IEC60065 Figure 11 Plug Torque Test Apparatus

Product information:

This plug torque tester conforms to the standard of IEC60065 figure 11. It is used for checking whether the mechanical stress which occurs when the Direct Plug-in Equipment with plug pin normally insert into the socket is in the required range.

A device provided with pins intended to be introduced into fixed socket-outlets shall not impose undue strain on these socket-outlets.
The balancing arm of the test apparatus pivots about a horizontal axis through the centre lines of the contact tubes of the socket-outlet at a distance of 8 mm behind the engagement face of the socket-outlet.

With the device not in engagement, the balancing arm is in equilibrium, the engagement face of the socket-outlet being in the vertical position.
After the device has been engaged, the torque to be applied to the socket-outlet to maintain its engagement face in the vertical plane is determined by the position of a weight on the balancing arm. The torque shall not exceed 0.25 Nm.

This device has the advantages of good sensitivity, easy adjustment, simple operation and beautiful appearance. Equipped with a variety of socket fixture, strong practicality.

Technical parameters:

Operation steps:

1. Level and balance adjustment

(1) Adjust the feet, to make the device in a level state, the bubble is in the center position.

(2) Rotate the lifting nut so that the balance arm is balanced and the bubble is in the center position.

2.Sample installation

(1) Select the socket clamp and tighten.

3.Torque measurement

(1) The appropriate weight is hung on the lower scale.

(2) Move the weight slowly until the balance arm is in a horizontal state.

Torque of the sample applied to the socket : Scale value X weight

For example:Torque:0.12mX2.5N=0.3Nm

Notice:

1.This device needs to be placed on a fixed horizontal table.

2.Balance arm rotation need to periodic lubrication
