Abstract
A screwing device provides an ultrasound-controlled tensioning of a screw connection. A measurement of the pre-tensioning force of the screw connection can be performed without complete fitting of a screwing tool on the screw connection. The screwing tool for this purpose is displaceable axially within a certain limit relative to the rotary drive shaft. The screwing tool is pre-tensioned by a spring in direction toward the screw connection, so that a contact pin arranged centrally inside the screwing tool for electrical contacting of a vibration body is arranged always inside the screwing tool to be protected.
Claims4
A screwing device with ultrasonic measuring arrangement for measuring a tension in a screw connection with a vibration body arranged on it, the screwing device comprising a screwing tool;
- a rotary drive shaft for transmitting a torque to said screwing tool;
- an evaluating device;
- contacting means for electrical signal transmission from said evaluation device to said vibration body and vice versa, said screwing tool being connected with said rotary drive shaft so that said screwing tool is fixed to said rotary drive shaft in a peripheral direction and is axially displaceable relative to said rotary drive shaft within a limit in an axial direction, said screwing tool being loaded axially with a spring force toward said screw connection.
