Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017144281A1] A method of tightening a joint by means of a handheld power tool, the method comprising the following steps: • monitoring the torque (T) during a tightening operation; • monitoring an angle (α) of the output shaft (11) relative to the surrounding area by means of a combined monitoring of an angle of rotation (αa) of the output shaft (11) about the axis of the output shaft with respect to the housing (14), and an angle of rotation (αb) of the housing (14) around the axis of the output shaft relative to the surrounding area; • calculating an instantaneous differential coefficient (dT/dα) of the monitored torque (T) per monitored angle (a) of the output shaft relative to the surrounding area, and • interrupting the tightening operation in response to a predetermined decrease of the instantaneous differential coefficient (dT/dα) of the monitored torque per monitored angle of the output shaft relative to the surrounding area.
