Thread connection is widely used in mechanical connection. Torque wrench can feedback tightening torque in real time, and can apply more accurate tightening torque, which is widely used in engineering. Some assembly lines in aerospace or military field the tightening accuracy need to reach 0.1%, comparing with the only 1% accuracy of ordinary working wrench, the high precision torque wrench is needed to apply the high accuracy torque in aerospace or military field. Two methods are introduced to improve the measurement accuracy of the torque wrench. One is to design the transducer with pure torsional transformation when it is used. The other is to apply linearity correction to the transducer by circuit software. The results shows the accuracy of the torque wrench is 0.1%, which is much higher than ordinary work wrench.
