Then apply the tightening torque to the knob to provide the final clamping force. In lab
testing, 25 in-lbs of tightening torque was determined to provide the optimal clamping force,
but anywhere between 10 in-lbs and 25 in-lbs is adequate. This tightening force range equates
to the average human tightening a knob by hand. Do not use a tool and over-tighten or
excessive wear on components will occur and the product lifespan will be shortened.
