The results are from an unpublished draft from Michael Katzler, who writes his thesis on this.
The "official" torque is 9 Nm. As I posted before until now I could not find the reason for this low torque, which - according to material values - should be about 15 Nm.
This is how tested it:
The difference between not greased and greased screws is significant:
The slipping force is less than half if you do not grease.
I tested with different torque:9 Nm, 15 Nm, 18 Nm.
It is obvious: The higher the torque the higher the slipping force.
But: How high can it be?
According to the standard the material must be minimum quality 5.8.
If you apply a torque of 35 Nm you may destroy the screw. Using 40 Nm you destroy it for sure.
Using a torque of 18 Nm is about half of the breaking load which is below the elastic limit.
Here is the comparison between greased and not greased, and different torque
9 Nm, 15 Nm, 18 Nm.
Here are the numbers:
Conclusion:
It is important to apply grease before using cable clamps, and if not, have a higher torque.
The best results are applying 18 Nm and apply grease.
