What is the working principle of wrench?

Wrenches are used to wrench a certain range of sizes of bolts and nuts, open and close valve and rod threads, etc.

It is a hand tool that uses the principle of leverage to turn bolts, screws, nuts and other threaded fasteners. Wrenches are usually equipped with a bolt or nut clamping opening or sleeve hole at one or both ends of the shank. When used, the bolt or nut can be unscrewed by applying external force to the shank in the direction of thread rotation.

Wrenches are usually made of carbon structural steel or alloy structural steel.

What is an open wrench?

An open wrench is a wrench with a fixed size opening at one or both ends to turn a nut or bolt of a certain size. It can be used in conjunction with a hand hammer when the torque is high. There are two types of open wrench in common use: single-ended and double open wrench.

The open wrench is mostly used to tighten or loosen standard size bolts and nuts. It can be inserted up and down or laterally, which is easy to use. It cannot be used to tighten bolts or nuts with larger torque.

What is the point of using open wrench?

1)The open wrench can only wrench the bolt or nut in a limited space, and after the bolt or nut is wrenched to the limit position, the wrench is taken out and the original process is repeated.

2)The direction of wrench should be towards the direction of the attached jaws.

3)When using open wrench for final tightening, the force applied to the wrench should not be too large, otherwise it will cause the thread to slip.

4)The wrench should be clamped on the bolt intact to increase the contact area.

5)Only use the wrench with the same size as the bolt or nut pair distance

6If the wrench specification size is chosen large, it will damage the bolt or nut. Wrong use of wrench will damage the wrench or bolt and nut.

How to choose open wrench?

(1) Visually inspect the width of the platform of the head of the bolt, or use a gauge to measure it and choose the size of the wrench according to the width.

(2) The type of wrench should be appropriate and fit with the bolt or nut Generally, plum wrench can replace open wrench.

What is a ratchet wrench?

Ratchet wrench, belongs to the technical field of wrench tools. Said ratchet wrench, including a wrench body, the head of the wrench body in the holding space with a spring, pawl, spring and ratchet wheel, wherein said ratchet wheel consists of a ratchet wheel body and a spacer, the spacer is a ring with a concave ring groove on the periphery, the spacer is cooperatively set on one side of the ratchet wheel body. The said ratchet wrench, by decomposing the original one-piece ratchet part into a combination of ratchet body and spacer, avoids the processing difficulty caused by the high side and low side of the concave ring groove on the original ratchet part, and because the ratchet body and spacer part are relatively easy to process, the ratchet wrench processing productivity is greatly improved and the production cost is also reduced.

What is a plum wrench?

plum wrench:The working end with hexagonal or dodecagonal holes at both ends is suitable for applications where the working space is small and ordinary wrenches cannot be used.

The plum wrench can change the wrenching direction as long as it is turned 30°, so it is more convenient to work in narrow places.

What are the structural features of plum wrench?

(1)The two ends of plum wrench are sockets. The inner bore of the sleeve has two square hexagons concentrically staggered by 30° from each other.

into

(2) When using, the wrench can be changed after 30° of wrenching, which is suitable for operation in narrow places.

(3)When using, the head of the bolt or nut is all enclosed, not easy to fall off, safe and reliable.

(4)Compared with open wrench, the torque of plum wrench is larger, but it is also more restricted by space(5)The handle of wrench with bend or angle can provide clearance for fingers when using to prevent bruising fingers

How to use plum wrench?

(1)Don’t use plum wrench with damaged or cracked plum wrench, otherwise it will hurt you.

(2) Hexagonal plum wrench is more slip resistant than 12-sided plum wrench.

(3) The plum wrench should be selected to fit the size of the bolt or nut.

(4) To set the bolt or nut firmly before wrenching force, otherwise it will damage the bolt or nut.

(5) You cannot tighten the wrench by putting a pipe on it to increase the length of the wrench; this will damage the wrench or the bolt and nut.

