Guides en matière de couple

Utilisez nos recommandations pour obtenir une indication des valeurs de couple et de précharge, pour n'importe quelle taille de vis M3 - M42, en utilisant des rondelles Nord-Lock®, et différents types de lubrification. Veuillez noter que les valeurs de frottement varient en fonction du revêtement et du lubrifiant.

Questions fréquemment posées

Comment calculez-vous en utilisant la formule Kellerman&Klein?

Nord-Lock utilise la formule Kellerman & Klein pour calculer la relation entre le couple et la précharge. Elle utilise les valeurs moyennes des coefficients de frottement. Nord-Lock a ajouté un rapport de serrage à la formule Kellerman & Klein. Ce ratio est basé sur notre longue expérience en matière de sécurisation des assemblages boulonnés et doit être considéré comme une marge de sécurité. Il est fixé de manière à minimiser le risque d'étirement excessif de la vis tout en s'assurant que la charge de serrage est suffisante pour obtenir un effet de came.

Formule : T0=F0×(0,159×P+0,583×d2×μT+rm×μH) [Nm]

Qu'est-ce que le rapport de serrage, GF?

Lors d'un serrage conforme aux directives et sans déviation, il s'agit de la précontrainte obtenue exprimée en % de la limite d'élasticité. Dans cette application, le rapport de serrage peut être réglé entre 0 et 100 %. Une charge de serrage trop faible peut entraîner un glissement ou une séparation des pièces. Une charge de serrage trop élevée peut entraîner une déformation des pièces ou un étirement excessif des vis. La torsion, la variation du frottement, la dispersion de l'outil de serrage et les niveaux de contrainte de traction maximum acceptables doivent être pris en compte lors du choix du rapport de serrage.

 

Comment calcule-t-on avec la norme VDI 2230?

La norme VDI 2230 utilise la même formule de Kellerman&Klein, mais elle utilise des valeurs minimales pour les coefficients de frottement et calcule un couple correspondant à une charge de serrage utilisant 90 % de la limite d'élasticité du boulon. Le calcul tient compte des contraintes de traction et de torsion. Le calcul ne prend pas en compte les déviations pendant le serrage.

Which calculation standard should I use?

If you do not know which one to use, we recommend you to use Kellerman&Klein. These guidelines have been used successfully in more than 35 years and are working well together with our washers. VDI2230 becomes more and more common in the world but has been used in some European countries for a long time. If you feel insecure, you can always contact us for a deeper analysis.

 

What friction values have you used when choosing oil?

If you save the calculation you will see a summary and then it is written what values we have used in the calculation. If you do not think they are representative of your bolted connection. Make another calculation and choose custom, to fill in your own values.

 

What is the tool accuracy?

No matter what tightening tool you are using, there will always be a scatter. Tool accuracy for common tools, according to NF E 25030-1:

Digital torque wrench: ± 10%

Electronic gun with reaction arm: ± 10%

Pneumatic tool with auto air-stop: ± 20%

Calibrated torque wrench: ± 15%

Impact wrench: ±50%

What thread pitch have you been using?

When you save the calculation you will see what thread pitch has been used.
