  • How to Calculate Torque to Tighten Bolts
    You must know how to calculate torque for tightening bolts to ensure that your application is functional and safe. Errors in torque calculation can result in expensive failure, including the time and hassle of replacing broken equipment.
  • CORRECT TORQUE TO BOLT CALCULATIONS
    Bolts and screws are so ubiquitous that it's impossible to fully articulate their importance or applications. These fasteners literally hold the world around us together. From the rigors of the industry to the rumble of cars, trains, and planes, to the furniture that adorns our homes and offices
  • An Illustrated Guide to Reading Aircraft Torque Bolt Charts
    There are three reasons why you might want to read an aircraft torque bolt chart. The first is, you're in school. If that's the case, congratulations! We hope you take the knowledge with you when you graduate. But learn your lessons well - the repercussions for misreading an aircraft torque bolt
  • Guide: Using, Converting, and Understanding Torque Values for Metric Bolts
    It's important to properly convert units when dealing with torque values for metric bolts in order to ensure safety and efficiency.
  • Learn the Basics of Torque Wrenches
    The torque wrench's main purpose: to tighten a bolt or nut with the correct amount of torque while avoiding over-tightening.
  • Torque Verification Process of Assembly Power Tools
    Manufacturing companies globally that use fasteners, bolts, and nuts need to ensure their torque process and quality standards are complying with international standards, like ISO. Establishing quality guidelines comes down to developing a detailed manufacturing process control, and executing
  • Anti-Galling & Run-in Torque Reduction (.pdf)
    An aircraft structures manufacturing company was encountering galling when installing titanium bolts (type NAS1581) to threaded stainless steel nutplates (type MS21060L6). The fastener system is used to attach a large exterior communications. structure to the airframe. Dicronite dry lubrication
  • Why Understanding Torque is Key in Pump System Installation and Maintenance
    One example of torque is to think of pushing or pulling. a wrench to loosen or tighten a bolt. That turning. force is torque, as Viking Pump explained in a Pye. Barker Engineered Solutions guest blog. Torque can be. calculated by using horsepower (hp), a constant and. speed (rpm, or rotations per
  • CASE STUDY: Stand Alone Bolt Driving Machine Eliminates the Strain of Manual Assembly
    A casting and machine part gear box manufacturer was using an operator to perform a manual bolt placement and tightening operation with inconsistent results. Now a heavy-duty Visumatic VPD Power Driver has been applied to take on the strain of this high torque application.
  • Understanding Torque Values
    Adequate clamping prevents relative motion between parts of the joint and leakage from joints containing gaskets. Measuring a bolts clamp force is difficult, especially under production assembly conditions.
  • Specify a Torque & Tightening Sequence for Critical Fastening Joints
    These general guidelines are to help identify potential pitfalls relating to the tightening of bolted joints.
