Torque and Fastener Info

[JimT]

I and others have often asked "what torque" does x, y, or z require. While Quickserve is usually very helpful with this info, I've had a small handful of times where the information wasn't listed there. Also, getting the info from other manufacturers isn't always as easy (I'm looking at you PACCAR!).

Soooo, IN THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC VALUES for a given application, I've found the following charts to be extremely helpful:

Bolts - US - Recommended Torque

Bolts - Metric - Recommended Torque

Just pay close attention to the unit of measurement! (Ft-lb, In-lb, Nm)

Also, be mindful of the materials involved. Steel bolts into an aluminum housing will require different torques!

They also have some great charts free to download and print, along with plenty of other fastener related info.

Note: I am not affiliated with this site, but I have shopped there a few times with 100% positive results. Hopefully others find it helpful too.
