Screwconnection classes, tightening torques and initialtensioning forces
6.10.1 Screwconnection classes
The specified screw connections are to be fastened applying the tightening torques specified observing
the table below.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the bolts and/or mating threads through incorrect tightening.
Foundation bolts, hub bolts and bearingcover bolts must always be tightened in accordance with
screwconnection class "C".

The tightening torques applying to these addon parts can be found in the instructions supplied by the
manufacturers of the parts.
6.10.2 Tightening torques and initialtensioning forces
The tightening torques apply to friction coefficients of μ
The friction coefficient μ
and dry, cut mating threads in steel or cast iron. Lubricants which alter the friction coefficient must not be
used and may overload the screw connection.
