Introduction to Silicone Silicone is a synthetic polymer made of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, commonly classified as a plastic in manufacturing due to its moldable properties. However, its chemical structure resembles rubber, making it more of an elastomer. Silicone's unique silicon-oxygen backbone gives it stability, temperature resistance, and chemical durab...
In industrial manufacturing, the tightening quality of bolts/screws directly determines product reliability. Since tightening processes vary significantly across different products, servo screwdrivers must support multiple tightening strategies to meet diverse fastening requirements. Even with just torque and angle as parameters, three strategies can be formed: “Torque p...

In the process of automotive seat assembly, a mature and reliable bolt-tightening technology solution can reduce defects and errors during production, ensure the quality and reliability of seat bolt tightening, and significantly reduce accidents in later use. Improper tightening of seat bolts may cause the seat to suddenly shift forward, backward, or downward during brak...
A wave spring is a type of flat wire compression spring with a unique waveform-like structure. Unlike traditional coil springs that produce forces through torsion, wave springs generate forces through bending. This allows them to compress and expand while occupying up to 50 percent less axial space, providing engineers with more flexibility in their designs. “Many engin...
Bolt-fastening failures often stem from one root cause—torque decay. After assembly, the preload (clamping force) of a bolt quietly decreases over time. At best, this leads to joint loosening or sealing failure; at worst, it triggers equipment vibration, structural separation, or even safety accidents. A deep understanding of its causes—and the adoption of targeted measu...
In modern manufacturing, integrating torque screwdrivers with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a key direction for technological innovation. Through this integration, companies can achieve more efficient production processes, improved quality control, enhanced data management, and optimized resource allocation. Below, we explore the advantages of torque screwdri...
In modern industrial production, robotic bolt tightening has become one of the key technologies for improving production efficiency and quality. With the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing, more and more enterprises are adopting robots to carry out bolt-tightening tasks. So, what are the standout advantages of robotic screw tightening? Speed and Consiste...
In 3C and many other industries, fastening small screws is a routine process. Yet, because the threads are weak and the tapped holes are made of soft material, these screws usually tolerate only 0.1–0.5 Nm of torque and are therefore easily stripped by over-tightening. Stripped threads not only scrap the product but also raise cost and lengthen cycle time. Preventing thi...
Across the market, the adoption of production automation increases year by year. This trend is driven not only by labor costs and efficiency demands; in some precision-sensitive workstations, automation has become the primary method to avoid human influence and determine batch stability and product qualification. However, not all workstations can achieve standardized ass...
During the assembly of complete vehicles and automotive parts, a large quantity of hexagonal-head (external hex) bolts is used for fastening. As labor costs rise and Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing accelerates, many manufacturers have begun adopting automatic screw-feeding and tightening equipment to meet the demands of modern, high-volume production and full automation...
What is a self-tapping screw? In the usual sense, a self-tapping screw is a threaded fastener that does not require a pre-cut internal thread. When the screw is driven into an untapped (plain) hole, it cuts its own internal thread. This operation demands high torque; the mating part is normally a relatively soft material such as plastic, aluminum, or magnesium. Self-tap...
Bolt loosening falls into two categories: Rotational loosening – relative rotation between internal and external threads causes the preload to drop. Non-rotational loosening – preload is lost without relative rotation (e.g., local surface collapse or embedding after tightening). The amount of clamp-force loss depends on bolt and joint stiffness, the number of contact su...
Modern manufacturing uses ever-increasing amounts of plastic parts. Their self-tapping screw joints, however, must be handled very differently from metal joints. Because of the unique properties of plastic, torque-only control is unreliable. Below we explain why a combined torque-and-angle strategy is essential. 1 Particularities of plastic tightening 1.1 Material ...
In modern industrial production, screws may be small, yet they are key components in the assembly of countless products.

Here are several aspec...
In a wide variety of mechanical products, screw connections are the most common joining method. In consumer electronics—televisions, mobile phones, cameras, etc.—screws with nominal diameters below 5 mm are used extensively. A frequent problem here is “float”: the screw is not driven to the specified depth, yet the peak torque value reaches the programmed target and th...
As a "barometer" of tightening quality, the tightening curve can detect whether the tightening state is abnormal in real time during the tightening process, and infer what kind of problems encountered according to the characteristics of the curve, which also plays a great role in the fault prevention management of bolt assembly. What is the acceptable tightening curve? ...
