For parts that are fastened together and endure constant vibration, fasteners may lose grip over time. What’s the solution? A thread locking patch applied to the screw. A thread locking patch is a simple concept. The threaded area of the screw is treated with a dot of nylon, or a layer that wraps completely around…
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…
The EFCip electric torque multipliers are built to increase joint accuracy and integrity. In industries that demand leak-free joints or preventing bolting failures, the philosophy of “getting it right the first time” should be adopted by all industries. The ability to properly and securely fasten joints such as flanges with gaskets is important for critical…
Most of us know why we celebrate Independence Day. We were all taught about our Founding Fathers, the Revolutionary War, and the subsequent Declaration of Independence at some point during our schooling, but did you know these fun facts about the 4th of July? – The final draft of the Declaration of Independence was penned…
Often, regular tool calibration is forgotten, ignored or delayed. Similar to routine car maintenance, periodic servicing is necessary or repairs can become quite expensive. All torque tools must be properly calibrated and maintained on a preventative maintenance and calibration schedule. Calibrating a hand or power torque tool is process that manufacturers need to ensure occurs…

The threads of a metric flat head screw spiral downward as an assembly operator fastens a medical instrument together. Is the proper torque control being used to keep that life saving medical device together? Tightening down a bolt or screw until it “feels tight enough” is not adequate torque control. That mentality is the path…

Like an automobile, torque tools require periodic servicing and calibration. When you purchase a tool for your manufacturing facility, it is an investment. You are accepting ownership of that equipment and are responsible to keep it operating in peak performance. Failure to properly maintain a torque tool leads to unnecessary expenses, potential product failures and…
