Tightening
Description Advantage and disadvantage
Method
Control and operation is easy in tightening.
Bolt tightening is controlled by torque
Torque control Since torque value does not change because of bolt leght,
value
method standardization is easy
Wadely used
Dispersion band of axial tension is wide and bolt efficiency is low.
When bolts are tightened within the plastic zone, dipersion of axial
Bolt tightening is controlled by angle. tension is small an opertaion is easy
Angle control
The bolt is tightened to a defined angle Since it will be tightened over yield point, there is a limitation on the
method from snug torque. threaded joint with additive load or retightening, and it difficult to
define the tightening angle.
Bolt is tightened from proportional point Since disperdion width of the axial tension is small, efficiency of bolted
Gradient until the yield point is reached. joint is large. Inspection of bolt itself is possible.
method Electronic circuit makes arithmetic Tightening will go over yield point. Tightening device is expensive. In
processing of angle, torque, ets the service field, the tightening method is not available.
