Torque Accuracy in Aerospace Manufacturing

Spacely Sprockets (a pseudonym) specializes in the manufacture of aerospace products. The corporate mission of Spacely Sprockets is simply “client success”, which drives the expectation that every product must work the first time, every time. Spacely Sprockets relies on accurate application of torque when tightening mechanical fasteners during the manufacturing process. Torque is a twisting force; too little or too much torque applied in the manufacturing process can lead to unreliable and unsafe products and failure to meet its mission.
