How is flywheel torque calculated?

In this experiment a flywheel is so mounted that torques can be applied to it by hanging a mass M from the free end of a string, the remainder of which is wrapped around the axle. The torque due to the weight is τ = Tr where T is the tension in the string and r the radius of the axle.

Do you really need a torque wrench for wheels?

While a torque wrench is not absolutely required, it’s a good idea. You need to ensure the wheel is evenly clamped onto the hub. This prevents the wheel from warping and causing other issues. Using the lug wrench which comes with the car will get you down the road.

What can happen if too much or too little torque is applied?

Yet too much torque is equally harmful, damaging the nylon or plastic within some tensioners or idler pulleys, as well as the bearing, or damaging the screw thread of the bolt or nut in question.

When using a torque wrench What is the third step?

Step 3: Start tightening the fasteners. Torque wrenches work exactly like any other wrench. Do not try to reach the torque value right away. start by lightly tightening all of the fasteners once and do it once more until you reach the correct value.

How tight should car wheel nuts be with a torque wrench?
