Preventing over-torque events is critical to reducing scrap, preventing fastening failures, and improving overall product quality. Applying the correct amount of torque to each fastener helps achieve the required clamp load and maximize joint reliability. However, over-tightening can create serious manufacturing problems, including damaged threads, stripped screws, broken fasteners, and overstretched bolts. In many cases,…
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…

In selecting a torque wrench, you need to know the torque required for the fastening application. In general, that seems like common sense. How can you ensure the proper torque is being applied while tightening a fastener or bolt with a torque wrench? By selecting the proper wrench for the assembly application, which can be a…
Not all torque wrenches are alike. When selecting a torque wrench or operating a wrench, it’s important to understand the functions of the tool being used for the fastening application. Take time to read all instructions provided to fully understand the working features and manufacturer recommendations. The design of certain wrenches, make the tool “length…
