Tightening
Moving automated machinery may cause death or injury. Never

attempt to tighten bolts while machine is in operation. Use
appropriate lockout procedures.
Structural failures can cause falling hardware; resulting in severe

injury or death. This equipment utilizes components that are
wear items requiring periodic replacement. Failure to inspect &
replace worn components can result in structural failures.
In order to achieve the desired clamp load from a bolted connection the
most common method is to subject the bolt to give amount of torque
which translates to clamping force in the joint. The following pages list
the appropriate torques for various combinations of fasteners.
When torquing a bolt it is always recommended that you use a torque

wrench. The proper tightening torque for each fastener type depends
upon the following factors:
• Fastener diameter
• Thread type
• Fastener material type
• Thread lubrication
Since there are several variables, recommended torques for the most
common arrangements have been tabulated in the following pages.
In some cases it is impossible to get a torque wrench into confined areas

such as Coil Spring Hangers. In these cases, one of the following methods
may be used.

BOLT TORQUE GUIDE
________________________________________________________________________
Torquing Bolts Using a Lever

Using a lever or extended wrench the applied amount of torque can be
calculated as:
Torque (ft-lb) = Force (lb) * Lever length (ft)
Figure 1. Force and Lever resulting in Torque
Example:
A 1 ¼”, grade 5, coarse thread bolt should be tightened to 1,120 ft-lb

(reference attached tables). If using a 6 ft long lever, the required force at
the end of the lever can be calculated as:
Torque / Lever = Force
1120 (ft-lb) / 6 (ft) = 186 (lb)

BOLT TORQUE GUIDE
________________________________________________________________________
Turn-of-Nut Tightening Method

In cases where there is no room for a torque wrench or a lever, the turn-
of-nut tightening method may be used. The procedure is as follows:
Bolts should be brought to a snug-tight condition. Snug tight is defined as

the tightness that exists when your bolted joint is in firm contact. If a gap
exists between the joint, loosen the nut and shim the gap and return the
nut to a snug tight condition. This may be attained by a few impacts of an
impact wrench (when access allows) or the full effort of a person using a
standard size wrench. At this point, mark the nut and nut side surface.
Hold the bolt head and turn the nut ½ turn for bolt up to and including 4
diameters in length and ¾ turn for bolts above 4 diameters in length.
General Notes
• We recommend the use of nuts and jam nuts for all vibrating
applications. If a single nut arrangement is desired, the use of a
metal to metal type locknut such as “Security locknuts” or
“Flexloc” is recommended, (Nylon inserted nuts or other
nonmetal to metal locking nuts are not recommended) no lock
washer of any type is recommended. These nuts use the same
torque as listed in this document for a given grade, thread, and
finish.
• When tightening bolts make sure the joint is metal to metal
contact. Do not force joints together, shim to ensure metal to
metal contact. When tightening multiple bolt joints use proper
bolt sequencing to ensure the joint is pulled together evenly.
• When using jam nuts, always tighten the bolt and nut to its proper
torque, then hold the nut and tighten the jam nut. Jam nuts
should be tightened to 50% of the full nut torque.
• It is mandatory to use hardened structural washers on all bolted
structural connections. Standard flat washers are not allowed on
vibratory equipment. In some cases Carrier will provide special
manufactured washers for certain connections. In those cases,
these washers are to be re-used when bolted joints are re-
assembled.

Torque Nut
Figure 2. Torque nut schematic.
In some demanding applications Carrier will opt to use specialized

fasteners. One such fastener is the Torque nut.
The Superbolt® Torque nut is designed to maximize the holding power of

bolts 1” in diameter and larger using only hand tools and torque
wrenches. Properly tightened torque nuts will not loosen and are ideal
for vibrating equipment and limited space areas (See Figure1).

