The tightening torque is MA= head friction MK + thread torque MG. The thread torque consists of a proportion of thread friction and thread pitch (MG=MGfriction+MPitch. When loosening the screw, MP (thread pitch) acts in the opposite direction,
The loosening torque is thus

MA- = MK + MGfriction - MP

or

MA- = MA – 2 * MP.

(with MK + MGfriction = MA - MP)

MP(max) relates to the maximum clamping force FMzul at an alphamax angle of rotation. For alphamin, MPmin=MPmax/alphaA. The loosening torque is MA-,max = MA,max - 2*MPmax and MA-,min = MA,min - 2*MPmin.
If a tolerance is defined for the friction, there is a tolerance field for the tightening torque as well as for the loosening torque.

If there is a large friction tolerance and a small tightening torque tolerance, MA-,min can also be greater than MA-,max.

SR1+: Share of head friction, thread friction, thread pitch in the tightening torque
The share of head friction MK and thread torque MG in the tightening torque MA(max) have beeen added to the printout (MA=MK+MG).
The thread torque is made up of thread friction and thread pitch (MG=MP+MGfriction)

Overview of spline standards (www.hexagon.de/splines.htm)

Since there is always a question as to which software is suitable for which standard, an overview has been created. If there is no special software for the standard you are looking for, you can at least calculate the tooth profile with WNXE for involute tooth flanks or WNXK for serrations with straight tooth flanks (or ZARXP for gears). With WNXE, WNXK and ZARXP, however, you first have to look up the most important dimensions in the standard, while with the other programs you simply select the size and tolerance zone.

ZAR3+: Center distance "a rk"

The distance between the center of the wheel and the fillet radius is now dimensioned in the production drawing
