Tightening torque estimate

Target preload is 75% of proof load; torque is estimated from T = K · F · d.

Grade / classStress areaPreloadTorque

These figures assume a nut factor of K = 0.20 (dry / as-received steel). K captures thread and head friction and can swing torque by 30% or more — a lubricated joint needs noticeably less. Change the lubrication assumption in the bolt-torque calculator.

What tap drill do I need for M39 × 4.0?

For a M39 × 4.0 thread, drill the hole with a 35 mm tap drill (35 mm — the standard D − P rule) before tapping. That produces roughly 77% thread engagement, the usual target for a strong, tappable hole. The mating bolt has a major diameter of 39 mm and a pitch of 4 mm (6.35 TPI).

To pass a M39 × 4.0 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 40 · Normal 42 · Loose 45 mm.

All values are generated from the standard thread formulas (ISO 68-1 / ASME B1.1) and published standard tables — not hand-entered. See the full reference.
