What is Preload Torque?

Preload torque refers to the torque required to apply a specific preload (tension) to a fastener, such as a bolt. This preload ensures that the fastener is properly tensioned to hold components together securely. The preload torque is calculated based on the preload percentage, tensile yield, cross-sectional area, and nominal diameter of the fastener.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Tpl=(75100500000.5)112=(0.75500000.5)112=1562.5 lbf-ft

The Preload Torque is 1562.5 lbf-ft.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Tpl=(60100600000.75)1.512=(0.6600000.75)1.512=270001.512=3375 lbf-ft

The Preload Torque is 3375 lbf-ft.
