Torque Wrench Spring Storage
Torque Wrench Spring Storage
(OP)
We are thinking of asking our techs to store torque wrenches on the lowest torque setting. The manufacturer recommends this because they say it makes the spring last longer. Isn't this trade off though? There will be more load cycles if we keep destressing and then restressing the tool internal springs for daily use. Is keeping the spring under stress worse for the fatigue life than the extra cycles it will cause? Should we only do this for wrenches that go unused for long periods?

Creep is caused by constant force on the spring but in this case the spring is deflecetd to constant length therefore, the spring relaxes and loose force.

When the spring is compressed to a specified length the force of the spring is reduced with time due to relaxation. In creep test the force is constant. In the wrench the condition are of relaxation.
