Class 10.9 Capscrews And Class 10 Nuts
The following specifications apply to required
assembly torques for all metric class 10.9 finished
hexagon head capscrews and class 10 nuts.
DO NOT lubricate capscrew threads and seats during
assembly.
These specifications are based on the
following hardware:
• All capscrews
• All nuts
• All hardened washers being phosphate and oil
coated
NOTE: If zinc-plated hardware is used, each piece
must be lubricated with simple lithium base chassis
grease (multi-purpose EP NLGI) or a rust preventive
grease (see list, this page) to achieve the same
clamping forces provided below.
NOTE: Torques are calculated to give a clamping
force of approximately 75% of proof load.
maximum torque tolerance shall be within ±10% of
the torque value shown.
In the following table under "Capscrew Size", the first
number represents the shank diameter (mm). The
second number represents thread pitch in millimeters.
Example: M20 x 2.25
M20 = shank diameter (20 mm)
2.25 = thread pitch in millimeters
