What is the relationship between torque and friction? The process of fastening a screw or bolt involves various elements. The friction behavior between the fastener and the joint is crucial for securing the desired clamp load. Torque and friction go together like peanut butter and jelly or nuts and bolts.
With the torque control assembly method, it is essential to understand the role of friction during the fastening process. Friction is a crucial element of torquing a fastener. Understanding friction enables you to establish optimal tightening parameters for your assembly application, ensuring a reliable fastening process. Not knowing how torque and friction correlate for an application exposes risks to the manufacturing process, including product failures and escalating scrap rate costs.
