Measuring torque when installing threaded fasteners is the best indicator of future joint performance, right? Actually, bolt tension is a better performance indicator, but measuring torque is far ...

Most engineers who deal with bolted joints are familiar with torque tables for SAE-grade bolts, but these are all too often used without regard for the yield strength of internal threads or the bolt’s ...

Rather than using conventional bolts, some automakers rely on torque-to-yield bolts for specific engines. But why are these ...

Pemhex is a self-clinching prevailing torque lock-nut from Penn Engineering, with the integrated nylon insert there to resist screw loosening in service due to vibration and thermal cycling. “The ...
