  • Patent number: 4864841
    Abstract: An electronic torque wrench equipped with at least two strain gages placed on both sides of a crosswise plane on a part forming a sensor and each supplying an output voltage, C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 respectively, which, depending on torque C applied by the wrench to an actuation point A, reacts on an electronic circuit indicating this torque. The wrench comprises a first electronic circuit for determining and storing a constant factor k during a calibration measurement for which torque C is applied at actuation point A is made zero by a parasitic force F' applied in the opposite direction of actuation force F and at a point E of the wrench other than point B of application of the latter force F, the constant factor k being used during each use of the wrench by the electronic circuit to determine, with second circuit and by application of the formula C=C.sub.1 +k(C.sub.1 -C.sub.2), the value of torque C applied to actuation point A as a function of torques C.sub.1 and C.sub.
