In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque on fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener can vibrate or work loose; conversely, if the tension is too high, it can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers realize that precise torque control can distinguish between a…
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,…
A torque sensor is a versatile measurement instrument that allows engineers to expand torque calibration and testing capacity. The BMX torque sensors, by Mountz, make it easy to meet the demands of testing multiple torque ranges for torque tools used in production, maintenance, and calibration labs. The torque sensors calibrate hand or power torque screwdrivers…
Calibrating a hand or power torque tool is a process that manufacturers need to make sure takes place on a consistent basis. Regular tool calibration ensures repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. A torque tool is a precision device and should be treated and maintained like an instrument. A tool must be properly calibrated…
