Torque 101: A Guide to the Fundamentals of Torque Control

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

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 you’re manufacturing a pacemaker or repairing a jet engine, applying the correct amount of torque to each screw and bolt is critical for success.
