With Thanksgiving just around the corner the Mountz team is coordinating its philanthropic programs for the holiday season. Our PEOPLE objective at Mountz includes our community, especially those in need. The holiday may be one of the most stressful times for the disenfranchised and our effort to assist those in need is part of our…
For parts that are fastened together and endure constant vibration, fasteners may lose grip over time. What’s the solution? A thread locking patch applied to the screw. A thread locking patch is a simple concept. The threaded area of the screw is treated with a dot of nylon, or a layer that wraps completely around…
Thanksgiving is truly and uniquely an American holiday, celebrated with football, family reunions and a smorgasbord of food derived from every part of our country. The variety of turkey preparations and stuffing recipes could fill several cookbooks, maybe libraries and it is likely that Google has already cataloged these for us under easy to search…
The CLD pneumatic torque multiplier provides precision tightening and loosening of all heavy-duty fastening connections. The torque multiplier shuts-off when the pre-set torque is achieved. It’s non-impacting and operates at a smooth, continuous rotation. The pneumatic wrench increases speed and productivity, as it is faster than a hydraulic wrench and is less expensive. The tool…
The critical question must be asked: If proper joint design and proper torque application still do not guarantee that effective tension has been achieved, how can we know if the installed fastener meets the specification intended by the designer?Fastening errors can never be eliminated if proper technique and tools are not used. Audit discussion must…
What do all the different nuts do, and which type or types do you need to purchase? Let’s take a glimpse at the world of nuts. The essential purpose of any nut is to mate with a bolt to discourage the bolt from loosening its grip against a surface. When you thread a nut onto…
The clamping force is the main factor that is needed in controlling a fastened joint. Unfortunately, for large-scale production, no particular method has yet been developed to allow us to do this. Therefore, instead we must control other parameters that influence the clamping force. In this day in age, the most common method of controlling…
The Loading Bench by Mountz Inc. is a laboratory grade instrument designed to enable accurate torque wrench calibration with less physical effort. The Loading Bench simulates torque application conditions with minimum effort and enhanced safety for the calibration technician assuring a more accurate calibration. The calibration instrument enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and…
Small torque tools go out of calibration with use. To maintain consistent accuracy, small torque tools must be checked periodically for wear or defective parts. A small power or hand torque tool is a measuring tool that must be properly calibrated and maintained. Mountz, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of torque control…
A manufacturer of large industrial gas engines had a torque application for fastening an industrial engine block in a washing chamber after the milling process. The large gas engines are designed and built for demanding applications in waste water treatment plants, power plants, oil & gas fields and other energy applications all over the world.…
