Preparation :
Choose the right torque wrench : According to the specifications and torque requirements of the hard-toothed reducer screws, choose a torque wrench with a matching range and appropriate accuracy. Generally speaking, the range of the torque wrench should be slightly larger than the specified torque value of the screw to ensure accurate measurement and no damage to the wrench.
Check the torque wrench : Before use, carefully check whether the torque wrench is damaged, worn or malfunctioned, such as whether the wrench head is deformed, whether the handle is loose, whether the scale is clear, etc. to ensure that the torque wrench can work normally. At the same time, the torque wrench is calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations, and can be calibrated using standard torque blocks or torque measuring equipment with known accuracy. If the wrench has an automatic calibration function, calibrate according to the instructions.
Operation process :
Determine the screw position and specified torque value : Refer to the repair manual of the hard-toothed reducer or the technical information provided by the manufacturer to clarify the screw position that needs to be checked and their respective specified torque values. The required torque values for screws of different positions and specifications may vary.
Install the wrench head : Install the wrench head that matches the screw head on the torque wrench and ensure a secure connection. For example, for hex head screws, select the appropriate size of the hex head.
Alignment screws : accurately fit the torque wrench head on the screw head of the reducer, so that the wrench head and the screw head are fully fitted, ensuring that the force can be transmitted evenly to the screw, and avoid inaccurate measurement or damage to the screw due to uneven force.
Apply Torque : Hold the handle of the torque wrench and apply torque smoothly and slowly so that the wrench starts to twist the screws. During the application of torque, pay attention to the scale or display of the torque wrench (if it is a digitally explicit torque wrench), and stop twisting when the specified torque value of the screw is reached.
To determine the screw looseness :
Observe the rotation of the screw : If the screw starts to rotate easily when the torque has not reached the specified torque value and there is no obvious resistance, it means that the screw has been loose and needs to be re-tightened to the specified torque.
Comparison of multiple measurement results : For important screws or difficult to judge, the torque value of the same screw can be measured multiple times and compared. If the multiple measurements are significantly lower than the specified torque value and the screw rotates smoothly, it can be confirmed that the screw is loose.
Records and tags :
Record data : Record the measurement results of each screw, including the position of the screw, the measured torque value, and whether it is judged to be loose. These records facilitate subsequent maintenance and troubleshooting efforts.
Mark loose screws : For screws that are determined to be loose, you can use a paint pen or other marking tool to mark the screws near them so that they can be quickly found and processed during subsequent repairs.
Complete the work after the inspection :
Remove the torque wrench : After confirming that all screws have been inspected, loosen the torque wrench and remove the wrench head, and store the torque wrench properly to avoid collision or damage.
Handle loose screws : According to the recording and marking, the loose screws are tightened and tightened to the specified torque value using a torque wrench. If the screws or screw holes are found to be damaged, the screws should be replaced or repaired in time to ensure the normal operation of the reducer.
When using a torque wrench, follow safety operating procedures, such as wearing gloves, etc., to prevent injuries. At the same time, be patient and careful throughout the inspection process to ensure that each screw is accurately inspected.
