Torque Multipliers for Plate Heat Exchangers

Torque Multipliers for Plate Heat Exchangers

Plate heat exchangers are designed to provide highly efficient heat transfer for various industrial applications, like chemical and food processing.  Regular maintenance intervals for plate heat exchangers are needed in order to maintain production efficiency. Overtime, dirt, silt, sand and other debris can build up and impact the heat exchanger’s performance and cause unplanned downtime.…

Clean Room Torque Screwdrivers

Clean Room Manufacturing with Clean Room Torque Screwdrivers

Manufacturing electronic, semiconductor, biotech and medical devices demand care and precision. Often a controlled environment is needed during the production process to limit the amount of dust, particles and other contaminants in the manufacturing area. A clean room environment controls the level of contamination. Eliminating any sub-micron airborne contamination is a controlled process. Clean rooms…

Torque Arm Improves Safety & Ergonomics in Manufacturing

The manufacturing process is constantly evolving in response to customer needs and emerging technology. Managing the assembly workstation, tooling requirements, production flow and employee safety is indeed a challenge. The daily repetitive fastening process exposes your assemblers to potential stress injuries. Increasing your awareness of ergonomic challenges and looking for ways to improve operator safety…

Quality Torque Control Program

Six Tips for Establishing a Quality Torque Control Program

In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, and measuring torque are imperative for production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs. A fastener inadequately tightened can vibrate or work loose: conversely, if the tension is too high, the fastener can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers are realizing that precise torque control…

Installing Heli-Coil Screw Thread Inserts with a Power Tool

Heli-Coil screw thread inserts are common component used for a variety of automotive, military, communication, industrial and aerospace assembly applications. When installed into a heli-coil tapped hole, a heli-coil insert provides permanent conventional internal screw threads that accommodate any standard fastener or bolt. Using heli-coil inserts for parts that may require frequent maintenance is beneficial…

Low Torque Sensors

Measuring Low Torque

Small torque tools are precision instruments designed to accurately and repeatedly tighten fasteners to a proper torque value. Overtime, all torque tools start to drift out of tolerance. Preventative maintenance and regular torque calibration cycles will ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Having reliable tools will increase productivity, reduce rejection rates and make…
