Although bolted connections containing nuts can be dismantled when needed, they also come with the disadvantage of potentially coming loose unexpectedly. Bolted joints are a vital component to the proper and safe operation of many products and structures in various...
Torque is defined as the angular force required to cause the rotation of an object. Torque is leveraged to produce tension in threaded fasteners such as bolts. When a bolt and nut are tightened, two plates are clamped together. The thread of the bolt transfers the...
Every bolt has a torque value or specification that is calculated to prevent bolt failure and help ensure the reliability, quality, and safety of the product or structure in question. It is important to know how to measure torque on a bolt to verify that the bolt...
Bolted joints possess a key advantage over other types of joint types such as riveted and welded joints, they can be dismantled. Although this is an important benefit, it can also cause potential problems if the bolt loosens as a result of operational conditions....