What is a dual-use wrench?

Dual-use wrench is the same as single-ended open wrench at one end and plum wrench at the other end, and both ends unscrew the same size bolt or nut.

What is adjustable wrench?

What are the types of Torque wrench?

Torque wrench is generally divided into four categories: manual, electric, pneumatic and hydraulic according to the power source used: manual basically means manual wrench: pneumatic is powered by compressed air; electric means both AC and DC electricity can be used as power source; hydraulic class is similar to pneumatic, but the hydraulic source is provided by hydraulic oil.

According to the classification of working principle, torque wrench can be divided into two categories: indication type and preset type indication type can be subdivided into digital display type and pointer type, preset type can be subdivided into mechanical preset mechanical fixed value type and screwdriver, etc.

What is pre-set Torque wrench?

The preset torque wrench has a preset torque value and an acoustic device. When the torque applied reaches the set value, the wrench will make a “kata” sound or bend the wrench connection at an angle, which means it has been tightened and no more force should be applied, indicating the completion of the work. After releasing the force, the relevant parts of the wrench can be reset automatically.

How to use the torque wrench?

Set the required torque value and push the locking device to the lck position.

Please adjust the torque from small value to large value, if it exceeds the set value, please adjust it back to lower than the set torque value and then adjust it again.

Do not adjust the torque directly from the maximum value to the minimum value.

Check that the torque wrench drive head is suitable or use a suitable adapter.

Make sure that the wrench and the object to be applied are properly bonded before applying force.

The application position is the center of the grip.

Apply force smoothly and slowly, and stop applying force when you hear the “click” sound.

After use, the set value should be turned back to the minimum scale.

When using a high torque wrench, the operator should pay attention to the center of gravity of the body.

How to maintain the torque wrench?

Adjust the torque value to the minimum value after using the torque wrench.

Preload the torque wrench before using it.

Do not “overload” the torque wrench

Do not use the torque wrench as other tools.

Keep the torque wrench clean and intact

Check the torque wrench regularly

The torque value of screw removal is about 1.5 times the locking torque value.

How to use the wrench?

When using the wrench, you should choose the wrench with the appropriate specifications to operate according to the shape, specifications and working conditions of the screws and nuts. Attention should be paid to the following safety operation matters.

1. open wrench, socket wrenches, plum wrench and hexagonal wrench are called special wrenches

1. The feature of open wrench is that the single-headed one can only screw one size of screw head or nut, and the double-headed one can only screw two sizes of screw head or nut.

1. open wrench should be used to make the wrench open with the spinning guard after good cooperation and then force, such as contact is not good when the force is easy to slip off, so that the operator body imbalance

1. Socket wrenches should also be used with good contact before exerting force, and when the plum sockets and wrench handles are found to be deformed or cracked, they should stop being used, and attention should be paid to removing dirt and oil from the sockets at all times.

1. hexagonal wrench should pay attention to choose the right specification and model when using it to prevent it from slipping off and hurting your hand

2. adjustable wrench is composed of wrench body, fixed jaw, movable jaw and worm, etc. It is a universal wrench.

1. The opening size of adjustable wrench can be adjusted within a certain range, so the screws and nuts within the opening size can be used in general. However, you should not use a large size wrench to tighten a smaller size screw, which will break the screw due to excessive torque.

1. The opening should be adjusted according to the size of the hexagonal head of the screw or the hexagonal side of the nut, and the gap should not be too large, otherwise it will damage the screw head or the nut, and it will easily slip off and cause injury.

1. The fixed jaws should be subjected to the main force, the wrench handle should be pulled tightly in the direction of the operator and not pushed forward, the wrench handle should not be arbitrarily long, and the wrench should not be used as a hammering tool.

How to use electric wrench?

1. Confirm whether the power supply connected to the site matches with the nameplate of the electric wrench. Whether there is an electric leakage protector connected.

