Properly setting the torque on a nut or bolt requires you to use a torque wrench. The nuts or bolts you are working with, though they are steel or metal, are designed to stretch when tightened. A specific amount of torque applied to them will stretch them to the required amount, keeping...
you need to hold the handle and pull or push in a direction that is perpendicular to the handle of the wrench. Pushing along the direction of the wrench will not apply a torque to the bolt, and it
Choose a bolt with a grip length equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the material that you will be bolting. Use a washer to make up for the amount the grip length is greater than the thickness. Step 3 Thread a nut on the bolt and tighten it with a torque wrench. Refe...
The clamping force on a bolt is defined as the compressive force a fastener exerts on a joint. This is can be dependent on a number of factors, but is largely a function of the preload force, the force exerted in compressing the bolt, and the tension for
How to determine a suitable tightening torque I don’t know the tightening accuracy of my tool. How should I proceed with my torque calculation? All tightening tools have a certain inaccuracy that must be accounted for in order to determine a suitable tightening torque....

How to calculate torsional stress-strain from torque and angle of twist data in a torsion experiment?Torsional stress:Torsional stress is defined as stress, which is induced due to shear force. This stress is causing shear failure in the material. If a specimen is...
Torque is a “twisting force” that is intended to rotate or turn a driveshaft, screw, bolt, or wheel. Twisting force representation Torque can also be referred to as the moment or moment of force. Torque in general is given with the symbol τ (the Greek lowercase letter “t”). The ...
"You can't just 'bolt on' a turbo, it takes careful planning" In this article we are going to discuss an often raised topic, that of adding a turbo to a naturally aspirated (NA or NASP) engine. People often ask me if you can add a turbo to a non turbo engine, and if it is ...
The torque equation is jam-packed with important information about how torque is generated, and how to calculate a net torque. Understanding the terms in the equation will help you complete a general net torque calculation. First, the axis of rotation is the point about which the rotation will...
