When it comes to precision assembly, having the right torque tool isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. Whether you’re working in aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, or industrial assembly, each torque challenge demands a specific solution. Sturtevant Richmont’s torque tools are engineered for accuracy, repeatability, and traceability, offering modular, wireless solutions for virtually every fastening application.
Here’s how to match common torque problems to the best-fitting Sturtevant Richmont tools:
Problem: You Need Simple, Repeatable Torque In Tight Spaces
✅ Solution: LTC and SLTC‑FM Series Wrenches
Sturtevant Richmont Interchangeable Head Preset LTC Series Hand Torque Wrenches are non-wireless, preset click wrenches with a slim profile ideal for confined assembly environments. They deliver dependable, repeatable torque with no operator adjustments.
The Sturtevant Richmont SLTC FM 2.4 GHz Preset Wireless Click Wrenches build on this with 2.4 GHz wireless communication, allowing OK/NOK results to be sent to a controller. The series features onboard LEDs and optional traceability through compatible systems. Ideal for assembly lines needing clear pass/fail signals or documentation. This wrench is ideal for environments that require uniform torque application regardless of who’s using the tool.
Problem: You Need Digital Confirmation And Error-Proofing
The Sturtevant Richmont TAC Series Digital Click Wrenches offer LED indicators, audible OK/NOK signals, and wireless radio communication with SR controllers. You’ll know not only when torque is reached — but whether it’s part of a passed batch. Torque and angle data is logged, providing a critical layer of error proofing and traceable results. Perfect for production environments where quality control and operator feedback matter.
Once torque is reached, the TAC transmits complete data to a paired controller — including the point at which the wrench clicked, the final torque value, and the total degrees of rotation. This information is displayed on Sturtevant Richmont’s Global 400 or Global 400mp controller screens. With ±4% torque accuracy and rotation tracking within 1 degree, it’s a powerful tool for quality assurance and compliance.
Like many SR torque tools, the TAC Series supports over 200 interchangeable heads, allowing technicians to switch between applications without recalibrating the wrench. This flexibility is especially valuable in workcells handling a variety of fastener sizes or torque specifications throughout the day.
Problem: You Require High-Accuracy Torque + Angle Reporting
The Sturtevant Richmont 1350 Series Exacta 2 Interchangeable Head Digital Torque And Angle Wrenches deliver ±2% indicated torque accuracy and angular rotation measurement within ±1 degree over a 180° span. The series feature a slim, ergonomic design for accessibility in tight fastener locations. Dual color light bands on both sides of the handle guide the operator during torque application, while a vibration pulse and auditory beep confirm the target has been achieved. Data including final torque value and degrees of rotation is wirelessly transmitted and displayed on SR’s Global 400 and Global 400mp controllers.
Available in five torque capacities (5 ft-lb to 250 ft-lb), the 1350 Series is compatible with both traditional pin/spring dovetails and SR’s Quick Change dovetail for faster head swaps. It also provides full date/time-stamped, NIST-traceable reporting for complete audit compliance. Perfect for where multiple specs and traceability are mandatory.
The Sturtevant Richmont 1250 Series Exacta 2 Interchangeable Head Digital Torque And Angle Wrenches build upon the 1350’s capabilities by increasing the torque accuracy to ±1% and incorporating several ruggedization upgrades for demanding production environments. The series’ aircraft-grade aluminum housing protects the internal electronics and provides exceptional structural strength. A built-in fall-sensing mechanism freezes the gyro accelerometer mid-drop, reducing the chance of damage if the tool is dropped.
Like the 1350, the 1250 Series offers wireless communication, LED indicators, audio and haptic feedback, and traceable reporting of torque and rotation. It’s ideal for aerospace, defense, or any high-accountability assembly that requires tight tolerances, operator feedback, and documentation.
