There are provided: a tightening unit 10 such as a ratchet; a housing 20 having a two-divided structure including a front side cover part 21 and a back side grip part 22; a strain body 30 provided inside the housing 20 and replaceably coupling the tightening unit 10 thereto; a distortion sensor 40, provided to the strain body 30, for detecting the distorted amount of the strain body 30 due to the tightening force of the tightening unit 10; a microprocessor chip 100 having functions including computing the tightening torque of the tightening unit 10 based on torque reference values prepared in advance and detection results of the distortion sensor 40; and an output unit 300 for outputting such as the tightening torque.
Abstract:
A torque wrench having ease of operation compatible with improved accuracy of measurement. The torque wrench includes a tightening portion, a housing having a front side cover part and a back side grip part and a shaft-like strain body that is contained inside the housing. First distortion sensors and second distortion sensors are arranged on the strain body at spaced points in the axial direction of the strain body for measuring an amount of distortion of the strain body. A microprocessor chip has functions including computation of a tightening torque which is corrected for errors due to changes in a point of effort where a tightening force is applied by a user. The correction is based on the detection result of the first distortion sensors and the second distortion sensors. An output portion outputs the corrected tightening torque measurement value.
