Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0291215A2] An electric drive system applies rotational force to and threadably advances a fastener in a fastener and gasket assembly. A micro processor unit continuously compares the applied torque to a torque control limit value. When the torque control limit is reached the drive system power is reduced. After a preselected time pause the drive system applies at least one retorque pulse. When a predetermined quantity of retorque pulses have been applied, the tensioning operation is terminated.
