The Consequences of Under, Uneven, Over-Torque: Gasket Failure

07/17/2017 08:02 AM

A gasket in a joint is only as good as the force holding it in place.  And when a gasket fails, the consequences can be as severe as the utter failure of a machine or system, leading to lost productivity, equipment damage, and compromised workplace safety.

Checking Your Bolt Torque

06/06/2017 08:30 AM

Knowing how to check bolt torque is a key ingredient in making sure fasteners don’t fail. There are several ways to determine bolt torque, including torque auditing.   As Bill Eccles of Bolt Science writes, there are three ways this can be achieved: “Each of these three methods have their deficiencies,” Eccles says. “The key […]

How to Avoid Bolt Failure

05/23/2017 07:30 AM

“We sometimes underestimate the importance of little things,” wrote Charles W. Chestnutt in 1901. Why is a torque wrench company opening a blog post about bolt failure with a quote by a turn-of-the-century author? Because bolts are often the smallest elements of a design, but that does not make them unimportant. When bolts fail, they […]

Importance of Planetary Gear Technology in Torque Tools

05/09/2017 08:30 AM

Planetary gearheads are high-precision, motor-control devices that can generate a significant amount of torque, while offering low backlash and high torsional stillness. Torque tools that use planetary technology have many advantages over impact tools that use a ratcheting action. Among their benefits, planetary gear torque tools provide smooth, continuous torque that is ergonomic for the […]
