Tightening torquese
P and DG screws are fitted in plastic and light alloy metal parts. These screws form a permanent thread when
they are installed for the first time. The material is permanently deformed. Screws can be removed and installed
as often as necessary without impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, provided that the specified
tightening torque is observed.
For this reason
it is essential to use a torque wrench.
When inserting DG and P screws into an existing screw thread:
Insert the DG or P screw in the hole and turn counterclockwise until it gently drops into the hole in axial direction
and engages the existing threads. Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread
and weaken the assembly.
For the microencapsulated screw, before renewed assembly, clean both threads (insert tap in the internal thread
by hand and then blow out the threaded hole, brush off the exterior thread), coat the cleaned screw with
medium-strength Loctite 242 or 243.
Screwdriver speed when used in plastic material: P and DG screws max. 500 rpm.
Do not use an impact wrench to release or tighten screw connections.
Screws with and without locking serration must not be confused.
