Hi guys,  

I want to know if somebody have a short chart list of torque force to apply to Steel Cadium plate bolt : AN3, AN4, AN5 and AN6 for general purpose. Thanks again.  

Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to all builders.

Christian,



Try this link and open chapter 07.pdf.  Everything you ever wanted to know 

about bolts and more.

Or do a search of AC 43.13-1B

Merry Christmas every one.

Herb

Christian,



I got these values from Caleb at ZAC:



A3 - 20-25 in-lb

A4 - 50-70 in-lb

A5 - 100-140 in-lb

A6 - 150-190 in-lb



Merry Christmas! - Jay in Dallas

How much additional torque is needed for the self locking fasteners?

John,  I relayed the torque values I got from ZAC to the list.  It is my understanding that the high end of the range is sufficient for the nylock nuts.  After tightening a few of the AN-3 nuts with a torque wrench, I was surprised at how little force is needed.  Certainly less that I would have applied just by "feel."

You use  a special torque wrench called a torque meter to find the resistance to the  locking nuts.  When this resistance is added to the required torque value  you have "Friction Torque".  Friction torque should only be used when it is  required and should always be noted... after all it is a little  different.

This is not strange.  Most of us get used to tightening up nuts and bolts on

out old jalopys (yeah right!) but the ANC mil spec nuts and bolts are

considerably finer pitch thread.  That is why they require inch pounds

instead of foot pounds of torque.

Hi Jay:

             Thanks  for the reply. I used the high end of the torque values. I could not measure the  drag torque with anything I had.

  

 Regards, John Read

Your welcome.  I wanted to share this information, because I found it so hard to come by. I first looked in the DOT/FAA manual for torque values, but unless you know the tensile strength of the bolts, you just can't determine what torque to apply.  That is why I went to ZAC for the values. Nick just gave me the run-around, so I asked Caleb, directly. As usual, he came through with a succinct answer.
