Why You Should Not Over Torque Fasteners

  When torque is applied and it is tightened, it will require an increased amount of torque to further tighten. People who are mostly inexperienced and are working with torques usually over-tighten the fasteners. They think that it will stop them from loosening, but that’s usually not the case. It damages the fasteners. A thread locker solution, locking washer, locking nut or a combination of these three must be used to prevent the fastener from loosening over time. 

Torquing The Fasteners

Torquing means the tightening of the fasteners to the accurate level. Fasteners should be placed evenly; as torquing a fastener incorrectly can even damage the whole structure or machine built.
