Murrelektronik’s M8 and M12 torque wrenches

In this article, PIF looks into the benefits of using a Murrelektronik torque wrench to keep your connectors safe and secure. We explore the various models available, including M12 Torque wrenches and M8 Bolt Torques, which can be used in a number of different industrial applications.

Tightening connectors by hand is no fun, often resulting in sore fingers and a high risk that the connections will get damaged. This poses a major risk in the industrial field, especially in IP67 applications. If connections aren't correctly sealed, you can expect to incur a lot of additional maintenance work and costs in the long-run.
