate traceable to
national standards.
For customers who wish to take advantage of Norbar's
transducers but have an existing, non Norbar display instrument,
transducers can be provided with a mV/V calibration.
Norbar's instruments and transducers are complimented by a
wide range of ancillary products. Within this group are the
products that would be required to set up a torque calibration
laboratory, for example, torque wrench loaders meeting ISO
requirements and precision beam and weight systems for
calibration of torque transducers. |

| TorqCheck |
One
of the concerns in putting a torque tester into an environment
where people are not calibration specialists is that incorrect
selections will be made with the potential of incorrect tool
setting and consequently joint failure.
The new 'TorqCheck' torque wrench testers aim to cut the cost
of purchasing a torque wrench calibration system, and remove the
fears over the complexity of using such equipment.
There are two versions available, the 'TorqCheck' being the
most basic version, and the 'TorqCheck Plus' having greater
functionality, to offer more flexibility.
