Fastener is a type of spring.Ī fastener will take a certain amount of tensions (converted to torque which is a twisting force.). If its a sliding force joint and need more clamp, you go to higher grade fastener, larger or both. So the needed tension is up and down the threads. Happy to, its a shame there is not a basic mechanics class for people now, you learned that stuff growing up as second nature, if your dad did not work on that stuff someone close did and usually happy to show you the ropes.įirst a fastener works on clamping force. Can you explain what the plastic and elastic ranges are please?
