There are various “Preset” and “Adjustable” click wrenches, but selecting the correct industrial click wrench for your application depends on your process requirements. Preset click wrenches are ideal for production applications where consistent torque is critical. Adjustable click wrenches are suitable for fastening applications where quick torque setting adjustments are necessary for fasteners of different…
The Mountz Loading Bench is a user-friendly, laboratory-grade instrument that facilitates accurate torque wrench calibration with minimal physical effort. It simulates torque application conditions with ease and enhanced safety, ensuring a more accurate calibration. It enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and presetting, independent of human influence or transducer side and end load factors. The…
Anyone who has worked on a car’s brake lines has confronted the problem of needing a tight, reliable seal between the fittings that tie the line to the rest of the brake system. These need to hold fluid through the stresses of daily driving. After all, a leak that lets air into the line means…
Manufacturing companies must meet high standards for product quality. Products manufactured on assembly lines must be identical. However, fastening every bolt in every product to the same degree is difficult, if not impossible, for an employee to do without mechanical aids. This variability in fastening results demands the intervention of a tool that can control…
In any application where the fastening of bolts and screws is critical—which includes aerospace, automotive, medical device, electronics, and packaging industries, to name a few—businesses depend on torque tools to deliver the precise amount of force necessary to hold a fastener in place indefinitely. Whether you’re in manufacturing or maintenance, the most important attributes your…
How do you select a torque wrench or screwdriver for a fastening application? While choosing a torque wrench or screwdriver for a torque application may seem straightforward, understanding the differences between tool types and product features can be confusing. Each class of hand tools relies on different torque limitation methods, and other techniques are most…
When under or over-torquing puts manufacturers’ products at risk, a break-over wrench can help support a quality control process by empowering an operator to prevent assembly errors. The Mountz TBX line of precision preset break-over wrenches ensures consistent process and quality control for accurately tightening various types of fasteners. The torque limiting wrench informs the…
What is the relationship between torque and friction? The process of tightening a fastener involves various elements. The friction behavior between the fastener and the joint is critical to secure the desired clamp load. Torque and friction go together like peanut butter and jelly or nuts and bolts. With the torque control assembly method, it is…
Implementing a solution that prevents over-torque events is critical for engineers to reduce scrap rate costs. Applying the right amount of torque to each fastener maximizes its holding potential. Over-torquing a fastener generates risks of fastening failures and damaged products. Applying too much force while tightening a fastener can result in over-stretching a bolt, stripping…
How do you prevent an over-torque event for a fastening application? The FGC torque wrench is engineered with a cam-over technology and prevents over-torque. The cam-over mechanism physically prevents the operator from over-torquing fasteners. Selecting a poka-yoke tool improves process control and reduces scrap rates. Fastening bolts with a click wrench expose manufacturers to a…
