From tightening large industrial bolts used in windmill gearbox assemblies to bolting maintenance applications for oil & gas pipelines and rigs, the Mountz electric torque multipliers achieve precision torque in a quick, cost-efficient manner. The electric torque multiplier shuts-off when pre-set torque is achieved. It’s a non-impacting and operates at a smooth, continuous rotation; the…
The accurate measurement of torque applied to rotating drives and fastening applications is an important criterion for evaluating production efficiency and quality assurance in manufacturing and assembly. There are many process monitoring applications that require rotary style torque sensor be used to capture and record traceable measurement results. A rotary torque sensor is a finely…
Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components. Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:…
Generally, in the majority of applications, the reliability of the joint is dependent upon the bolts ability to clamp the parts together. Adequate clamping prevents relative motion between parts of the joint and leakage from joints containing gaskets. Measuring a bolts clamp force is difficult, especially under production assembly conditions. The clamp force generated by…
There are a wide variety of Preset and Adjustable torque wrenches and selecting the shape and size for your application can be easy. However, understanding the variety of torque delivery mechanisms of torque wrenches can be confusing. A Preset torque wrench is similar to a person setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of…
WHAT Is TORQUE? Torque is a “turning” or “twisting” force and differs from tension, which is created by a straight pull. However, we use torque to create a tension. HOW? As the nut and bolt are tightened, the two plates are clamped together. The thread angle in the bolt converts the force applied into tension…
Improper torque of high-pressure vessels can be attributed to safety incidents that cause financial loss, loss of property and even loss of life. The more volatile and dangerous the substance the more critical it is to take precautions to ensure flanges and bolts have been properly torqued and most importantly, properly audited. The Clean Air…
The accuracy for a torque wrench can be stated in terms of Full Scale (FS) or Indicated Value (IV). There is a big difference in result as full scale accuracy indicates the allowable error over the full-scale range of the tool. Indicated value accuracy indicates allowable error at the set point on the wrench. Indicated…
Position Control torque arms are designed to reduce the risk of improperly fastened screws, ensuring that every screw is in the correctly tightened in the correct sequence. Using a Position Control torque arm is like putting the eyes and ears of a quality control manager where they are needed most – right on the assembly…
Mountz unveiled its new trade show booth at the Assembly Technology Expo at the end of September in Chicago. Mountz showcased several new products during the event including FlexPower pulse tools,PosiControl Torque Arms and brushless electric screwdrivers. Engineers that visited the Mountz booth were able to get a preview of our new battery torque screwdrivers…
