It was determined to be outside the scope as an advisory guide.FOREWORDFundamentally, threaded fasteners

6、are required to create a clamping force or load on the assembled joint to prevent loosening. To accomplish this, a tensile loading is applied onto a bolt or screw by itself or by a nut tightened on the bolt or screw.The axial stress in them produces a clamping force equal to the product of the proof

7、-load stress, reduced by a design factor, and the core area of the bolt or screw.Although clamping or tension load can be measured by load cells and strain gauges, these methods are impractical on theproduction line. The most practical methods of achieving control of joint clamp load involve torque

8、control, tightening anglecontrol, or combinations of torque and angle. In some cases, a torque versus angle yield method is utilized, particularly when tightening 5/8 in and larger fastener sizes, but measurement and assembly equipment is sensitive. Therefore, it becomes very important to understand

9、 the relationship between torque and tension.1. SCOPEThis SAE Information Report is provided as an advisory guide. Individual application discretion is recommended. The content has been presented as accurately as possible, but responsibility for its application lies with the user. The document cover

13、anical and Material Requirements for Steel NutsSAE J1648 Protective Coatings for Fasteners3. EXPLANATION OF TIGHTENING TERMS3.1 Torque is the product of force x lever arm length. It is the moment resistance of the fastener and its components to tightening, expressed in in-oz, in-lb, and ft-lb.3.2 Tu

14、rn Screw or Bolt and Turn Nut Terms describe which mating part is tightened. For turn screw, the head of the screw or bolt is turned against a panel into either a panel with a tapped thread or separate nut component.3.3 For turn nut, the nut is threaded onto a screw or bolt and is tightened against

15、the panel surface.3.4 Clamping Load occurs when the screw or bolt is stretched when the fastener is tightened. It is equal and opposite to the tensile force developed in the screw or bolt and is expressed as pounds (lb).3.5 Inertia is the tendency of a body to continue in motion after being subjecte

16、d to a force in a specific direction until acted upon by an outside force. In tightening, friction between mating parts and bearing against panel or part surfaces is the major contributing outside force and has to be overcome. Inertia of the rotating power tool is another factor which must be consid

17、ered.4. VARIABLES IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF CLAMPING LOAD TO APPLIED TORQUE4.1 FrictionThe friction resistance torque is the most important of all of the variables. It has two components, the friction resistance of the applied nut fastener with respect to mating part threads, and the bearing surface ag

18、ainst joint members. Increasing the clamping tension force on the screw or bolt increases the resistance to turning.4.2 Fastener MaterialsCharacteristic properties of hardness and surface condition can contribute to friction variability thus affecting tightening torque to obtain the same clamping lo

19、ad.4.2.1 Nonheat-treatable low-carbon stainless steels and other soft alloys cause increased friction resistance resulting in higher tightening torque for a given clamp load.4.2.2 Hardened steel or hard alloy fasteners have a harder slippery surface reducing friction and thereby requiring lower tigh

20、tening torque.4.2.3 Special materials, rubber, plastics, etc., either as fabricated fasteners or attached to them, also affect torque if they contact the rubbing surfaces during the tightening.SAE INTERNATIONAL J1701 FEB2017 Page 3 of 54.3 Surface Conditions, such as coatings or effects of the envir

21、onment applied to fasteners and bearing surfaces will affect tightening torque requirements for a given clamp load.4.3.1 The roughness, coarseness, or abrasiveness of coatings will increase required torque.4.3.2 Decreased friction due to the nature of the coating including oil, wax, teflon, or other

22、 lubricants will reduce required torque.4.3.3 Interferences due to dirt, rust, burrs and galling, or seizing caused by soft coatings (zinc is an example) on fasteners, mating parts, and panels increases required torque.4.3.4 Hardness of the fastener, its mating part, or the joint material will reduc

23、e required torque.4.3.5 Temperature contraction, especially if the assembly tightening was made while warm, will reduce clamping load. If the fastener is at a higher temperature than the assembly, then the clamping load increases upon cooling.Adjustments to assembly torque must accommodate these con

24、ditions.4.3.6 Humidity will cause reduced friction reducing required torque.4.3.7 Joint relaxation can occur if joint material can deform under load and/or time. In such cases, special torque sequencing may be required.4.4 WrenchingThe method of tightening has a profound influence on required torque

25、.4.4.1 The slow deliberate turning by hand wrenching allows the assembly to settle somewhat during tightening thus negating some of the effects of joint relaxation.4.4.2 High air pressure or electric power tool fastener tightening involving rotation contribute to lower torque. The use of inertia les

TORQUE MANAGEMENTTo determine how much hand or power tool torque should be applied to a fastener assembly or how much turn-of-the-nut tightening is required, consideration must be directed to the development

27、 of these methods.5.1 Theoretical Calculations to Obtain Torque Guide5.1.1 Empirical Equation(Eq. 1)where:T = torque (in-lb, ft-lb)D = screw or bolt nominal size (inch)W = screw or bolt tension (lb-oz)K = torque factor5.1.2 The tension of the screw or bolt is calculated by multiplying the usable scr

28、ew or bolt tensile strength by the tensile-stress core area of the screw or bolt. The nominal clamp load stress is assumed as 75% of proof load.T KDW=SAE INTERNATIONAL J1701 FEB2017 Page 4 of 55.1.3 The torque factor is the critical parameter in Equation 1 influenced primarily by the frictional cond

29、itions along the thread flank and at the bearing surfaces.The other influence on “K” is the relative resiliency of the fastener and joint material.a. Therefore:(Eq. 2)where:K1 represents the torque factor wasted by friction on the bearing surface of the nut or bolt, approximately 50% of the total to

30、rque factorK2 factor represents the wasted friction on the contact flanks of the threads, about 40% of the total “K”K3 factor represents the useful torque producing the bolt tension, about 10% of the total “K”b. K is 0.15/0.20 when bolts, nuts, and washers of the fastener joint are clean and coated

31、with a thin film of protective oil.When dirt, rust, and other defects of field storage and environmental exposure are present, K can be 0.25/0.40. Refer to Table 1 for torque K factors for other conditions.Table 1 - Torque factors for surfaceconditions of mating fastenersMating Parts KDry, clean wit

33、ss steel screws/bolts can be asand parts not lubricated or coated high as 0.355.2 Clamp load and torque calculations based on the aforementioned formula for dry and lubricated conditions are tabulated in Table 2.5.3 Turn-of-the-Nut MethodThe previous sections dwelled on tightening torque to produce

34、clamping tension. The turn-of-the-nut method can produce satisfactory clamping when the joint is completely closed prior to the turn movement.Since the basis for tightening threaded fasteners is screw or bolt tension, stretching the bolt by turning the nut a number of degrees clockwise after finger

35、or snug tight will accomplish this. The bolt stretch is the degrees turned portion of the 360pitch dimension. The number of degrees turned depends upon the strength of the bolt and the joint thickness.This document has not elaborated on the method because it is not effective unless the joint is clos

36、ed under the screw/bolt head or nut. Nevertheless, turn-of-the-nut is the most practical for 5/8 inch and larger sizes.K K1 K2 K3+ +=SAE INTERNATIONAL J1701 FEB2017 Page 5 of 5Table 2 - Torque-tension relationships for SAE grades 2, 5, and 8NominalSizeandThreads/InchStressArea (1)in2Grade 2ClampLoad
