Tightening torques for common thread sizes in general mechanics
The specified tightening torques for headless screws and nuts are calculated values and are based
on the following conditions:
- Calculation acc. VDI 2230 (Issue February 2003)
- Friction value for thread and contact surfaces
μ
=0.10
- Exploitation of the yield stress 90 %
