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.…
Joint relaxation occurs to some extent in all fastened joints. It is caused by the surface of part(s) embedding or by “soft parts” such as gaskets, plastics or spongy material, which collapses under the clamping force created in a torque fastening condition. For correctly designed joints, relaxation is small and can be virtually ignored. However,…
Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine-tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Torque testers can also be used for quick tools tests on the line or in the lab to determine whether torque tools are holding a given setting. A regular torque tool…

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…
A Canadian Rail Yard Selects Mountz Torque Multiplier to Help Raise and Lower Decks During the Loading of Automobiles into Rail Cars A rail yard in Canada was searching for a torque solution that would speed up the process and remove strain on its operators. The application was to assist their operators raise and lower…
Torque calibration equipment is the official means by which torque testers and torque sensors are calibrated and are traceable to National or International Standards, such as N.I.S.T, ISO. A calibration is the method of comparing tools and measuring devices to higher accuracy standards. Mountz offers Calibration Wheels and Segment Arms for calibrating torque testers and…
In maintenance and manufacturing applications where consistent and accurate torque control is absolutely necessary, Mountz, Inc. offers the TSC & TSP cam-over torque wrenches. These torque wrenches are designed to deliver reliable and precise torque control for torque applications that do not tolerate over-torque conditions. Improper torque control increases manufacturing costs and delays. Designed for…
From tightening large industrial bolts used in windmill gearbox assemblies to bolting maintenance applications for oil & gas pipelines and rigs, the Mountz electric torque multipliers achieve precision torque in a quick, cost-efficient manner. The electric torque multiplier shuts-off when pre-set torque is achieved. It’s a non-impacting and operates at a smooth, continuous rotation; the…
The accurate measurement of torque applied to rotating drives and fastening applications is an important criterion for evaluating production efficiency and quality assurance in manufacturing and assembly. There are many process monitoring applications that require rotary style torque sensor be used to capture and record traceable measurement results. A rotary torque sensor is a finely…
Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components. Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:…