BOLT TORQUE GUIDE

Installation Procedure
1. Determine the correct jackbolt torque for your size specific nut
using the torque chart in Table 1.
2. Confirm jackbolts are lubricated with the correct torque nut
lubricant (JL-G or JL-M). New torque nut jackbolts are pre-
lubricated from the factory.
3. Lubricate threads of main bolt using standard anti-seize (do not
use anti-seize on jackbolts).
4. Slide the hardened washer on to the bolt and lubricate the washer
face and the jackbolt tips with the correct lubrication as supplied
with the bolt (JL-G or JL-M). Additional lubrication can be ordered
from the factory.
5. Make sure the jackbolt tips are flushed or recessed with the
bottom of the nut.
6. Spin the nut onto the bolts until it seats against the washer and
then back off the nut 1/16 – 1/8” as mentioned in the installation/
removal tips.
7. Tightened the 4 jackbolts 90° apart (12:00, 6:00, 9:00 and 3:00)
with a partial torque of 50% of tabulated torque value, this will
seat the flange. While it is not necessary, if you use an impact
wrench, select a tool with a rated output of 100%-125% of the
tabulated torque value. Torque values higher than 125% of the
rated value can damage the jackbolts and/or the Superbolt®.
8. Tighten the same 4 jackbolts to 100% of the rated torque value.
Then tighten the remaining jackbolts in a circular pattern until all
are stabilized (less than 20° rotation) this usually requires 2-4
more additional passes.
9. Thread the supplied safety wire thru the hole in the jackbolt
heads, then twist and tie off the ends to prevent any jackbolt
movement.

Removal Procedures
Removal requires strict procedures. Jackbolts must be unloaded
gradually. If any jackbolts are unloaded prematurely, the remaining
jackbolts will carry the entire load and may be hard to turn. With extreme
abuse, a jackbolt tip can deform making removal difficult.
Service Under 250°F
Preparation: Spray jackbolts with penetrating oil or hydraulic oil prior to

start (especially if product is in a corrosive environment).
1. Loosen each jackbolt 1/8 turn following a circular pattern around
the tensioner (1 round only). Note: As you move around and get
back to the 1st jackbolt, it will be tight again.
2. Repeat the 2nd round as above loosening each jackbolt 1/4 turn
in a circular pattern.
3. Continue loosening 1/4 turn for 3rd and successive rounds until all
jackbolts are loose. Note: Usually after the 3rd and 4th round, an
impact can be used to completely remove the jack bolts one by
one.
4. Remove, clean and relubricate the jackbolts prior to the next use
with the correct lubricant (JL-G or JL-M).

BOLT TORQUE GUIDE
________________________________________________________________________
Service Over 250°F
Preparation: Above 300°F the petroleum base of the lubricant burns off.
1. As the equipment is cooling down (around 300°F), soak jackbolts
and washer with hydraulic oil and let it sit for several hours. If
tensioner is inverted, squirt oil in the gap between the nut body
and the washer. Note: Synthetic oil can be used for oiling over
300°F
2. Wait for tensioners to cool below 200°F. Using a circular pattern,
“crack” each jackbolt only enough to ensure movement. Note: Do
not turn any beyond break loose point. Do not begin to unload
any given stud before all jackbolts on all studs have been cracked.
3. Now begin with the procedure for service under 250°F.
Installation / Removal Tips

Prior to Tightening:
1. Check threads of main bolt: If possible, verify that the Superbolt® ™

spins on prior to the installation. If a tensioner is tight or will not
thread on, try using lapping compound on the main thread, and work
the tensioner in a back and forth motion making small advances until
the threads loosen up. If necessary, chase the bolts with a die.
2. Use of spacers: Tensioners should be positioned at the ends of the

studs to maximize exposed threads and facilitate easy access to the
jackbolts. A spacer (or stacked washers) can be used beneath the
special hardened washer to accomplish this. A spacer will also step
over a damaged area on a stud where years of bolting have deformed
the first few threads.
3. Back the tensioner off to provide 1/16” to 1/8” gap: this gives
additional jackbolt extension which provided easy access for oiling
the jackbolt tips prior to removal.
4. Sockets: Use six point quality sockets in good condition. Worn sockets
can eventually round the corners of the jackbolts. Pay attention to
the depth of the socket hex. A deeper hex is best to maximize socket
and jackbolt life (deep well sockets will often have a deeper hex).

For Tightening
5. To improve efficiency when using impacts: Don’t wait for the socket
to stall completely on a specific jackbolt before advancing to the next
jackbolt. It is faster, overall, to move quickly between jackbolts.
For Removal
6. Don’t be too aggressive: Removing the jackbolts too quickly (more

than a 1/4 turn) will increase the removal torque of the remaining
jackbolts and you may get stuck and have to go back, retighten, and
start again.
7. Stuck jackbolt removal: If a jackbolt will not turn, remove, re-lube,

and re-tighten a neighboring jackbolt and then try to turn it.
8. Damaged jackbolt removal: Should a jackbolt tip mushroom from

extreme overloading caused by improper removal, the jackbolt tip
can be cut with a cutting disk.
