A device applies torque to a target component and applies counter-torque to a base component while the target component is rotated with regard to the base. The device may include a power source portion configured to generate torque and an engagement portion at a distal end of the device. The engagement portion may be selectably removable from the power source portion and includes a rotating shaft that engages a target component and is disposed within a housing having an engagement tip. The engagement tip may be configured to engage a target base. A torque limiter is removably positioned between the power source portion and the engagement portion and couples a powered distal tip of the power source portion and the rotating shaft. The torque limiter prevents a transfer of torque between the powered distal tip and the rotating shaft when the transferred torque is greater than a calibrated torque value.
A device that applies torque to a target component and applies counter-torque to a base component while the target component is rotated with regard to the base component, the device comprising:
A torque limiter for use in a device that applies torque to a target component and applies counter-torque to a base component while the target component is rotated with regard to the base, the torque limiter comprising:
A torque calibration verification plate configured to verify the calibration of a torque limiter, the plate comprising:
