WEG W21 FASTENING BOLT TORQUE

SETTINGS
CALCULATION DATA
The diameter of the resistance section is equal to the mean of the average diameter and the diameter of the thread.
Steels static co-efficient of friction = 0.12
The torque figures below include the additional torque required to over-come friction with either a washer or the contact
surface of the bolts head.
