Check Screw Clearance with torque tool
Insert screw characteristics and calculate torque and the tool 3D model will be showed
How it works
This calculator is based on the VDI 2230 guideline. In this guideline the torque required it is defined by the following expression:
Where
P : pitch of the thread in milimeters; it has been obtained from DIN 13-28 (ISO Metric Screw Threads; Coarse and Fine
Screw Threads from 1 to 250 mm)
μG is the coefficient of friction in the thread (in this case we have considered μG and μK equal and obtained from UNE
17-108-81)
μK is the coefficient of friction in screw head (in this case we have considered μG and μK equal and obtained from UNE
17-108-81)

d2 pitch diameter of the bolt head in mm; it has been obtained from DIN 13-28 (ISO Metric Screw Threads; Coarse and
Fine Screw Threads from 1 to 250 mm)
DKm Effective diameter for the friction moment at the bolt head or or nut bearing area and it is defined by the following
expression
Where
dw is the outside diameter of the plane head bearing surface of the bolt; generally bearing surface in this case we
have considered similar to the distance between flat surfaces of the head (head size), and it has been obtained from
the following standards: DIN 7623 ,DIN 7643, DIN 7991, DIN 908, DIN 912, DIN 931, DIN 933, DIN 934, DIN 960,
DIN 961, DIN 985, ISO 10642, ISO 4014, ISO 4017, ISO 4032, ISO 4762, ISO 7040, ISO 8676, ISO 8765, MBN

DKi is the inside diameter of the bearing area,we have considered the same as d2 and it has been obtained from
DIN 13-28 (ISO Metric Screw Threads; Coarse and Fine Screw Threads from 1 to 250 mm)
FM zul Permissible assembly preload defined by the following expressions

Where
ν:utilization fator of yield point stress (limit of full plasticization of th cross section at risk)durin tightening. It is
defined by user in the proof load percentage
Rp0,2 0,2% proof strength of the bolt according to DIN EN ISO 898-1; in this case we have used the values of
proof load from the standards SAE and ASTM and converted to the proper units N /mm2
A0 Appropriate minimum cross sectional area of the bolt
d2 pitch diameter of the bolt head in mm; it has been obtained from DIN 13-28 (ISO Metric Screw Threads;
Coarse and Fine Screw Threads from 1 to 250 mm)
d0 diameter at the relevant smallest cross section of the bolt; from the DIN 13-28 (ISO Metric Screw Threads;
N ote1 : In the case that the geometry standard is unknown then the programs assigns to Dkm value the average of several
screw standards. It is not so significant in the end result.
N ote2 : In the case of do not know the constact surfaces material the calculator will assign a friction coefficient of 0,1 ((μ) is
0,1)
Another function is to help to check the maintainability. If you introduce the screw standard and thread size you will have the link
to the recommended 3D models tools in order to check the required space to apply torque and to remove the screw. This will

help to check that the design is easy to mantain and prevent future redesign process during the assembly. You only have to
insert the tool in your 3D model and you will see that the bolt head clearance for the wrench, spanner or socket is enough.
Instructions
1) Enter thread diameter nominal value in section Thread Size. Click on info button for more info
2) In section Head Size and Type either select one fastener ISO with the "Select Standard for Type" option or enter manually
the type and whether the fastener is socket or not in the right part of the page, once you have selected Custom option.
3) Enter strength class of the fastener. Click on info button for more info
4) In section Coefficient of Friction either select one lubrication condition (faster and surface combination) with the "Select
Friction condition" option or enter manually or let the default value in the right part of the page, once you have selected
Unknown option.
5) Click on button calculate, and the calculated torque will appear below.
