Class-12.9 Torque and Force
Calculation for Class 12.9 Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screw Tightening Torque: TfA=0.35k(1+1/Q)y.As.d Induced Load: Ff=0.7xyxAs
PMM-60-011
Where, k : Torque Coefficient d : Nominal Diameter of Bolt (mm) Q : Tightening Coefficient y : Yield Strength (1100 N/mm2) As : Effective Sectional Area of the Bolt (mm2)
Example: Proper torque and induced load for Alloy steel pieces tightened together by means of a hexagon socket head cap screw, M6
*Torque(TfA)=0.35k(1+1/Q)y.As.d
TfA=0.35x0.2(1+1/1.4)x1100x20.1x6 TfA=15919 N-mm TfA=15.9 (N-m)
*Axial Force(Ff)=0.7xyxAs
Ff=0.7x1100x20.1 Ff=15477 Ff=15477 N
