Remark: The preloads stated in the table result in 90% utilization of the yield Rei (ISO 898-1).
The tightening torques are calculated from formula T = k x F x d.
Assumes coefficient of friction to be 0.14 for dry, 0.125 for plain and 0.08 ~ 0.1 for lubricated nut and bolt.
The above information is for guidance only and is correct to the best of our knowledge. 1 Nm = 0.737562 lb-ft.
The customer must satisfy themselves with the performance of the fastener and validity of the data.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any failure that may occur from the use of this information.
