The class Understanding Torque provides a comprehensive overview of torque and its importance in fastening applications. Torque is a rotational force derived by multiplying force times distance.

Perhaps we should start with the basics of how a converter works. It is essentially a modified fluid coupling that, like a clutch, allows the transmission to be separated from the engine, so the ...

For most readers, understanding horsepower is easy; the bigger the number, the faster you go. Torque, however, is a figure that underlies horsepower. Once you understand what it is, and its ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Thread the nut onto the bolt, hit it with 37 “ugga-duggas” and it’s all done, right? *insert buzzer here* Whoops! That’s a fail, and now you have a broken bolt. If you have been turning wrenches for a ...

Bourns, Inc. announced a new combined torque and angle sensor designed for Electric Power Assisted Steering Applications (EPAS) and other automotive systems. The new combined sensor provides torque ...

Value is a buzzword in today's economy, but in the world of tools, oftentimes "value" is seen as inferior. Not so with Eastwood's new digital electronic torque-angle wrenches. We used them side by ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
