1/4 In Dr Electronic Dial (ED) Torque Wrench - 5-50 in-lbs - CDI Torque Products

Specifications

The CDI Torque Products 1/4 In Dr Electronic Dial (ED) Torque Wrench, model 501ED-CDI, is engineered for precision torque application across a range of tasks. It features a 1/4 inch drive size, suitable for smaller fasteners. The wrench offers a torque range of 5 to 50 in-lbs, with the capability to display measurements in four units: in-lbs, ft-lbs, Nm, and kg.cm. This electronic torque wrench ensures high accuracy at ±1% clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) of the indicated value, spanning from 20% to 100% of its full scale. Weighing 1.25 lbs (0.57 kg) and measuring 11.5 inches (292 mm) in length, it is a manageable tool for precise work. Each wrench includes a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable certificate of calibration and meets or exceeds ASME B107.300 - 2010 standards.

Key Features

• Electronic Dial Display: Provides clear, real-time digital torque readings, minimizing human error often associated with analog scales. The display can also be rotated 180 degrees to accommodate left-handed users.
• Versatile Measurement Units: Equipped to measure torque in four distinct units: in-lbs, ft-lbs, Nm, and kg.cm, enhancing its adaptability for various international standards and specific job requirements.
• Comprehensive Feedback System: Integrates a 3-step LED visual signal system-yellow for approaching target torque, green for reaching target torque, and red for over-torque-along with an audible tone upon reaching the desired torque. An additional alarm tone activates if the wrench is overtorqued, preventing fastener damage.
• Peak Hold Mode: The wrench stores the peak torque reading for 10 seconds, which is beneficial for verification and quality control documentation.
• Robust Construction: Constructed from a special Capron® material, the wrench offers enhanced durability and resistance to many chemicals encountered in industrial environments. Its battery cover is designed to be aviation FOD (Foreign Object Debris) proof.
• Ergonomic Design: The wrench body is ergonomically designed to ensure comfortable handling and efficient use during extended operations.
• Torque Orientation Bar Graph: A visual bar graph helps users confirm the correct orientation of torque application.

Applications

The 1/4 In Dr Electronic Dial Torque Wrench is suitable for a diverse range of applications demanding precise torque control. Its precision makes it an essential tool for:

• Precision Assembly Work: Ideal for delicate fastening tasks in manufacturing where exact torque specifications are paramount.
• Automotive and Small Engine Repair: Used for securing small components, engine parts, and other light automotive tasks where lower torque values are critical.
• Electronics Manufacturing and Maintenance: Ensures accurate fastening of components within sensitive electronic devices, preventing potential damage from over-tightening.
• Aerospace Industry: Applicable in aerospace assembly and maintenance, particularly for critical joints requiring precise torque and angle control with traceability.
• Quality Control and Auditing: Facilitates accurate torque verification on assembled components, contributing to product reliability and adherence to specifications.
• General Maintenance and Repair: A versatile tool for various repair scenarios where controlled and consistent torque application is necessary.

Benefits

• Enhanced Precision and Reliability: Provides superior accuracy, reducing the common risks of overtightening leading to component damage or undertightening resulting in fastener failure. The ±1% accuracy helps ensure every fastener is secured correctly.
• Minimizes Errors and Rework: The clear digital display and advanced feedback system (LEDs and audible tones) eliminate guesswork, which significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect torque application, saving time and resources on rework.
• Boosts User Confidence: Operators can apply torque with increased confidence due to instantaneous and clear feedback, even in low-light conditions or awkward angles, as the display can be rotated.
• Increases Operational Efficiency: Quick setup, multi-unit functionality, and clear indicators streamline the torque application process, contributing to faster and more efficient task completion.
• Supports Quality Assurance: With NIST traceable calibration and the ability to capture peak torque readings, the wrench aids in meeting stringent quality control standards and provides documentation for critical applications.
• Durable and Long-Lasting Investment: Its construction with Capron® material provides resistance to wear, tear, and chemicals, ensuring sustained accuracy and dependable performance over time in demanding environments.
