In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque on fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener can vibrate or work loose; conversely, if the tension is too high, it can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers realize that precise torque control can distinguish between a…
Measuring dynamic torque requires a solution that evaluates both the power tool’s performance and the fastening joint application. A rotary torque sensor is used mainly to measure the torque output of power tools, including electric, pulse, and continuous pneumatic tools. Rotary torque sensors are mounted in line with the tool’s drive. It’s an instrument that quickly…
Lack of torque control has caused vehicle wheel detachment, failures of life-saving medical instruments, and malfunctions of electronic devices. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs in their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control needs to be more noticed and understood. Manufacturers must have…
Every manufacturing company should have a quality management system (QMS). In many industries, it’s required by law. In every industry, it’s common sense—without a system to detect production errors, any little mistake on the line can become a big problem once the product leaves your facility. Modern manufacturing companies must systemize their quality management to…
There are various “Preset” and “Adjustable” click wrenches, but selecting the correct industrial click wrench for your application depends on your process requirements. Preset click wrenches are ideal for production applications where consistent torque is critical. Adjustable click wrenches are suitable for fastening applications where quick torque setting adjustments are necessary for fasteners of different…

It simulates torque application conditions with ease and enhanced safety, ensuring a more accurate calibration. It enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and presetting, independent of human influence or transducer side and end load factors. The…
Torque measurement processes generate vast amounts of data that provide valuable information to aid manufacturers. Torque data collection allows engineers to make more intelligent process decisions to minimize quality failures and maximize productivity. Collecting and analyzing torque testing data gives manufacturers valuable insights into their production processes. Test data in a centralized database allows manufacturers to…
Assembly operators fumble around with screws daily during the fastening process. The repetition of grabbing small fasteners from a bin is tedious and time-consuming. The constant repetition of picking up and fumbling around with hundreds and hundreds of screws daily impacts productivity and costs. It’s an unnecessary expense and an inefficient process. Also, a potential…
