Why is tightening torque important?

Why is tightening torque important?

The Importance of Proper Torque Typically, an under torqued bolt will deform and be unable to provide as much clamping force as needed. An over torqued bolt will break.

Why do we need torque?

Torque is a crucial part of generating power from a car’s engine, as it represents the load an engine can handle to generate a certain amount of power to rotate the engine on its axis. Multiply this torque force (in lb-ft.) by the axis’s rotational speed per minute (RPM) and you get the engine’s power output.

Is loosening torque the same as tightening torque?

It is similar to the “first movement” method, with one basic difference. Instead of applying torque in the tightening direction of the fastener, this test uses force in the direction that loosens the fastener. The torque value to loosen the fastener is the approximate torque that was applied to the joint.

What’s the maximum tightening torque on a screw?

The maximum tightening torques are: Only applicable to shaft screws with metric standard and fine threads acc. to DIN 13, sheet 13 and nuts with height of 0,8 x d acc. to DIN 934 and only for a µ total = 0.125 (screws phosphatized, screws untreated or galvanized. Lubrication condition: unlubricated and also oiled).
