I am trying to figure out what the max torque will be on the nut when I thread the bolt in. Theoretically, the nut won't see any torque until the bolt and nut seat against the faces of the plate, at which point the friction should absorb some of the torque.
I am designing a pnuematic clamp device to hold a nut while a bolt is threaded through a plate and into the nut. How do I calculate the torque on the nut to properly design the clamp mechanism. I am using a M10 X 1.0 bolt and nut.
