What is Torque? - Fastening Theory Part 1

https://www.flexibleassembly.com/ In this educational video we explore the threaded fastener, its relationship to torque, and fastener strength. What is torque? How is it measured? What loads and forces are at play within a bolted joint. How do we achieve clamp force? All these questions and more are covered in part 1 of Flexible Assembly Systems fastening theory video series. See below for a breakdown of the topics covered in this video.
