Torque Screwdriver for Vibration Sensitive Fastening Applications – Blog | Mountz Torque Tips & Solutions

Mountz FG-IFR (Impact Free Resetting) preset screwdrivers use a cam-over mechanism to improve process control and productivity. The unique IFR cam over design provides a low-impact reset mechanism, ideal for assembling shock-sensitive components that reduce the vibration transmitted in the screw tightening process—ideal for fastening delicate parts such as electronics, plastics, and medical devices. Torque range suitable for micro, low, and medium torque applications.

Cam-over technology reduces the possibility of operator error in the clockwise fastening direction, ensuring correct torque is applied and preventing fastener breakage. Providing the operator with a preset tool prevents tampering and ensures that operators always use the appropriate torque setting.

FG-IFR (Impact Free Resetting) Torque Screwdriver Improves Productivity

Modern, effective preset torque screwdrivers improve productivity by guaranteeing that the correct torque value is consistently applied to each fastener. Preset torque screwdrivers are ideal for fastening applications where operators repeatedly assemble parts at the same torque setting. A preset screwdriver is similar to setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The screwdriver is preset to the application’s required torque value. The tool provides once torque is achieved.

A preset screwdriver doesn’t have an external torque adjustment scale. These tools have an internal torque adjustment mechanism for setting the torque value and preset using a hex key and a torque analyzer. The locking mechanism prevents accidental torque setting changes. Once the tool is set, the screwdriver’s end cap is sealed with a calibration sticker and ready to be used. However, if the preset torque value needs to be changed for a new fastening application, the flexible tool can easily be adjusted to a new preset torque value.
