Standard Assembly Torques For
12-Point, Grade 9, Capscrews (SAE)
The following specifications appy to required assembly
torques for all 12-Point, Grade 9 (170,000 psi minimum
tensile), Capscrews.
• Capscrew threads and seats SHALL be lubricated
when assembled.
Unless instructions specifically recommend oth-
erwise, these standard torque values are to be
used with simple lithium base chassis grease
(multi-purpose EP NLGI) or a rust- preventive
grease (see list, this page) on the threads.
• Torques are calculated to give a clamping force of
approximately 75% of proof load.
• The maximum torque tolerance shall be ±10% of
the torque value shown.

Standard Metric Assembly Torque For
Class 10.9 Capscrews & Class 10 Nuts
The following specifications appy to required assembly
torques for all meteric Class 10.9 finished hexagon
head capscrews and Class 10 nuts.
• Capscrews threads and seats SHALL NOT be
lubricated when assembled. These specifications
are based on all capscrews, nuts, and hardened
washers being
phosphate and oil
coated.
NOTE: If zinc-plated hardware is used, each
piece must be lubricated with a Rust Preventive
Grease or Lithium-base grease to achieve the
same clamping forces provided below.
• Torques are calculated to give a clamping force of
approximately 75% of proof load.
• The maximum torque tolerance shall be within
±10% of the torque value shown.
