Rundown Fixtures Simulate Joint Behavior During Tightening
Rundown fixtures, also known as joint simulators or run-down adapters, simulate the behavior of a bolted or screwed joint during tightening.
They are crucial for accurately testing and calibrating torque tools. The performance of a tool is highly dependent on the conditions of the actual joint. Rundown fixtures help to provide a more consistent and repeatable test environment by mimicking the resistance a tool encounters when tightening a fastener into a joint.
Rundown fixtures are essential for ensuring accurate and repeatable torque measurements in various applications, from manufacturing and assembly to quality control and calibration.
They help bridge the gap between laboratory testing and real-world usage of torque tools.
