Torque ToolsDIGITAL TORQUE TOOL
Normally, torque is only thought of as a means to prevent an assembly from loosening under vibration or other external forces. But in the present environment it is equally important not to over tighten an assembly risking damage to plating, threads, or fastening components made of metal or composite materials, and risking failure, or a reduced service life of the wiring system. DMC introduces the BT-ST-300D Digital Torque Tool which provides OEMs and field service techs with a simple and efficient way to precisely measure the torque values. This state-of-the-art product was developed specifically to meet the demands of connector and connector/accessory final assembly. The optional Static Mount Base was an integral design objective to provide OEM and Depot level operations utilization of the Digital Torque Tool as a bench-top or wiring board mountable Torque Station. Several features of the tool make it a great addition to the DMC BETA™ Connector Accessory Tool product line. A few of the many features are listed to the right:

Higher Torque ratings to meet mechanical fastening requirements and the need for improved electrical bonding have fostered the need for an improved Torque Tightening System. DMC has responded to that need with a unique Digital Torque System that is rugged, flexible, and easy to use. This highly repeatable Digital Torque System can be easily used with other BETA™ Connector Accessory Tools to maintain precise tightening consistency through every facet of wiring system final assembly.
STATIC MOUNT BASES FOR DIGITAL TORQUE TOOLSDMC’s Static Mount Base is a secure system to mount the Digital Torque Tool in a static position. Until now, it required two separate torque devices to have the ability for portable or static (or stationary) use, but DMC has designed one system that allows the conversion of a hand-held portable unit into a stable, high production torque station in just a few minutes. This will allow a hands-free environment that is accurate, repeatable, and a far more ergonomic torque station for final assembly. The base can be configured for horizontal or vertical positioning of the tool and allows the tool to tilt 90 degrees in each configuration for usability. The tool can still be switched between clockwise and counter-clockwise functions while attached to the Static Mount Base. Because of their compact size and lightweight construction, it can be mounted in a variety of locations either on workbench or even on harness form board. There will sometimes be applications where the use of a static unit is impractical. In which case, the Digital Torque Tool is easily removed from the Static Mount Base. |

STRAP WRENCH ATTACHEMNT FOR THE DIGITAL TORQUE TOOL
DMC’s handle-less strap wrench line has been specifically designed for torque accurate connector assembly. Based on DMC’s established line of torque wrenches, the handle-less strap wrench attaches to the BT-ST-300D and provides accurate torque without the interference of the strap wrench handle.
Modern connectors and accessories comprised of lightweight materials, torque sensitive threads, and critical platings have mandated the requirement for precision strap wrenches. DMC Strap Wrenches meet this need by applying a uniform grip around the diameter and avoid pressure points or metal-to-metal contact.
A variety of widths and lengths of straps is available in several different head configurations, so the system is suited to all common connector applications. See page 35 or our Web site for a full list of handle-less strap wrench part numbers.
