U.S. Mountz Inc. Releases New SDX Torque Sensor for Fastening Application

The SDX torque sensor available from Mountz, Inc. is an instrument designed for torque auditing, verification or tightening fasteners. The SDX sensor connects to a torque tester and is used to accurately audit the residual torque on a previously tightened fastener. The sensor is used for three common torque verification tests: first movement test, loosening test or a marking test.

The SDX torque sensor is small and compact and has an ergonomic rubber grip. Mountz offers two models covering a torque range capacity from 1 - 50 inch-pounds. A torque sensor is used in conjunction with a torque analyzer. The instrument features a built-in overload protection and contains the Mountz ARC II technology, which is an instant auto-recognition system of the sensor when mated to the Mountz FTA, LTT or PTT torque testers. Plus, when the SDX unit is connected with a Mountz torque analyzer an engineer can capture and store the data results that are collected during a torque test and then download the data to a PC.
