Table 2. Locknut Breakaway Torque Values
NOTE
To determine breakaway torque, thread locknut onto screw or bolt until at least two
threads stick out. Locknut shall not make contact with a mating part. Stop the locknut.
Torque necessary to begin turning locknut again is the breakaway torque. Do not reuse locknuts
that do not meet minimum breakaway torque.
