Drive Adapter for Torque Reference Bottle
The Torque Reference Bottle (also known as ' Gold Bottle') provides a means of quickly verifying the calibration of motorized torque measuring systems Helixa and Vortex. Its magnetic clutch repeatedly slips at a factory-set, specified torque value. The Torque Reference Bottle is available in three nominal torque values—the part number-suffix indicates the value in N.m.
Application
To use the Torque Reference Bottle, a separate drive adapter (part no PDV12106) can be ordered. This fits loosely between the pegs of an Upper Fixing Table and when driven against the pegs by the motorized stand, it will apply torque to the magnetic clutch of the Reference Bottle causing it to slip at the pre-set value.
The torque value displayed by the Vortex/Helixa sensor can then be compared to the calibrated pre-set value of the Reference Bottle. The body of the Torque Reference Bottle can be held within the 4 pegs of a Lower Fixing Table. Two verification certificates are provided as standard by Mecmesin for each Reference Bottle; one in N.m, the other in lbf.in units.
