Prevailingtorq
Prevailingtorq is a term used in mechanics and engineering to describe the torque that remains in a fastener, such as a bolt or screw, after it has been tightened to a specific tension. This residual torque is crucial for maintaining the integrity of a bolted joint. When a fastener is tightened, it stretches, creating a clamping force that holds the components together. As the fastener is loosened, some of this tension is released, but a portion of the applied torque remains. This remaining torque is the prevailingtorq.
The presence of prevailingtorq is often a deliberate design feature, particularly in applications where vibration or
Understanding and controlling prevailingtorq is important for ensuring the reliability and safety of mechanical assemblies. Excessive
