Precision torque and crimp testing solutions
Improperly tightened fasteners and loose connectors are leading causes of equipment failure.

Imada, Inc. provides professional-grade digital torque screwdrivers, wrenches, calibrators and wire crimp testers designed to ensure faultless operation.

Digital Torque Testing
Our instruments operate in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions and feature selectable units (lbf, kgf, and N). Offerings include:

  • Digital Torque Calibrators: Our digital torque calibrators are easy-to-use and ensure consistency across your entire tool inventory. By verifying the accuracy of impact drivers, torque-controlled drivers, and manual click-type wrenches, these units prevent costly under-torqueing or over-torqueing errors.
  • Digital Torque Wrenches with GO/NG audible and visual indicators: Our unique drive-centered torque sensor delivers consistent readings no matter where the wrench is gripped and load applied. Unlike standard wrenches, you can extend the handle to any length for increased leverage without compromising the reading.

Wire Crimp Testing
Loose crimped-on terminals lead to intermittent failures. Imada, Inc. offers both automatic and manual testers to verify terminal pull-off force (lbf, kgf, and N). All testers include a 12-slot multi-terminal grip that accommodates wire diameters from 1–8mm (AWG 30–8).

  • ACT-220 Automatic Tester: Performs destructive or non-destructive tests up to 220 lbf, features an EL display, 26 programmable test profiles, and internal memory for up to 1,500 results.
  • Manual Pull Testers: The NPT (standard) and NPL (lightweight) series utilize an ergonomic, single-stroke pull-down motion, available in 110 lbf and 220 lbf capacities.Take a look at the ACT-220 in this video.

Data Management
Our instruments capture peak torque or peak force data and output to PCs via RS-232 or wirelessly. Optional data acquisition software is available.

Quality Assurance & Standards
Imada, Inc. maintains an ISO 9001 quality assurance program and ISO/IEC 17025 Testing and Calibration Laboratory Accreditation. All equipment includes a calibration certificate traceable to NIST.

The Imada Advantage: Our Four-Point Service Plan
1. Technical Support: Direct access to knowledgeable sales and engineering staff.

2. Fast Delivery: Most equipment ships the same day from our large in-house inventory.

3. Custom Applications: Readily available solutions tailored to specific customer needs.

4. Rapid Service: Fast calibration and repair, including 24-hour turnaround emergency service.

 

 

Sankosha USA

Sankosha has developed and manufactured the Ceramic Gas Tube Surge Arrester (Gas Discharge Tube or GDT). Sankosha gas tube arresters protect personnel, equipment and circuitry from abnormally high voltages caused by lightning or electrical transients. Sankosha’s surge protection devices have well defined surge-limiting characteristics enabling them to spark over (or breakdown) when the abnormal voltage on a line reaches a specific level. When sparkover occurs in the GDT, the surge is redirected to earth. Throughout the world, products from Sankosha factories provide protection for equipment and personnel.

American Wire Group

American Wire Group delivers comprehensive wire and cable solutions at competitive prices. No matter how complex your cable-related projects are, experts at our regional distribution centers are prepared to help in both small and large-scale capacities. As a trusted partner in the energy industry, we routinely reduce outages, source difficult-to-find products, customize cables for clients, and more.

The renewable energy sector involves many cable applications that face unique challenges. Wind turbines and solar power components are subject to extreme weather conditions and can be located in remote, inaccessible areas that make transmitting power difficult. Thus, it is essential to select the ideal cable type for applications in these industries.

Here are some specific considerations for wind turbine cables:

  • Enhanced mechanical properties: Wind turbine towers can be up to a few hundred feet tall. These heights affect cable length, so selecting cables with higher tensile strength is important. Cables should also have good torsional attributes and resist oil and flame.
  • Insulation: Harsh environmental conditions around wind farms often call for specific insulation. Insulated wires offer protection against voltage stresses, can operate over a wide temperature range, and better withstand mechanical abuse to the wire such as abrasion and bending.
  • Conductor: Both size and material of the conductor are integral considerations for wind turbine cables. Aluminum cables are increasingly replacing copper cables as tower and base components because aluminum is cheaper and 60% lighter.
