Any manufacturing application that requires a threaded fastener to be tightened needs torque control. The cam-over philosophy of each Mountz hand torque screwdriver prevents a fastener or bolt from being under and over tightened. These torque tools are ideal for fastening applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. As a quality control tool, the torque…
Every year at this time, I remind my family and our family of Mountz employees how much I love Thanksgiving. I’m sure they are tired of hearing it, but it’s true – I love Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving to me means family, something near and dear to most everyone. Our kids come home from college more thankful…
Deep down in a coal mine, the foreman faced lengthy and costly dilemmas for two key maintenance applications. The first maintenance application was for removing and re-tightening the bolts during the servicing process for “Mining Heads” used on the industrial machines attached to the vehicles underground. The “Mining Heads” are used to channel through rock…
Choosing a socket for a power tool might seem like a simple task. Open any tool catalog or tool chest, find the correct drive size, select the hex size you need – and off you go. But it’s not that simple. The socket is often the most overlooked component when properly installing fasteners with power…
In nearly every heavy industrial application, turning threaded fasteners – nuts and bolts – is generally viewed by two criteria: (1) the need to fasten tightly enough to prevent movement of parts and achieve a good seal without exceeding the fastener’s elasticity level, and (2) successful removal of fasteners after long periods of environmental exposure…

Torque wrenches go out of calibration with use. Verifying the accuracy of a torque wrench is a key quality measurement that must be taken for a successful outcome. Two accepted methods may be used. Verification is a process step to validate if the wrench is in or out of calibration. This test can be conducted…
The Loading Bench by Mountz Inc. is a laboratory grade instrument designed to enable accurate torque wrench calibration with less physical effort. The Loading Bench simulates torque application conditions with minimum effort and enhanced safety for the calibration technician assuring a more accurate calibration. The calibration instrument enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and…
Small torque tools go out of calibration with use. To maintain consistent accuracy, small torque tools must be checked periodically for wear or defective parts. A small power or hand torque tool is a measuring tool that must be properly calibrated and maintained. Mountz, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of torque control…
A manufacturer of large industrial gas engines had a torque application for fastening an industrial engine block in a washing chamber after the milling process. The large gas engines are designed and built for demanding applications in waste water treatment plants, power plants, oil & gas fields and other energy applications all over the world.…
