You don’t want to be surprised by a torque screwdriver or wrench deemed “out of calibration.” After all, torque tools are precision instruments that tighten critical, often safety-sensitive fasteners. Torque wrenches and screwdrivers go out of calibration with use. These hand tools should be regularly tested and calibrated based on the tool usage cycle to…
Manufacturing companies globally that use fasteners, bolts, and nuts must ensure their torque process and quality standards comply with international standards, like ISO. Establishing quality guidelines comes down to developing a detailed manufacturing process control and executing it with quality assembly torque tools capable of meeting specifications, along with verifying the tools, the process, and…
Measuring dynamic torque requires a solution that evaluates both the power tool’s performance and the fastening joint application. A rotary torque sensor is used mainly to measure the torque output of power tools, including electric, pulse, and continuous pneumatic tools. Rotary torque sensors are mounted in line with the tool’s drive. It’s an instrument that quickly…

Torque measurement processes generate vast amounts of data that provide valuable information to aid manufacturers. Torque data collection allows engineers to make more intelligent process decisions to minimize quality failures and maximize productivity. Collecting and analyzing torque testing data gives manufacturers valuable insights into their production processes. Test data in a centralized database allows manufacturers to…
Which force has the most significant effect on our world? Gravity is a strong contender for top dog—it keeps you in your seat, your house on the ground, and the sun in the sky. However, another force affects our world nearly equally: entropy, gravity’s opposite. If gravity is the tendency things have to come together,…
Manufacturing products of consistent quality requires the ability to monitor and measure torque. Quality control starts with processes. For engineers, implementing an entire torque measurement program is essential for success at all levels. Simply running a fastener or bolt down until it’s snug and tight and assuming the torque control process is complete is no…
The risk reliability increases when an electric screwdriver drifts out of calibration over time or usage. Accuracy, repeatability, and safety are the significant benefits of checking your electric or air screwdriver’s calibration (also known as torque verification). The advantage of a torque analyzer is that a quality engineer can easily and quickly verify the torque…
