Factors Affecting Tighten­ ing Torque

The tightening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the followings. After tightening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.

1)Voltage

When the battery pack becomes near- ly discharged, the voltage decreases and the tightening torque drops.

tightening torque. Excessive tightening, how­

 

ever, adds no value and reduces the life of

 

the tool.

3)

Different bolt diameters

 

The size of the bolt diameter affects the tight­

 

ening torque.

 

Generally, as the bolt diameter increases,

 

tightening torque rises.

4)

Tightening conditions

Tightening torque will vary, even with the same bolt, according to grade, length, and torque coefficient (the fixed coefficient indi­ cated by the manufacturer upon produc­ tion).

same bolting material (e.g. steel), accord­ ing to the surface finish.

Torque is greatly reduced when the bolt and nut start turning together.

5)Socket play

Torque is lowered as the six-sided configu­ ration of the socket of the wrong size is used to tighten a bolt.

6)Switch (Variable speed control trigger)

Torque is lowered if the unit is used with the switch not fully depressed.

7)Effect of Connecting Adaptor

The tightening torque will be lowered through the use of a universal joint or a connecting adaptor.
