Superior Longevity and
Cost E!ective Design.
Stahlwille 730N series torque tools
set the standard for accuracy and
long life.
Because of the unique proven design,
key components manufactured in
house and uncompromising quality it
is not uncommon for Stahlwille
mechanical torque wrenches to see
over 400,000 activations before
replacement.
That is a 20 year service life at
maximum activations (5,000) each
year. DIN EN ISO6789 compliant.
Evolution of a proven design.
The 730N series evolves from
the proven 730 series wrenches. 730
wrenches built their reputation for
accuracy and durability in the
harshest industrial conditions on
oil platforms, remote wind turbine
facilities, MRO operations, OEM’s
and deployed military units.
Accurate Setting with “Quick
Select.”
New to the 730N “Quick
Select” allows for very accurate
setting of torque values. This is
done quickly and easily with or
without gloves in virtually any
lighting conditions. Even adjust
one handed!

Serial Number
Since 1992 every Stahlwille Torque Wrench has left the factory with a unique 9 digit
serial number. The serial number is not random but indicates where and when the
wrench was manufactured and tested.
The following example illustrates how to interpret a Stahlwille generated serial
number. We’ll use the wrench number above to illustrate.

Example: 607015002

607015002 The first digit refers to the factory calibration station.

Switching Group
Stahlwille Tools North
America provides a 3 year
accuracy warranty on the
switching group. In addition there
are special warranty
considerations for military
customers and OEM’s who meet
certain requirements. Please talk to
your representative or call
Stahlwille Tools North America for
more information.
The accuracy warranty states
that Stahlwille Tools North
America guarantees that at each
calibration period, not to exceed 1
year and at the customers expense,
the 730N series wrenches will
calibrate back to the factory
specification of +/-3%. If the
wrench cannot be adjusted to
+/-3% Stahlwille Tools North
America will replace the switching
group with a new version which
will then carry 3 years of warranty
forward.
Machined Beam
Stahlwille introduced a new
machined beam in 2007 designed
to offer even greater accuracy and
repeatability. These beams are
identified by a black coating. The
new beam reduces friction,
enhances corrosion resistance and
provides calibration accuracy of
+/-1% achievable by the customer

Regarding Inserts & Calibration

ATTENTION
Stahlwille makes a very popular Quick Release ratcheting insert.
If your customer ordered these inserts please note:
These inserts will not calibrate correctly (Exception is the 1/4” QR) as a
factor must be applied to compensate for the added length of the insert.
All Stahlwille Torque Wrenches are calibrated at the factory to the
standard insert center point.

Note! This is how to achieve the correct tightening torque -
even if you are using inserts with an extension
When you tighten fasteners using inserts whose extension length S deviates from the standard length SF' it is necessary
to recalculate the setting/display value for the torque wrench in use. Caution! If adapters are combined with inserts
or special tools, use the sum of the extensions =J;S. Where the special tool is angled to the side, WK will have to be
determined empirically.

Torque Wrench Calibration & Procedures
Stahlwille Manoskop 730N & Na series.
All calibration procedures whether detailed in this document or elsewhere are to be
performed in accordance with the current DIN ISO 6789 standard.

A calibration device with a certified accuracy of +/-1% of all values to be measured is

required to complete adjustment / calibration or re-calibration tasks.

When the wrench is being loaded for test the following procedures are to be followed:

! Load must be applied to the middle of the handle at the point of the mark on
the handle. (Whether in a fixture or by hand). The embossed arrow and or other
markings are not intended for use as reference points.
! Apply load evenly and ensure that the load from approx. 80% of the target
torque value is applied uniformly and results in a trigger within a timeframe
from .5 to 4 seconds.

Step 1: Load and work in

! Load the wrench until it triggers at 100% value (the highest setting on
scale), release load and back off the wrench several degrees to allow a
reset.
! Repeat this a total of 5 times. This will “work in” the switching elements
in preparation for calibration.

Step 2: Check 20%

! Set the wrench to 20% of the scales value (ie. If maximum value of the
scale is 100Nm then 20% would be 20 Nm) .
! Check and record the value at which the wrench triggered. Please ensure
that the value recorded is the “first peak” which is not necessarily the
highest value obtained.
Step 3: Check 100%

! Set the wrench to 100% of the scales value (ie. If maximum value of the
scale is 100Nm then 100% would be 100 Nm) .
! Check and record the value at which the wrench triggered. Please ensure
that the value recorded is the “first peak” which is not necessarily the
highest value obtained.

Step 4: Check accuracy to determine whether to calibrate or adjust

! If the accuracy of the wrench at 20% and 100% is not within the required
tolerance (from +4.14 to -3.85%) adjustment may be required. Proceed
to steps 9 through 11 for adjustment instructions.

Step 5: Calibrate 20%

! Set the wrench to 20% of the scales value (ie. If maximum value of the
scale is 100Nm then 20% would be 20 Nm) .
! Check and record the value at which the wrench triggered. Please ensure
that the value recorded is the “first peak” which is not necessarily the
highest value obtained.
! Repeat a total of 5 times, recording each value.

Step 6: Calibrate 60%

! Set the wrench to 60% of the scales value (ie. If maximum value of the
scale is 100Nm then 20% would be 20 Nm) .
! Check and record the value at which the wrench triggered. Please ensure
that the value recorded is the “first peak” which is not necessarily the
highest value obtained.
! Repeat a total of 5 times, recording each value.

Step 7: Calibrate 100%

! Set the wrench to 100% of the scales value (ie. If maximum value of the
scale is 100Nm then 100% would be 100 Nm) .
! Check and record the value at which the wrench triggered. Please ensure
that the value recorded is the “first peak” which is not necessarily the
highest value obtained.
! Repeat a total of 5 times, recording each value.
 Step 8: Check Accuracy

! Check the values obtained in steps 5 to 7 for acceptable accuracy.

! If the values are within the required tolerances the appropriate
documentation should be produced.
! If the values are not inside of an acceptable tolerance proceed to steps 9
through 11 for adjustment procedures.

Step 9: Adjustment 20%

! Adjust the lower range FIRST

! Adjusting the lowest adjustment screw (closest hole to end of handle)
using a 2mm hex key. Clockwise adjustment will increase the trigger
setting, counter clockwise adjustment will lower the trigger setting.

Step 10: Adjust 100%

! Check and if required adjust the 100% setting.

! Adjust the upper range by adjusting the upper adjustment screw (the
second adjustment screw further up the wrench) using a 2mm hex key.
Clockwise adjustment will increase the trigger setting, counter
clockwise adjustment will lower the trigger setting.
! No adjustments are necessary for the 60% range. Should accuracy
deviations be present in this range they must be compensated for
altering the lower and upper ranges to bring the complete range inside of
the allowable accuracy tolerances.

Adjustment Ports. Remove White plugs to gain access. Use 2mm hex key.
 Step 11: Verify for correct adjustment

! Check 20%,60%,100% for accuracy conformance by loading several

times at each value prior to calibration. This step reduces the likelihood of
having to interrupt a calibration for readjustment of the wrench.
! Please bear in mind that adjustments to either lower or upper setting will
have an effect all settings, therefore for any single adjustment 20%,60%
and 100% should be checked before starting to perform a calibration
check.
! Once verified proceed to Steps 5 through 8 for calibration instructions.

NOTE:

If after repeated attempts to adjust the wrench fail to bring the unit to an acceptable
level of accuracy factory service may be required. Please return the units in question
to Stahlwille factory authorised service centre for repair.
