Measuring torque is essential for manufacturers to ensure their product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent torque failures. Insufficiently torqued fasteners can vibrate loose, and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.
The best torque is the correct torque. Whether manufacturing circuit boards or repairing airplanes, applying the proper torque to each screw and bolt is critical for success.
A torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument for measuring and verifying torque. Torque sensors measure the torque output of hand and power tools and calibrate torque tools. Companies that rely on torque tools can reduce lost product and product liability by regularly testing tools with torque sensors. By calibrating torque tools, companies reduce the risk of product failure before or after a product leaves the factory by preventing over or under-tightened fasteners. Testing torque is a science and not something that can be left to chance.
Different types of torque sensors are best suited for various torque testing applications. Quality torque sensors save companies money by reducing lost product rates and preventing costly lawsuits or recalls related to improperly tightened fasteners. Torque sensors play an essential role in maintaining product quality in modern manufacturing.
