LOAD MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCH

Abstract: a hydraulic torque wrench and a method of determining a load exerted on a workpiece by a hydraulic torque wrench. the wrench may generally include a housing; a drive element for engaging the workpiece; a drive actuator for transmitting a torque to the drive element; and a gauge coupled to at least one of the housing and the drive actuator, the gauge being configured to detect a characteristic indicative of a torque exerted by the drive element to the workpiece. the wrench may include a sensor configured to detect rotation of the drive element.
