ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an axial bolt force measuring instrument for measuring an axial force of a bolt for a hub that couples a wheel and an axle of a vehicle, where the instrument is provided with a setting portion that sets a predetermined axial force of the bolt, a tapping portion that taps the bolt, a sound collecting portion that collects tap sound generated by tapping the bolt with the tapping portion, a frequency measuring portion that measures a frequency of the tap sound collected by the sound collecting portion, an axial force converting portion that converts the frequency of the tap sound measured by the frequency measuring portion into an axial force of the bolt, a comparing portion that compares the set axial force set in the setting portion with the converted axial force converted in the axial force converting portion from the frequency of the tap sound, and a display portion that displays a result of comparison in the comparing portion.
