2.3.2.1 Fastener Torque Specifications
To prevent assembly and part separations from the rotating assembly. The torque specification for
a fastener is specified in its associated replacement procedure. Specifications and replacement
procedures can found in the system service manual.
The use of a torque wrench may appear complicated because there are several standards and
measures. Using the conversion chart below can simplify that task.
Use only a calibrated torque wrench. Use a torque wrench that is on a Calibration schedule and is
approved by GEMS-AM Service. The kit that can be used that is on a regular Calibration schedule
is kit number 46-268445G1. This torque wrench kit has wrenches that measure inch pounds and
foot pounds and Newton Meters.
Make any necessary conversions for the torque wrench you are using. The units of measure are
typically marked on most torque wrenches. To make a conversions to Kgcm and Newton meters,
use Table 2-3 or use the following conversion factors:
• To convert Kgcm to ft-lbs, multiply Kgcm by 0.07233
• For conversion of Kgcm to in-lbs, multiply Kgcm by 0.86968
• Newton-Meters (Nm) into ft-lbs, multiply Nm by 0.73756
• Newton-Meters (Nm) into in-lbs, multiply Nm by 8.85075
• To convert Kgcm to ft-lbs, multiply Kgcm by 0.07233
• For conversion of Kgcm to in-lbs, multiply Kgcm by 0.86968
• Newton-Meters (Nm) into ft-lbs, multiply Nm by 0.73756
• Newton-Meters (Nm) into in-lbs, multiply Nm by 8.85075
Note: Do not round off either of the operands, as resulting accuracy will be reduced. (Results are rounded
values.)
