    Company Description

    Norbar are a world leading British manufacturer of Torque Wrenches, Multipliers and Torque Measurement equipment. We also offer a UKAS accredited torque calibration service.

    Torque Wrenches

    Norbar manufacture an extensive range of high quality torque wrenches to cover torque values from 1 N.m to 1500 N.m.  They are designed and manufactured to exceed international standards for accuracy.

    In addition to the normal 'adjustable' torque wrenches, Norbar offer Production 'P' Type versions which can be pre-set and dedicated to a particular application.  This setting system is designed to discourage unauthorised alteration.

    All Norbar torque wrenches are offered as standard with a quality ratchet.  For applications where interchangeable end fittings are required, 'Torque Handles' are also available in various models up to 550 N.m. 



    Torque Multipliers

    Norbar's precision torque multipliers cover a range up to 100,000 N.m (73,000 lbf.ft).  They are available in versions that are hand operated (Handtorques), pneumatically powered (Pneutorques) or electrically powered (Electrotorques).  These multipliers provide the perfect solution where controlled torque is required up to high values.  These are continuously rotating tools with no impacting or impulsing.  Not only does this give vastly superior torque control to impact wrenches of similar output, but noise and vibration levels are also much lower.

    Versions of the powered tools are available with controls on the tool itself for hand held/hand guided operation or 'remote controlled'.  The 'remote controlled' configured versions require external circuitry for on/off and direction switching and are ideal for building into single or multispindle production tooling.


    Torque Measurement

    Norbar's torque transducers have established an excellent reputation based on exceptional quality and accuracy.  A very wide torque range is covered, 0.04 N.m to 100,000 N.m and three basic transducer configurations are offered; Static, Impulse Rotary and Annular.



    All transducers up to 5000 N.m (or 5000 lbf.ft) are supplied as standard with a UKAS calibration certificate from Norbar's in-house laboratory. Larger transducers are supplied with a certificate traceable to national standards.

    For customers who wish to take advantage of Norbar's transducers but have an existing, non Norbar display instrument, transducers can be provided with a mV/V calibration

    Norbar's instruments and transducers are complimented by a wide range of ancillary products.  Within this group are the products that would be required to set up a torque calibration laboratory, for example, torque wrench loaders meeting ISO requirements and precision beam and weight systems for calibration of torque transducers.
