Applications & Characteristics
Rundown fixtures assist in testing the output of pulse, stall, and clutch power tools. Neither our testers nor our rundown fixtures are designed, engineered, or suited for impact tools. Testing impact tools on our equipment can damage the torque tester and immediately voids the warranty.
Testing pulse and clutch power tools are accomplished by allowing the tool to achieve rotational speed prior to torque measurement. The rundown fixtures all include components to emulate either a hard or medium joint, thus assuring greater test accuracy.
The rundown fixtures work with Torq-Tronics 2 (+/- .5% Indicated Value) and our new System 8 (+/- .25% Indicated Value) Digital Torque Testers.
Filters and Testing
Both Torq-Tronics 2 and the System 8 digital torque testers have power tool testing filters built. Matching tool capacity, rundown fixture capacity, and transducer capacity is the basis for creating accurate test results.
Power Tool Testing FAQ
Q: Rundown tools emulate medium and hard joints. Why not soft joints?
A: Torque tools and torque measurements are not impacted by joint hardness. However, there is ONE exception: Soft joints and power tools.
Q: Why are power tools impacted by soft joints?
A: Our PST Series of Pneumatic Sensor Transceivers are a great example of the soft joint impact on a fastening. Example: Tightening a 5 bolt manifold onto a motor the time/air pressure combination changes. The first two or sometimes three fasteners are pulling the manifold close to the engine.
