WITHIN ANY GIVEN MODEL, the desired setting must be achieved by the user when presetting each tool.
The design of the locking plate does not allow infinite adjustment. Within each 360 degrees of adjustment, only a certain number of locking points are possible. Check the tool for the closest point to the desired release point. If the locking plate will not “seat” in the tool, turn the adjusting nut either slightly CW (increasing torque release) or CCW (decreasing torque release.) The direction of that small adjustment is best determined by whether a minimum torque or maximum torque is desired.
The standard Slip-Torq tool is designed to be used as a torque limiter in either the CW or CCW direction.
When the torque release setting is established in either direction, CW or CCW, the user may expect repeatability from release-to-release within ± 5% of setting. Generally, however, as you approach the mid-range or higher of any particular model, the repeatability percentage from release-to-release will improve.
In models 38A-1, 38B-2, 12A-1 and 12B-2, there are 12 releases in 360 degrees (every 30 degrees). In model 12D-2, there are 18 releases (every 20 degrees) and in model 12E-2, there are 24 releases (every 15 degrees).
