Socket Wrench
A Socket Wrench is a tool with a specific socket for tightening and loosening Threaded Probes.
Depending on the design, it can act directly on the drive profile or be applied with interchangeable inserts such as bits. This enables safe and uniform force transmission as well as controlled tightening or loosening.
Socket Wrenches are used in test engineering, particularly during the assembly and adjustment of Test Fixtures and contact systems.
FAQ
The drive profile determines the form of power transmission between the tool and the Threaded Probe. Only with a precise fit (e.g., triangular, hexagonal, or bit profile) can torque be transmitted with minimal loss and without causing damage.
A suitable Socket Wrench ensures uniform torque transmission and prevents local stress peaks. This protects threads, drive profiles, and adjacent components and improves assembly quality.
Socket wrenches are used in test engineering and test adapter construction, for example, during the assembly and adjustment of components.
