KERN Torque Gauge - DA 1-4 - Range 0,05Nm, 1Nm - Readability 0,2mNm - Test object (max) ⌀16mm
KERN DA 1-4
The DA 1-4 is a specialised torque gauge optimised for testing bottles, jars, and other packaging with screw tops. It is widely used in the food industry, pharmaceutical production, and cosmetic manufacturing, for example in testing lipsticks and similar small containers. With a measuring range up to 1 Nm and high readability, it ensures reliable and precise results for packaging tests.
The device features a quick pin system, allowing the four bottle holders to be pushed in instead of screwed in. This saves time and makes reconfiguration fast when switching to different bottle sizes, from 15 mm to 160 mm in diameter. Rubber coated holders and anti slip feet add stability during testing. The LCD graphic display with backlight shows clear values, while the capacity bar display indicates how much of the measuring range is still available.
The DA 1-4 includes Peak Hold to capture the maximum torque value and Track mode for continuous monitoring. A limit setting function lets users program upper and lower thresholds individually. If a limit is exceeded, the device gives both audible and visual signals. It can also be used in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, with overload protection up to 120 percent for added safety.
The gauge includes an internal memory that stores up to 500 results. Data transfer is easy with the built in USB and RS-232 interfaces. The rechargeable NiMH battery provides up to 18 hours of use with the backlight off, and the auto off function conserves power by switching off the device after a set time.
