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 ...

Whether you’re reading about V8 pickups or electric sedans, the concept of torque is critical to understanding the capabilities of a car. Torque often takes a back seat to horsepower when it comes to ...

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 ...

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.
