The Experts - the Relation Between Torque, Preload and Friction

In this video, Damien Thomas, Technical Manager at Nord-Lock Group, explains how torque, preload and friction interact.

"The break down of torque shows that only 10% of the input torque is useful. All the rest is dissipated by friction. By applying a low friction lubricant, the effect of friction will be greatly reduced," Damien Thomas says.

The Experts is a series of videos in which Nord-Lock Group shares knowledge about bolted connections and how to solve bolting challenges.
