# Joint parameters

General category

- Name (*): type the Joint name. The maximum number of characters permitted is equal to 50.

- Description: type the Joint description. The maximum number of characters permitted is equal to 50.

- Identifier: type the Joint identifier. The maximum number of characters permitted is equal to 50.

- Tightening direction: select the tightening direction. The available items are Clockwise and Counterclockwise.

- Trace simulation: it is possible to:

  - select a trace to be linked to the joint: tap the Search icon (), then select an already configured trace from the Trace page.

  - add a new trace to be linked to joint: tap the Search icon (). On the upper-right corner of the Trace page, tap Add to configure a new trace.

  - delete the link to the trace: tap the Delete icon ().

If the test on the Joint is run on an STbench brake enabled for trace simulation, the bench will simulate the joint characteristics.

- Notes: type the optional Joint notes.

Torque category

- Unit of measurement: select the unit of measurement to use.

- Final angle monitoring torque: type the final angle monitoring torque value.

  The final angle monitoring torque must be equal or higher than the Minimum torque.

  By default the value is the 50% of the Target torque.

- Control mode: select how to define the torque limits. The options are: Min/Max and Target/tolerance.

- Minimum torque (*): type the minimum value of the torque. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Min/Max.

- Target torque (*): type the value of the target torque.

- Maximum torque (*): type the maximum value of the torque. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Min/Max.

- Torque tolerance (*): type the value of the tolerance of the torque. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Target/Tolerance.

Angle category

- Control mode: select how to define the angle limits. The options are: Min/Max and Target/tolerance.

- Minimum angle (*): type the minimum value of the angle. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Min/Max.

- Target angle (*): type the value of target angle.

- Maximum angle (*): type the maximum value of the angle. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Min/Max..

- Angle tolerance (*): type the value of the tolerance of the angle. This parameter is available if Control mode is set to Target/Tolerance.

Items marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
