However, these locking features also create additional friction during installation, making it more challenging to achieve accurate and repeatable torque.   Fasteners with pre-applied thread lockers or security patches require additional torque to overcome the friction created by these locking features. This resistance, known as **prevailing torque**, can significantly affect tightening accuracy if it isn't measured and compensated for during the fastening process. Implementing prevailing torque control allows manufacturers to separate the torque required to overcome thread friction from the torque needed to achieve the proper clamp load, resulting in more precise fastening, improved product quality, and fewer assembly defects.   Achieving consistent torque control requires more than simply using a calibrated torque tool. Engineers must understand how prevailing torque influences the fastening process, validate torque settings, and implement tightening strategies that ensure the correct clamp load is achieved every time.   In this webinar, Product Specialist **David Cash** will explain how thread-locking fasteners and security patches affect torque control and demonstrate best practices for implementing prevailing torque control. You'll learn practical techniques for selecting the right fastening tools, compensating for prevailing torque, and improving assembly quality while reducing rework and warranty claims.   **Register today** to attend the live session and receive the on-demand webinar recording within 48 hours. **You Will Learn:** - What prevailing torque is and how it affects fastening accuracy - How thread-locking fasteners and security patches influence torque control - Best practices for implementing prevailing torque control - How to achieve accurate clamp load while preventing over- and under-torque - Techniques for validating torque settings on prevailing torque applications - Strategies for improving assembly quality, reducing rework, and preventing warranty issues Featured Products: [![bmxthumbnail-May-08-2024-09-34-54-2062-AM](https://5139817.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5139817/hubfs/bmxthumbnail-May-08-2024-09-34-54-2062-AM.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=bmxthumbnail-May-08-2024-09-34-54-2062-AM.jpg)](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Sensors/Torque-Sensors-BMX?hsLang=en-us) **BMX Torque Sensors** [![DC smart electric screwdrivers (1)](https://5139817.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5139817/hubfs/DC%20smart%20electric%20screwdrivers%20(1).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DC%20smart%20electric%20screwdrivers%20(1).jpg)](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Power-Assembly-Tools/Power-Assembly-Electric-Screwdrivers/Power-Assembly-DC-Control-Tools?hsLang=en-us) **Smart Torque Control Systems** [![EZ TorQ Image-2](https://5139817.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5139817/hubfs/Product%20Assets/Product%20Assets-EZ%20TorQ%20III/EZ%20TorQ%20Image-2.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=EZ%20TorQ%20Image-2.jpg)](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Analyzers/Torque-Analyzers-EZ-TorQ-III?hsLang=en-us) **EZ-TorQ III Torque Analyzer** [![rotarysensorsq14\_05.sideview-1](https://5139817.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5139817/hubfs/rotarysensorsq14_05.sideview-1.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=rotarysensorsq14_05.sideview-1.jpg)](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Sensors/Torque-Sensors-RTSX?hsLang=en-us) **Rotary Torque Sensors** ![Stock placeholder image with grayscale geometrical mountain landscape](https://mountztorque.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Mountz%20Landing%20Pages/images/footer-logo-white-text.svg "Stock placeholder image with grayscale geometrical mountain landscape") TORQUE PRODUCTS -
