[Technical Information] Basic Knowledge of Understanding Looseness: What is Torque and Axial Force Management?

How to determine the necessary tightening torque to manage the appropriate axial force! Introducing a simple calculation formula.

When fixing the joined components, the types of fastening screws include bolts and nuts. Axial force refers to the force that pulls the bolt in the axial direction when the bolt is tightened, causing the bolt tightening area to stretch slightly. The reactive force that attempts to return to its original state during this process is the axial force. If the axial force is not within the appropriate range, it can lead to loosening or cause the joined components to break, making daily management of proper tightening torque and axial force crucial. Now, to determine the necessary tightening torque for managing the appropriate axial force, it can be calculated using a simple formula.
