9780265865118: The Relation of Torque to Tension for Thread-Locking Devices (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Torque and tension in thread-locking devices are explored through measured tests to help you choose and use locking nuts and washers more reliably.

This report presents a focused study on how locking screw-thread devices behave under controlled forces. It describes the apparatus, the range of devices submitted by manufacturers, and the methods used to relate screwing torques to bolt tension. The work aims to provide practical curves and conclusions that can inform design, selection, and service use of thread-locking solutions.

  • Examines 41 devices, including regular nuts and commercial locking devices
  • Measures both screwing-on and screwing-off torques and bolt tensile stress
  • Compares results with Persy’s theory and discusses bearing conditions and surface effects
  • Highlights which devices maintain higher locking torque during continued unscrewing and under zero-load conditions
Ideal for readers of engineering standards, mechanical design, maintenance, and anyone evaluating thread-locking solutions for reliability.
