The 60DLi Electronic Torque Meter provides simple, direct measurements of breakaway force in a sealed disk drive. This provides any easy, repeatable alternative to manual torque watches. The 60DLi easily interfaces with most disk drives. Connecting directly to the disk drive motor, the unit measures the current necessary to achieve breakaway. By providing the 60DLi with the drive motor torque constant, the unit will automatically convert breadaway current to breakaway force.
