Mechanical
Screw Torque Calculator
Calculates the torque needed to clamp a fastener to a target axial force, accounting for thread geometry and friction. Use it when tightening critical bolted joints to avoid under- or over-torquing.

Mechanical
Bolt Torque Calculator
Calculates the tightening torque required to achieve a target clamp load in a bolted joint, based on bolt diameter, material strength, and friction. Use it when assembling structural or mechanical joints to avoid under- or over-tightening.
