The formula to calculate the preload torque is:
Tpl=(yp100⋅S⋅A)⋅d12
Where:
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.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Tpl=(75100⋅50000⋅0.5)⋅112=(0.75⋅50000⋅0.5)⋅112=1562.5 lbf-ft
The Preload Torque is 1562.5 lbf-ft.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Tpl=(60100⋅60000⋅0.75)⋅1.512=(0.6⋅60000⋅0.75)⋅1.512=27000⋅1.512=3375 lbf-ft
The Preload Torque is 3375 lbf-ft.