Problem: Your Hydraulic Fittings Rotate Under Torque (Causing Leaks)
The Sturtevant Richmont Holding Tool Technology Wrenches are a patented line of holding wrenches preventing rotation during torque, dramatically reducing fluid leaks and joint damage in hydraulic systems. These tools integrate with SR controllers and can be used in tandem with Exacta or TAC series torque tools mentioned above. The HT Series is a must-have for hydraulic assemblies or mobile equipment manufacturing.
Problem: You Need Battery-Powered Torque Tools with Traceability
- Brushless, transducerized, and angled models
- Torque range: 3 to 90 Nm
- LED status lights and OLED readout (select models)
- Compatible with Global 400 / 400mp controllers
- Includes battery packs, charger, and calibration certs
- Double-hit detection and pass/fail LED feedback
Sturtevant Richmont Power Tools combine portability with intelligent control. Battery-powered and fully programmable, they offer the freedom of movement needed on large assemblies or mobile workstations without sacrificing traceability or accuracy. Whether you’re working in automotive subframes, utility panels, or heavy equipment modules, each tool communicates directly with the controller to lock in torque values, confirm fastener success, and ensure compliance with ISO-driven specs.
Ideal for mobile stations and high-throughput production in industries like automotive, appliance assembly, and general manufacturing.
Problem: You Need Lightweight, Precision Tools for Low Torque Fasteners
For light torque specs under 100 in-oz (or inch-pounds), especially in electronics or medical device work…
- Brushless, transducerized, and angled models
- Torque range: 3 to 90 Nm
- LED status lights and OLED readout (select models)
- Compatible with Global 400 / 400mp controllers
- Includes battery packs, charger, and calibration certs
- Double-hit detection and pass/fail LED feedback
Compact and intuitive, Sturtevant Richmont 1350 Radio Equipped Digital Torque & Angle Screwdrivers provide high-accuracy torque delivery without the bulk of a full wrench. They’re designed for torque-critical fastening where space is limited, fasteners are fragile, and operator fatigue must be minimized. With visual, auditory, and tactile confirmation, they ensure low-torque fasteners are applied consistently, whether you’re working with circuit board mounts, miniature housings, or specialty plastic components in ISO-compliant environments.
Problem: You Need Centralized Data And Multi-Tool Control
Whether you’re managing a small torque station or a multi-operator, multi-tool production line, Sturtevant Richmont offers a suite of controllers designed to give you full command over your fastening process — with traceable results.
Entry-Level Control:
The PTV and TCV controllers are ideal for basic setups.
PTV handles up to 4 tools (sequentially) via I/O.
TCV supports 2 tools with optional traceable reporting.
Both offer cost-effective error-proofing without overcomplicating your system.
Advanced & Scalable Systems:
The TCVe2, Global 400, and Global 400mp take things further:
Sturtevant Richmont (10676) TCV e2 Programmable Torque Verifier, Ethernet supports up to 10 tools (2 independently), with USB ports, barcode integration, and traceable torque/angle data.
Sturtevant Richmont (10497) Global 400 Wireless Error Proofing System supports 4 simultaneous operators, 16 torque tools, 8 holding tools, 8 input devices, and tracks 100 P-Sets, 100 Jobs, and 100 Groups — all with complete NIST-traceable reporting.
Sturtevant Richmont (10612) Global 400MP Torque Controller multiplies that by four — supporting 4 operators independently across 4 stations (each with its own jobs, presets, and tool groups) — for a total of 32 tools and 160 P-Sets.
Each controller integrates seamlessly with SR’s torque wrenches, holding tools, and digital click tools, enabling automatic data collection, error prevention, and real-time QA monitoring. Whether you need Ethernet, serial, barcode, or USB support, these systems ensure consistent results and compliance with ISO, QS, and industry standards.
❗Bonus: Interchangeable Heads Maximize ROI
All major SR torque lines support over 200 interchangeable heads — allowing you to adapt a single wrench body to dozens of applications without affecting torque values. This means lower cost of ownership and faster setup changes. No need to recalibrate when switching heads — just plug, torque, and go.
