    Torque Coefficient

    Thanks for the tip and I plan to, but my boss wants theoretical numbers. He says we'll test later... He's not a fan of torque tests. He's worried about variations from the driver slipping in the screw head. Personally, I hate plugging numbers into non-imperical formulas and running with the...

    Torque Coefficient

    Thanks Cory. That helps a lot. The numbers I was getting seemed too low, but I couldn't find a good excuse to use a value higher than .22 or so. There's just not a lot of documentation out there. Thanks again, Shrike

    Torque Coefficient

    I am trying to estimate the torque that will cause the screw threads to strip out of an aluminum heat sink. I believe I have everything nailed down except for the Torque Coeffecient, K. The value can range from .09 to .35 or so, which makes a huge difference in the failure torque. Does anybody...
