In the manufacturing industry, one way to report and evaluate the process capability and process performance is through the statistical measurements, like Cpk. What is Cpk? Definition: Cpk = Cpk = Process Capability Index. Adjustment of Cp for the effect of non-centered distribution. Cpk measures how close you are to your target and how consistent…
WHAT Is TORQUE? Torque is a “turning” or “twisting” force and differs from tension, which is created by a straight pull. However, we use torque to create a tension. HOW? As the nut and bolt are tightened, the two plates are clamped together. The thread angle in the bolt converts the force applied into tension…
Mountz, Inc. offers a couple of torque tool options for ensuring the correct torque is applied for applications that involve RF/COAX & SMA Connectors. The correct tightening of COAX and SMA Connectors used in RF cabling applications is essential to ensure optimum performance. This is particularly important in high frequency applications using stainless steel or…
A pulse tool has the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch based shut-off tool. Containing precision-machined parts the pulse unit is a sealed chamber that is filled with a formulated hydraulic fluid. Pulse blades with a custom designed precision roller push the fluid inside the rotating chamber generating hydraulic pressure that…
An electronics manufacturing company uses torque testers along with benched mounted torque sensors to audit 150+ pneumatic torque tools on a daily basis. Each pneumatic tool has bar-code on it, which identifies the tool. A unique tool test (torque setting and tolerance setting) is set-up for each pneumatic tool and stored inside the PTT torque…
In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener 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 can spell the…
A torque meter is a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque meter is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. The PTT torque meter makes ISO 9001 documentation faster and easier. As an advanced torque…
