As Charlie Chaplin figured out during his brief assembly-line career depicted in the 1936 film Modern Times, tightening bolts all day can be a real pain. Lucky for Charlie, and for any one of us ...

Multijackbolt tensioners save time, space, and money when it comes to oversized bolts. Multijackbolt tensioners (MJT) are heavy-duty bolt-tightening devices that engineers use on critical equipment, ...

The scatter of bolt clamping force tightened by the conventional torque control method very often causes loosening and fatigue failure of bolted joints. Different values of frictional coefficients ...

Analyzing one-bolt joints with FEA would usually call for modeling a small assembly, friction, and contact. And unless the design is for a limited life, the complex effort is overkill. Boltcalc ...

There’s no need to use a torque wrench to tighten 99 percent of the nuts and bolts on farm equipment. But if you work on engines, transmissions, final drives or other assemblies that require or ...

This refreshingly simple forced induction system for motorcycles won't give you the huge power output of a turbo system – but it can give you a boost of up to 0.6 bar (8.7 psi) and some 15-25 percent ...
