DSH 16

The minia­tu­riza­tion of many products presents a parti­cular chall­enge for manufac­tu­ring – especi­ally in terms of process-reliable assembly.

To meet this need, we developed the DSH 16 nutrunner for extre­mely low torque values, suitable for both handheld use and integra­tion into automated systems.

The DSH 16 series is available in torque versions of 0.25 Nm and 0.5 Nm.

  • Status indicator via light field
  • Motor-gear combi­na­tion
  • Freely confi­gurable opera­ting buttons
  • Ergonomic handle
  • Headlight for illumi­na­tion of the application
  • Vacuum connec­tion for option “vacuum screw holder”
  • Suspen­sion clip

MDW Control Type

  • Directly integrated torque measu­re­ment via DAkkS-calibrated digital sensor
  • Torque accuracy: 0.5% of final value
  • Tolerance accor­ding to ISO 5393: better than 5%
  • Angle measu­re­ment via motor sensors
  • Angle resolu­tion: 0.89°
