Mountz articulated torque arms absorb the torque reaction emitted from power tools, enhancing operator comfort and reducing fatigue. The torque arms provide exceptional agility, making them perfect for complex and dynamic tasks. These arms enhance ergonomic support by allowing operators to maneuver tools precisely and efficiently, significantly reducing physical strain and preventing repetitive motion injuries. With the ability to bend like an elbow, articulated torque arms can be used in various positions, making them suitable for various applications. Whether working in tight spaces or needing to adjust the angle frequently, these arms provide the required flexibility.

Calibrating Break-Over-Over Wrench To calibrate break-over wrench, either use a torque analyzer or torque sensor within the torque wrench range. For break-over wrenches, calibrate torque in "Peak" mode with a torque tester or torque sensor. Make sure to apply the torque slowly and smoothly. 1. Select a torque tester or torque sensor that covers the torque range of the wrench. Connect the wrench to the torque tester or sensor and use the appropriate adapters. 2. Apply torque clockwise slowly until wrench 'breaks-over' and note reading. 3. Adjust wrench to required torque setting as described above. 4. Test and repeat adjustment as necessary to obtain desired torque value. 5. Recalibrate break-over wrench at prescribed intervals.
TBX-12 Stop Collar TBX-12 model supplied with a removable stop collar, which restricts the "break" angle to 20º. If the collar is removed, the "break" angle increases to 90º. Maintenance Schedule Like an automobile, torque wrenches contain moving parts that require periodic servicing and lubrication.
20º
90º
Period Between Resetting of Torque 20,000 fastening operations. It is acknowledged that some tools may achieve 20,000 operations in a relatively short period of time. Under these circumstances, the user may decide, with the benefit of their experience, to increase the period between calibration intervals. Routine Maintenance After 60,000 operations, strip, clean, and re-grease the spring and internal components. Any worn parts should be replaced. Note: Any tool that is dismantled during its life must be re-lubricated in accordance with the Mountz recommendations. Do not clean tools by immersing them in a solvent, as this will destroy the internal lubrication and cause the tool's failure. Testing and Servicing Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine-tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Regular torque calibration of a break-over wrench ensures accuracy, repeatable tool performance, and adherence to international standards. We recommend a general once a year calibration interval.
