This SAE Information Report is provided as an advisory guide and is not intended to be made a procurement requirement. Individual application discretion is recommended. The content has been presented as accurately as possible, but responsibility for its application lies with the user. The document covers a number of the variables in the torque-tension relationship: friction, materials, temperature, humidity, fastener and mating part finishes, surfaces, and the kind of tightening tools or equipment used. With an understanding of the variables to be considered, several methods to determine and tighten fasteners using the torque-tension relationship are identified. This guide is limited in application to fasteners with ISO-metric or UN series threads. Other thread types, such as self-tapping or thread forming, may apply to some aspects of this standard but are not specifically covered. The procedures described in this document are based on general factors for the determination of the
This SAE Recommended Practice defines a clearance line for establishing dimensional compatibility between drum brakes and wheels with 19.5-inch, 22.5-inch, and 24.5-inch diameter rims. Wheels designed for use with drum brakes may not be suitable for disc brake applications. The lines provided establish the maximum envelope for brakes, including all clearances, and minimum envelope for complete wheels to allow for interchangeability. This document addresses the dimensional characteristics only and makes no reference to the performance, operational dynamic deflections, or heat dissipation of the system. Valve clearances have not been included in the fitment lines. Bent valves may be required to clear brake drums. Disc brake applications may require additional running clearances beyond those provided by the minimum contour lines. Mounting systems as noted are referenced in SAE J694.
This paper presents an analytical approach for identifying suspension kingpin alignment parameters based on screw axis theorem and differential calculation model. The suspension kingpin caster and inclination alignment parameters can produce additional tire force, which affects vehicle handling dynamics. In wheel steering process, the multi-link suspension control arms lead to movement of the imaginary kingpin, which can cause change in suspension kingpin alignment parameters. According to the structure mechanism of commercial vehicle multi-link independent suspension, the kinematics characteristics of imaginary kingpin were analyzed based on the screw axis theorem. The angular velocity and translation velocity vectors were calculated. In order to avoid the influence of bushing deformation, the unique differential identification model was established to evaluate the suspension kingpin alignment parameters, and the identification results were compared with the ADAMS/Car data. The
Biomedical metal implant materials are widely used in clinical applications, including dental implants, hip replacement, bone plates, and screws. However, traditional manufacturing processes face limitations in meeting customized medical needs, internal structural control, and efficient material utilization. For example, when producing complex-shaped titanium alloy parts using conventional methods, the material consumption ratio is as high as 10:1–20:1, leading to significant material waste.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides the recommended procedure for obtaining desired preloads in aircraft wheel tie bolts when mounting tires and assembling the wheel. It is generally referred to as the snug-angle bolted joint assembly procedure. It is also known as the “torque-turn” procedure in the heavy equipment ground vehicle industry.
At present, electric head restraints have been developed locally, so overseas mechanisms are used. In this study, two concept mechanisms were developed, and in addition, one patent for a wing-out head restraint mechanism was additionally applied. The new mechanism has had an excellent effect on cost reduction and improvement of operating noise compared to the current one.
This specification establishes the requirements for the following types of self-locking nuts in thread diameter sizes 0.1380 through 0.6250 inch: a Wrenching Nuts: i.e., hexagon, double hexagon, and spline nuts. b Anchor Nuts: i.e., plate nuts, gang channel nuts, and shank nuts. The wrenching nuts, shank nuts, and nut elements of plate and gang channel nuts are made of a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel-base alloy of the type identified under the Unified Numbering System as UNS N07001 and of 180000 psi axial tensile strength at room temperature, with maximum conditioning of parts at 1400 °F prior to room temperature testing.
This specification covers metric aircraft quality spacers for use as positioners for tubes, flat washers for use as load spreaders, galling protection of adjacent surfaces and or material compatibility, and key or tab washers for use as locks for bolts, nuts, and screws.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice establishes the requirements and procedures for eddy current inspection of open fastener holes in aluminum aircraft structures.
This procurement specification covers aircraft-quality solid rivets and tubular end rivets made from a corrosion-resistant steel of the type identified under the Unified Numbering System as UNS S34700.
This specification covers closely-wound helical coil, screw thread inserts made from an age hardenable nickel base alloy formed wire of the type identified under the Unified Numbering System as UNS N07750. The inner surface of the insert coil, after assembly into a screw thread tapped hole, provides internal threads of standard 60° Unified Form.

Imagine a portable 3D printer you could hold in the palm of your hand. The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation.
Conventional drug delivery is often like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. Whether the drug is swallowed, injected, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, it ultimately diffuses to most parts of the body, including those where it isn’t needed — or where it even might cause harm.
