Torque 101: A Guide to the Fundamentals of Torque Control – Blog | Mountz Torque Tips & Solutions

Lack of torque control has caused wheel detachment on vehicles, failures with life-saving medical instruments, and prevented electronic devices from functioning. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs with their manufacturing process without torque control.

To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control is often overlooked or misunderstood. Manufacturers must-have resources and knowledge of torque to ensure quality throughput and seamless fastening processes. Whether manufacturing a pacemaker or repairing a jet engine, applying the correct torque to each screw and bolt is critical for success.

Learn what torque is, the variables that impact it, and methods for applying and measuring torque.

What You Will Learn:

  • Methods for measuring torque
  • How to determine a torque specification for an application
  • A guide to understanding torque formulas
