Torque Tester - Model 5500

Torque Tester/one part designed as a plug.

In the IEC 60950-1 Clause 4.3.6 is explained how to control the maximum torque that a device as mentioned above generates on a socket outlet.
Figure 11 of this standard describes such test equipment. In principle this equipment is balance test equipment.

Technical specification

  • The equipment is designed according to Fig. 11
  • Scale ranges are 0 - 0,25 Nm or 0 - 0,50 Nm
  • The equipment has a counter weight for setting zero balance
  • By moving the weights on a linear mm scale the torque that the plug is generating is measured
  • The two weights are 102 gram (1 N) or 204 gram (2 N) together with the weight holder
  • There are 3 types of adapters: for resp. UK, USA and Europe included

Instruction how to carry out the measurement

  • Control the zero balance without: weight and weight holder hanging on
  • Choose the correct adapter
  • Plug in the sample into the test equipment outlet
  • Use weight for 102 gram for measuring range 0-0,25 Nm
  • By moving the sample holder to correct position you find balance value of the torque