1. Choose the matching sleeve according to the size of the nut and install it properly.

1. Make sure the switch on the electric wrench is off before sending power, otherwise the electric wrench will turn immediately and unexpectedly when the plug is inserted into the power socket, which may incur the danger of injury to the personnel.

1. If the work place is far away from the power supply and the cable needs to be extended, the extension cable with sufficient capacity should be used to install qualified extension cable. Extension cable such as through the pedestrian passage should be done to prevent the cable is crushed damage measures.

1. If you find that the carbon spark of the motor is abnormal when you use it, you should stop working immediately, check and deal with it, and troubleshoot it. In addition, the carbon brush must be kept clean.

How to use the torque wrench?

1. Please do not strongly impact during use
2. Never use it as a hammer to hit the workpiece.
3. Do not continue to apply force after the wrench alarm.
4. Before use, please check whether the arrow on the wrench is consistent with the direction of force application, if not, please rotate the wrench head 180 degrees and reinstall it.
5. Please do not disassemble the wrench parts by yourself to avoid damaging the accuracy and affecting the use.
6. For preset torque wrenches, the torque value should be set to zero after use to maintain the accuracy of the wrench and prolong its service life.

How to choose a wrench?

Select the corresponding wrenches according to the characteristics of the fasteners being fastened;

Selection order:Socket wrenches a plum wrench an open wrench-adjustable wrench;

The principle of choosing wrench:Buy.com editors suggest you to give priority to plum wrench, Socket wrenches, followed by open wrench, and finally choose adjustable wrench.

What material of wrench is good: the material of wrench is generally carbon steel and alloy steel, alloy steel is generally chrome vanadium steel mostly; chrome vanadium steel has many grades, generally speaking, the higher the grade, the better the quality is relatively. Carbon steel materials are generally used for low-grade products, while chrome vanadium steel is generally used for medium and high-grade products.

Appearance and style: There are many styles of dual-use wrenches, the conventional ones are convex shin, concave shin and flat shin. The production process of each kind is different, and the surface treatment is also very different. The convex shin is mostly made of carbon steel, and the concave shin is mostly made of alloy steel.

Appearance punching: plum-shaped full, beautiful curve, uniform wall thickness, more standardized. The opening part, the form is rounded, the outside is overly gentle, smooth and smooth. The inner wall of the hole is flat and even, no burr and no knife marks. At the grip, rounded and without flying edge.

Surface treatment: There are many kinds of surface treatment, such as polishing, mirror, frosted matte, blackening, electrophoresis, etc. Among them, there are many kinds of nuances of frosted matte. Among them, the most high-grade watermark fog. There is also a very important, is the quality of the above specifications and trademarks. The trademark and specifications should be clear and distinct, and the font should be even and exquisite.

Thickness: The smaller the thickness of the wrench with the same specification, the higher the requirement to meet the standard of torque and other aspects, and the lighter the weight, the more comfortable it is for people to use, so the quality is about good.

Tolerance range: for example, a 14MM nut corresponds to a 14MM opening; the opening needs to be enlarged appropriately to facilitate a quick fit; however, it should not be enlarged too much, as this will damage the nut and make it “slip the thread”. So it is necessary to be precise in the opening or plum mouth size.

Torque and hardness: excellent quality is the need for a perfect combination of hardness and toughness, too hard toughness is not easy to break; too soft easy to deform.

Choose the corresponding wrench according to the characteristics of the fastener being fastened.

What is the relationship between the bolt connection and the torque?

The failure phenomenon of bolts includes bolt elongation and even fracture, slippery teeth, etc. These phenomena greatly affect the normal production and even serious accidents, so it is necessary to understand what is the tightening torque of bolts and how much is the right size? The torque of a bolt is related to the diameter of the thread, material, surface treatment, surface roughness and many other factors, but it is extremely important that it is closely related to the size of the friction coefficient on the surface of the thread.
