A torque meter is a device used to measure the torque, or rotational force, applied to an object. It is commonly used in various industries, including automotive and manufacturing, to ensure that bolts and screws are tightened to the correct specifications. Accurate torque measurement is essential for safety and performance in mechanical systems. Torque meters can be mechanical or electronic, with electronic models often providing digital readouts for easier interpretation. They come in various forms, such as torque wrenches and torque transducers, and are essential tools for engineers and technicians working with machinery and equipment.
