Are there torque tables for BMW fasteners and nuts?
There are standardized tables for recommended tightening torque for fasteners. The purpose of the tables as shown in the BMW Factory Service Manual is for those rare instances when there is no BMW specification elsewhere’s for torque for an item. It will be quite rare that you would have to consult those tables.
What are torque values for bolts and nuts?
In the DIN (German normal standards) system, bolts & nuts are assumed to be phosphate treated, no after-treatment, not galvanized. Separate or included in the same tables may be information if the steel parts are cadmium plated, or otherwise treated; ~30% less torque is recommended for cadmium plated parts.
What should I torque the front axle on a Harley Davidson?
Torque the axle nut to 60 to 65 foot-pounds, using a foot-pound torque wrench and socket. If you’re working on a Softail model, torque the slider cap nuts to 11 to 15 foot-pounds, and ensure that the gaps at the front and the rear of the sliders are equal.
What are the torque specifications for a wrench?
The two questions I am referring to are: what size socket do you use for (bolt, nut, part here), and what are the torque specifications for (bolt, nut, part here). The first question I want to ask back is: why are you working on your bike without a service manual?
Torque the axle nut to 60 to 65 foot-pounds, using a foot-pound torque wrench and socket. If you’re working on a Softail model, torque the slider cap nuts to 11 to 15 foot-pounds, and ensure that the gaps at the front and the rear of the sliders are equal.
What are the torque specifications for a park tool bicycle?
The bicycle has relatively light torque specifications (20-inch pound) to relatively heavy torque specifications (600 inch-pound). There is no single torque wrench accurate for this wide range. Consequently, Park Tool offers two different wrenches. Park Tool TW-1 and TW-2 torque wrenches are beam-type.
Can a cross threaded bolt be used with a torque wrench?
Any tool, even a torque wrench, should be used with common sense. A cross-threaded bolt will not properly tighten even with a torque wrench. The mechanic must be aware of the purpose of torque, and what torque and fastener preload are doing to the component joint.
What is the torque of a threaded fastener?
Torque for mechanics is simply a twisting or turning motion around the axis of the thread. This resistance can be correlated to, but is not a direct measurement of, fastener tension. Generally, the higher the rotational resistance, the greater tension in the threaded fastener.
