Norbar Torque Tools History

In 1942 the North Bar Tool Co. (as Norbar was then known) became the first company in Britain to commercially manufacture a torque wrench. The initial demand was driven by the need for the gasket-less cylinder head of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine to be accurately tightened. Bill Brodey and his partner Ernest Thornitt obtained a license from Britains war-time Government to begin manufacture of torque wrenches and Norbar was born. Since then, Norbar has continued to invest in the very latest design, manufacturing and quality control technology to achieve the highest level of innovation and precision in the field of torque control equipment. The company has grown from strength to strength and now has one of the largest and most modern plants in the World devoted exclusively to the design, development and production of torque tightening and measuring equipment. Norbar is owned solely by the descendants of the founder, Bill Brodey, and they remain every bit as passionate about providing customers with high quality, value for money products and services.

Global Service
Norbar is the only torque equipment manufacturer to be able to offer tool and instrument recalibration services to the original factory standard at five locations on four continents. The accredited laboratories in Australia, USA and Singapore use the same equipment and procedures as the factorys UKAS accredited laboratory in the UK. A further Norbar laboratory is now in operation in Shanghai, China with government accreditation expected in 2009. In addition to this, most of Norbars distributors offer repair and recalibration services and several have calibration accreditation by their local standards organisations.

What is Torque?
Torque is any force or system of forces that tends to cause rotation about an axis.

Measurement of Torque
Imagine someone tightening a bolt using a socket attached to a meter long bar. If they apply 10 kg of force (kgf) perpendicular to the bar they will produce a torque of 10 kgf.m at the axis (the centre of the bolt). However, under the S.I. system of measurement, force is expressed in Newtons (N) rather than kgf. The conversion between kgf and N is x 9.807 so the person is applying 98.07 N.m of torque.

2m 1m

100 N

100 N

Torque = Force x Distance Example 1: Distance = 1 m, Force = 100 N,Torque = 100 N.m. Example 2: Distance = 2 m, Force = 100 N,Torque = 200 N.m. Example 3: Distance = 1 ft, Force = 100 lbf,Torque = 100 lbf.ft (or 100 ft.lb)

The Importance of Torque Control

Although many methods exist to join two or more parts together, the ease of assembly and disassembly provided by threaded fasteners make them the ideal choice for many applications. The object of a threaded fastener is to clamp parts together with a tension greater than the external forces tending to separate them. The bolt then remains under constant stress and is immune from fatigue. However, if the initial tension is too low, varying loads act on the bolt and it will quickly fail. If the initial tension is too high, the tightening process may cause bolt failure. Reliability therefore depends upon correct initial tension. The most practical way of ensuring this is by specifying and controlling the tightening torque.

Bolt Tension
When an assembly is clamped by tightening a nut and bolt, the induced tension causes the bolt to stretch. An equal force acts to compress the parts which are thus clamped. The proof load of a bolt, normally established by test, is the load which just starts to induce permanent set also known as the yield point. Typically bolts are tightened to between 75% and 90% of yield.

Introduction

Friction in the Bolted Joint

When a threaded fastener is tightened, the induced tension results in friction under the head of the bolt and in the threads. It is generally accepted that as much as 50% of the applied torque is expended in overcoming friction between the bolt head and the abutting surface and another 30% to 40% is lost to friction in the threads. As little as 10% of the applied torque results in useful work to tension the bolt.

Friction under the bolt head Friction in the threads Useful work to tension bolt

Given that up to 90% of the applied torque will be lost to friction, it follows that any changes in the coefficient of friction resulting from differences in surface finish, surface condition and lubrication can have a dramatic effect on the torque versus tension relationship. Some general points can be made: Most torque tightened joints do not use washers because their use can result in relative motion between the nut and washer or the washer and joint surface during tightening.This has the effect of changing the friction radius and hence affects the torque-tension relationship. Where a larger bearing face is required then flange nuts or bolts can be used. If washers are to be used, hard washers with a good fit to the shank of the bolt give lower and more consistent friction and are generally to be preferred. Degreasing fasteners of the film of oil usually present on them as supplied will decrease the tension for a given torque and may result in shear of the fastener before the desired tension is achieved. Super lubricants formulated from graphite, molybdenum disulphide and waxes result in minimal friction. Unless allowance is made in the specified tightening torque, the induced tension may be excessive causing the bolt to yield and fail. However, used in a controlled manner, these lubricants serve a useful purpose in reducing the torque to produce the desired tension meaning that a lower capacity tightening tool can be used. For reasons of appearance or corrosion resistance, fasteners Surface condition of bolt may be plated. These treatments affect the coefficient of friction and therefore the torque versus tension Untreated Zinc Cadmium Phosphate relationship. Untreated 1.00 1.00 0.80 0.90 Friction is often deliberately introduced into the fastener to reduce the possibility of loosening due to vibration. Devices Zinc 1.15 1.20 1.35 1.15 such as lock-nuts must be taken into account when establishing the correct tightening torque.

As a rough guide, the calculated tightening torque should be multiplied by the factor from the table opposite according to surface treatment and lubrication.

Tightening to Yield
Bolts tightened to yield provide consistently higher preloads from smaller diameter bolts.The reduced fastener stiffness reduces the fatigue loading to which the bolt is subjected under repeated external load reversals, e.g. cylinder heads and connecting rods. In theory, a bolt tightened to its yield point will provide the strongest and most fatigue-resistant joint possible, within the physical limitations of the bolt material and manufacturing process. Down side of this method is the cost of the sophisticated equipment necessary to determine when the bolt goes into yield.

