GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF TIGHTENING TORQUES
This table specifies the tightening torques for
ordinary fixings with standard ISO pitch thre-
ads. The characteristics of the tightening tor-
ques of special components or assemblies are
stated in the relevant sections of this manual.
To avoid any deformation, tighten the assem-
blies with several fixing points in a cross pat-
tern and in gradual stages, until the final tigh-
tening torque is reached. Unless specified
otherwise, the characteristics of the tightening
torque refer to clean dry threads. The compo-
nents must be at ambient temperature.
