Torque application system

Abstract

A torque application system for use in mechanical circuits and offset flanges is described. More precisely, the system of the invention comprises a set of elements that apply torque to the region of offset flanges capable of eliminating gaps in closed mechanical systems, wherein this set of components responsible for applying torque, in addition to promoting permanent contact of the mechanical system, allows a previously known load to be imposed. Accordingly, the system described herein allows analysis cycles to be achieved under different operating conditions that require smoothness, given the more uniform behavior of the mechanical system under analysis. Furthermore, due to internal load compensation means, the torque application system prevents overloads in the mechanical system, since compensating means provided with springs compensate for possible misalignments that could result in permanent plastic deformations in the elements to which the set of components of the torque applicator is coupled.
