TECHNICAL DATA
TIGHTENING TORQUES
TIGHTENING TORQUES AND RELEVANT PRELOADS FOR STANDARD CONNECTIONS
The values provided in the following table refer to standard tightness, i.e. metric screws coupled with relevant nut or with lead screw
in metal.
The parts to be tightened together must be in metal or suffi ciently rigid not to need the insertion of bushing or shims.
Coupling must always use lightly oiled or greased threads; alternatively, the type of thread lock paste required will be indicated
Axial preloads, related to tightness torques, have been increased by 10% on the calculated value to take into account the tolerance
on the nominal torque and the changes that the friction coeffi cient may undergo between tightening operations.
(*) The metric screw indicated has a fi ne pitch.
