Static Torque vs. Dynamic Torque
- Static torque is torque that is applied by hand
- Dynamic torque is applied by a power tool
- Worst hand tool is best power tool
With power tools you introduce many more variables; Inertia and Overcoming Friction.
Static Torque Defined:
- The torque required to break a fastener away from a static or stationary position.
Static Torque Data Acquisition:
- Acquired through use of a beam, dial or digital torque wrench.
Dynamic Torque Defined:
- Monitored while the fastener is moving or in a dynamic state.
Dynamic Torque Data Acquisition:
- Acquired with an inboard transducer and electric monitoring device.
