8 TECHNICAL DATA
8.1.2 Torques
All screw connections for which no tightening torque or preload force is stated in drawings
or mounting instructions are to be tightened according to VDI 2230.
All connections with screws which are not classic screw connections are excluded from this
rule. This means strap retainers, cable glands, screw fittings, gas connections, screws for
circuit boards etc. Here, the screw fittings have to be tightened as evenly as possible with a
significantly lower tightening torque (strap retainers 1 Nm, other screw fittings according to
manufacturer specification).
Select the next lower valid tightening torque for the screw for mixed materials and special
screws as well as relieved screws.
The basic friction coefficient is (screw fittings without lubrication) μk=μG=0.14. The
calculated values are valid for room temperature (T=20°C).