Torque Tension Calculator

For further information and guidance on establishing the correct tightening torque for a fastener, see Norbars web site, www.norbar.com.

When Torque Doesnt Equal Tight

As we have established, it is the tension in a fastener rather than the torque that is the critical factor. Torque is an indirect means of establishing tension but, in a correctly engineered joint and with a controlled tightening process, it is a satisfactory method under the majority of circumstances. However, in joints that are highly critical due to safety or the cost and implications of machine down-time, a more direct means of establishing tension is needed. Various methods exist including several types of load indicating bolt or washer. However, one of the most versatile methods is to measure the extension of the bolt due to the tightening process using ultrasound and this is exactly what Norbars USM-3 does. For full details of this instrument see Norbars web site: www.norbar.com.

Recommended Maximum Torque Values

The information supplied here is intended to be an acceptable guide for normal conditions. For critical applications, further information and research will be necessary.The following basic assumptions have been made: a. b. c. d. Bolts are new, standard finish, uncoated and not lubricated (other than the normal protective oil film). The load will be 90% of the bolt yield strength. The coefficient of friction is 0.14. The final tightening sequence is achieved smoothly and slowly.

If lubrication is to be applied to the nut/bolt, multiply the recommended torque by the appropriate factor shown in the table on page 7. Alternatively, use the Torque/Tension Calculator on the Norbar website which enables fastener and friction conditions to be modified with ease.

Formula for Calculating the Effect of Torque Wrench Extensions

M2 = M1 x L2/L1 Where L1 is the normal length and L2 is the extended length, M1 is the set torque and M2 the actual torque applied to the nut.

Example
L2 extended length L1 normal length

Torque setting 100 N.m L1 = 500 L2 = 650

(units of length not important, this is a ratio)

M2 = 100 x 650/500 = 130 N.m

Professional Torque Wrench

The Professional is Norbars core torque wrench range containing the most popular models and the most model variants to suit almost every application. More than 60 years of torque wrench manufacture has shaped this range and no aspect of design, manufacture or materials is taken to chance. Every new product and design change is rigorously tested before introduction, a process that makes these wrenches amongst the most durable and accurate on the market.

Torque Scale
Unique harmonic drive scale mechanism allows a long scale length and therefore accurate and error free setting.

Ratchets
The Professional torque wrench is available with a choice of ratchets and as a Torque Handle for interchangeable fittings.

Torque Mechanism
Norbars accurate mechanism has been developed and enhanced over a 40 year period and several million examples have been produced. Less parts to maintain than pivot block mechanisms. Simple calibration adjustments without disassembly.

Adjustment Lock
A robust lock prevents accidental adjustment of the wrench during use. Fingertip light adjustment comes from the best design and materials.

Norbar 5 station tester is used for durability and benchmark testing.

Professional Torque Wrench Automotive Ratchet Models

The Professional torque wrench offers an ideal combination of accuracy, robust construction, comfort and ease of use. The reversible ratchets on these models are designed with compact dimensions and a narrow engagement angle resulting from the 72 tooth pattern. These features make the wrench ideal for use in the confined spaces of modern motor vehicles and many other applications. Accuracy of 3% of reading exceeds all international standards for torque wrenches. Every wrench is supplied with a calibration certificate to satisfy the requirements of ISO 9000:2000. Soft feel handle provides excellent grip even in oily conditions. Handle material and lens resist all chemicals in common automotive, industrial and aviation use. Locking mechanism prevents accidental adjustment of the wrench during operation. Long scale graduated in N.m and lbf.ft allows for foolproof and accurate setting. Supplied in moulded box for storage and protection.

Torque Wrenches

Professional Torque Wrench Industrial Ratchet Models

These wrenches offer the same outstanding features as those on the previous page but with a wider model range up to 400 N.m and a different ratchet concept. The push-through ratchets on these models are robustly engineered for strength and durability. The strength and high wear resistance comes from the design of the tooth pattern while a principle of offset ratchet pawls gives a narrow engagement angle. The push through square drive is not only a robust design but allows the wrench to be used for torque control in both the clockwise and anti clockwise directions. Please note that the 3/4 square drive of the Model 400 has to be removed and re-inserted on the other side of the ratchet head rather than pushed through.

Professional Torque Wrench Torque Handles

Norbar Torque Handles are based on the Professional wrench range and share the same high precision engineering. Two end fitting styles are catered for: 16mm diameter spigot type and the 9 x 12mm and 14 x 18mm rectangular type. For many applications a spanner end fitting rather than a socket is the best or, often, the only solution.Typically this will be because the joint is a pipe union (such as a brake pipe).

Torque Wrenches

Electrode Wrenches
The correct tightening of carbon/graphite electrodes is known to increase the energy efficiency of electric arc furnaces and prevents electrode sections from being lost in the furnace. Norbar Electrode Wrenches are based on two well proven torque wrench designs: electrodes up to 8 inches use the Professional type, 9 inches and upwards are based on the Industrial wrench. Positive torque control increases energy efficiency. Self-clamping action speeds the tightening operation. Unmistakable signal when the set torque is reached. A wide range of electrode sizes, 8 to 24 inches, can be tightened.
