AWS: Fixed Handle Torque Loader
Loaders
Reduce technician fatique. Increase throughput of large torque wrenches.
Loaders for How You Work
There are two schools of thought on how best to load a torque wrench: apply force to the torque wrench handle while preventing the wrench square drive from moving, or by preventing the handle from moving while rotating the output square of the wrench. AWS produces both styles of loaders.
Build the Best System for You
AWS designs and manufactures loaders so that they can be enhanced easily. We offer expanded capability, multiple use platforms, offset reaction fixtures, arms and segments to test cable tensiometers. Build your own system with the lowest price-to-value ratio in the industry.
Automate for Increased Accuracy
All of the AWS torque wrench loaders can be supplied with a motor and controller for semi-automatic torque wrench testing, increasing throughput on large torque wrenches while reducing technician influence on torque measurements.
AWS-1000 Series torque wrench loaders are designed to use AWS-ILI/ILF transducers. Enhance this system further with the SMD Tools v2 software, which can be used with the manual or motorized models.

The AWS-1001, when used in conjunction with AWS-ILI/ILF transducers, provides system accuracy up to ±0.25% of indicated reading, top 95% of transducer's range, satisfying calibration requirements while its robust design enables use in the harshest environments.
The optional rolling cart provides a sturdy base as well as secure storage for transducers, adapters, and tools. The cart features heavy duty casters, locking wheels and keylock security.
Intellect Series Transducers
AWS offers a complete line of Intellect Series static torque transducers to cover a range from 0.5 Ozf.in. through 2,000 Lbf Ft. The transducer calibration data is stored within the transducer housing. The range and calibration information is read directly when the transducer is connected to the AWS-4050, Tools v2, or the AWS-1001 display/controller system.
Features
- Machined aluminum base for stability.
- Heavy duty gearbox provides rotation of transducer (AWS-1001).
- Shaped handles on base for improved grip.
- Wrench reaction slide for ease of adjustment for torque wrench handle length.
- System accuracy of ±0.25% of indicated reading

Force Testing
By using the optional force measurement attachments, including a variety of cables, quadrants, pins, and adapters, the AWS-1000 series loaders can be quickly configured for cable tensiometer, compression, and load testing. The AWS-1000 provides display and storage of force and torque inputs.
The AWS-TTL90 Torque wrench loaders are capable of rotating 90° for testing torque wrenches in both horizontal and vertical positions. Information supplied on request.
