Why proper tightening torque makes or breaks any joint
In fastening technology, nothing is more precious than control and proper tightening torque for every joint. An aerospace-quality bolt loses all its luster when it's either overtightened too lightly or too hard. Too little force? The joint comes loose. Too much force? Thread tears off, gaskets collapse or, worse, critical structures fail.

That's why Archey always goes beyond just supplying fasteners: we also provide the know-how and tools to secure each joint exactly to specification.
Tightening torque as quality assurance
In industries with high safety requirements, think offshore wind, food & pharma plants or high-tech mechanical engineering, tightening torque is legally defined in standards and audit protocols. An error of even a few newton meters can result in costly downtime or injury. Archey has its own database of application- and material-specific tightening torques, supplemented by the practical experience of our product specialists . So you get not just theory, but validated practical values on which you can build.
From calculation to practice
A theoretically calculated moment is only the beginning. To reproduce it in practice you have:
- Torque wrenches and power sockets in the appropriate range and accuracy class;
- Coated or insulated tools for hygienic, ATEX or electro-critical environments;
- Regulated calibration with traceable certificate.
Each parameter affects the others. This is why we always provide a total picture: article + tool + calibration plan. This is the only way to create predictable quality.
Risks of "uncontrolled" assembly
Samples show that 30% of unforeseen production stops are indirectly related to incorrect tightening torque. Think of leaking flange gaskets in the chemical industry or loose body screws in the automotive industry. In almost all cases, periodic tool recalibration and correct torque specifications could have prevented the downtime.
Archey's method in four steps
- Analysis: we review drawing, material and load profile;
- Selection: we choose the optimal fastening item, including surface or lubricant recommendations;
- Torque-mapping: we translate the load into a controllable tightening torque;
- Assurance: we provide calibrated tools, instructional training and ISO-compliant reporting.
