Optics used to measure torque at high rotational speeds

In measuring torque transmitted by a high speed rotation shaft, an apparatus has been devised which includes a shaft, an optical system and readout servomechanism. This highly accurate method uses only optical contact with moving part and is statically calibrated.

Bidirectional torque filter eliminates backlash

Two elastic springs connecting a hub and two spur gears absorb bidirectional step torque differentials and provide antibacklash characteristics between input and output shafts. This device is used in precise control systems.

Air brake-dynamometer accurately measures torque

Air brake-dynamometer assembly combines the principles of the air turbine and the air pump to apply braking torque. The assembly absorbs and measures power outputs of rotating machinery over a wide range of shaft speeds. It can also be used as an air turbine.

Modified power tool rapidly drives series torque bolts

Feeder attachment, which fits on a standard power driver, drives a series of longitudinally attached torque bolts into place with great speed. It allows loading of a series of bolts and then positions individual bolts in the driving head for assembly. The attachment contains a socket gun which may be modified to accommodate different types and sizes of bolts.

Torque wrench allows readings from inaccessible locations

Torque wrench with an adjustable drive shaft permits indicator to remain in view when used on sections of equipment with limited access. The shaft is capable of protruding from either side of the wrench head by means of spring loaded balls.
