Notes concerning tightening torques

The tightening torques are based on the following friction coefficients:

Friction coefficient μG,K

for thread and head contact surface

Strength class of screw

0.14

8.8 / 70Stainless steel screws, 80Stainless steel screws

0.09

10.9, 12.9

If screws with a different friction coefficient are used, the tightening torques must be adapted accordingly.

Only use one of the following tools to tighten the screws:

  • Torque wrench
  • Torque-controlled torque wrench
  • Impulse driver, switched off and controlled mechanically
  • Torque wrench with light and sound signal
  • Motorized torque wrench with dynamic torque measurement
  • Torque-controlled, gradual hydraulic tools
