A method of obtaining high clamp force accuracy at a threaded joint mounting process by a power tool includes: registering, during a certain interval of the mounting process, tightening and loosening torques applied on the joint, rotational movement of an output shaft relative to a housing, and housing angular displacements about a rotation axis and in relation to an immobile point; calculating output shaft true rotational movements by comparing its rotational movements relative to the housing with the registered housing angular displacements; comparing the applied tightening and loosening torques during the certain interval to determine a clamp force related tightening torque; relating the determined tightening torque to the calculated output shaft rotational movements to determine a clamp force coefficient of the threaded joint; and completing the mounting process by tightening the joint to a target clamp force level by applying a determined clamp force coefficient based torque. |
