Termination due to exceeding the torque limit. The torque output of the alkitronic® EF is not sufficient for the bolted joint. Check the setting values. Repeat the bolting operation, observing the relevant regulations for the bolting operation, e.g. use new bolts or new bolting material.
A certain number of revolutions is specified for the output drive. The torque limiter monitors the process at the same time. The currently measured number of revolutions is shown in the display. As long as the pushbutton is held down, the alkitronic® EF counts the revolutions already made until the set number of revolutions is reached.
