Torque｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Torque?
Torque is the rotational force applied around an axis.
It is generated when a force is applied at a distance from the center of rotation.
Torque is commonly used to tighten or loosen fasteners such as nuts and bolts.
It is typically measured in units such as newton-meters (N·m) or newton-centimeters (N·cm).
Torque in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial connectors, torque is critical for achieving proper electrical and mechanical connections.
Applying the correct torque ensures stable contact and prevents damage to connectors.
Over-tightening can damage threads or deform components, while under-tightening may cause signal degradation.
Torque wrenches are often used to achieve consistent and reliable tightening.
