A Torque Rod Screw is a type of fastener commonly used in mechanical systems, particularly in automotive or heavy-duty applications, to secure a torque rod in place. Here’s a breakdown of the term and its uses:
Key Features:
Torque Rod:
A torque rod is a component used to control rotational movement, typically in suspension systems or drivetrains. It helps absorb the rotational force generated by the engine or drivetrain and prevents excessive movement.
In vehicles, torque rods are often used to maintain the alignment of the axle or keep the rear axle positioned relative to the vehicle's frame.
Screw:
The torque rod screw is the fastener that holds the torque rod in place, securing it to other components (such as the axle or vehicle frame). These screws may need to withstand high levels of tension and vibration, so they are typically high-strength bolts.
Materials:
Steel or stainless steel are common materials for torque rod screws because they provide the strength needed to handle the stresses and forces involved in the application.
Some screws may be coated to resist corrosion or for additional durability.
