Recommended torque for RBI set screws
by
Mike Mortensen - Director of Engineering RBI-USA
It is important that the set screw be tightened to a specified torque for RBI bearing inserts. If the set screw is not tightened enough, the bearing may loosen from the shaft. If the set screw is tightened too much, the bearing or shaft could be damaged. RBI uses a knurled cup point set screw for all of our bearing inserts.
Table 1 shows recommended tightening torques for several set screw sizes used in various bearing insert series that RBI offers. Be aware that different bearing manufacturers use different set screw types and sizes, requiring different tightening torques. Table 1 . Set screw usage and recommended tightening torque.
