Did you know that an incorrect screw fastening sequence can provide unreliable results? The wrong sequence could cause manufacturing failures and add additional rework expenses. Joint relaxation occurs to some extent in all fastened joints and is a problem in joints where gaskets, or parts such as spring washers and plastics, are utilized. It can take a long time before the joint settles, which reduces the clamping force until the joint condition stabilizes.
Sequence-based fastening is critical to proper process control and a quality fastening result for torque applications. The fastening sequence for tightening bolts or screws can significantly influence the preload. A good tightening sequence achieves even preload distribution.
Selecting a sequence pattern should be evaluated and tested before implementing an assembly procedure. Reduce product rework and warranties by adding another layer of error proofing to the manufacturing line.
Our product specialist David Cash will demonstrate how to implement an assembly process that ensures all the fasteners are installed and tightened to the correct fastening sequence. Please register today to attend our live event and receive our on-demand webinar recording 48 hours after the presentation.
