Tightening torques for screw and bolt connections
Bolt locking devices
● Refit nuts or bolts that are mounted together with locking, resilient, and/or force-distributing
● When screwing together threads secured with a liquid adhesive, use a suitable medium
Tightening torques
The bolted connections with metal contact surfaces, such as end shields, bearing cartridge
parts, terminal box parts bolted onto the stator frame, should be tightened to the following
torques, depending on the thread size:

Applies to electrical connections in which the permissible torque is normally limited by the
bolt materials and/or the current carrying capacity of the insulators, with the exception of
the busbar connections in case B.
Applies to bolts screwed into components made from materials with lower property class
(e. g. aluminum) and to bolts with property class 8.8 according to ISO 898-1.
Applies to bolts with property class 8.8 or A4-70 according to ISO 898-1, however only to
bolts screwed into components made from materials with higher property class, e.g. cast
iron, steel or cast steel.
Note
Non-standard tightening torques
Different tightening torques for electrical connections and bolted connections for parts with
flat seals or insulating parts are specified in the relevant sections and drawings.
