Technical Deep Dive: Why Torque Alone Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story
In a recent episode of EPARTRADE’s Race Industry Now webinar series, P1 Manufacturing and the Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association (AERA) delivered a highly technical and insightful discussion that challenged one of the most fundamental assumptions in engine assembly: that torque equals clamping force.
Titled “Is Your Torque Wrench Telling the Whole Story? The Facts About Torque Input, Clamp Load, and Friction,” the session featured Shannon Strother, Director of Future Technology at P1 Manufacturing, and Chuck Lynch, Vice President of Technical Service at AERA, and was hosted by Brad Gillie of SiriusXM.
