Torque control is essential to producing safe, reliable, and consistent products. When the correct amount of torque is not applied to a fastener, manufacturers risk loose or over-tightened joints, product failures, costly rework, and increased scrap. From medical devices and electronics to automotive and aerospace applications, precise torque control plays a critical role in manufacturing quality.

Understanding torque and the factors that influence it is the foundation for developing an effective fastening process. However, the principles of torque control can often be overlooked or misunderstood. Engineers and manufacturing teams need a solid understanding of torque measurement, torque specifications, and the variables that can affect fastening performance to ensure consistent results.

Selecting the appropriate torque value is only one part of the process. Factors such as friction, fastener characteristics, joint design, tooling, and operator technique can all influence the amount of torque required to achieve the desired clamp load. Understanding these variables helps manufacturers reduce fastening errors and establish more reliable torque control processes.

In this webinar, Product Specialist David Cash will provide an introduction to the fundamentals of torque control. He will explain what torque is, how it is measured, how torque specifications are determined, and the common variables that can affect fastening performance. Whether you're new to torque control or looking to strengthen your existing knowledge, this webinar will provide a practical foundation for improving fastening quality.
