Industrial Products - Fastener Testing

A variety of units are available with tension capacity from 5000 pounds to 225,000 pounds and bolt sizes from # 6 to 2 1/2". All Skidmore-Wilhelm Torque-Tension Testers are rugged yet accurate to +/- 1%. They are compact, portable and easy to use so they can be moved from the engineering lab to the shop floor. We can provide NRC / NIST traceability.

Metric adapters and gages are available at no extra cost. Special gages such as low range, special capacity, and remote mounted are available on request.

Industrial Products - Tension testers for power tool performance

Torque-Tension Testers have a variety of Test Bolts manufactured to our specifications to provide a reference standard to measure tool performance. The tools operate as they would in actual use by tightening a nut and bolt. Gage reading displays the relative performance of each tool.

Bolt Tension Calibrators for Construction Applications

The complete Skidmore-Wilhelm product line covers a range of fastener and assembly tool testing products for both industrial and construction applications. Descriptive bulletins are available giving detailed information on most Skidmore-Wilhelm products.

Model M Bolt Tension Calibrator

Clamps directly to beam or column for on-site calibration of impact wrenches used to tighten high-strength bolts on structural steel. Also test fastener strength. Accepts bolt diameters 1/2" to 1 1/4"; 100,000 lbs. maximum preload. Ideal for construction-site fastener testing.

Model MS Bolt Tension Calibrator

Same functions as Model M, but designed specifically for shorter-length construction bolts, including tension-control bolts, 1/2" to 1" in diameter. 90,000 lbs. capacity.
