Variables Used

Maximum Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Maximum torque means the highest value of the net torque measured at full engine load.
Diameter of Bolt - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Bolt is the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
Number of Bolts - Number of Bolts is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration.
Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material is the value obtained from coupling material experimental data. In addition, the value is slightly different for each material.
Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts (PCD) is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs, wheel bolts or wheel rim holes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Bolt: 21 Millimeter --> 0.021 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Bolts: 3 --> No Conversion Required
Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material: 6 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 6000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_m = (pi/4)*(d_b^2)*n*f_sb*(D₁/2) --> (pi/4)*(0.021^2)*3*6000000*(0.2/2)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Bolt?

A bolt is a mechanical fastener with a threaded shaft. Bolts are closely related to screws, which are also mechanical fasteners with threaded shafts. These types of fasteners are typically inserted through two parts, with aligned holes.The term bolt is usually used for a fastener which has only part of its shaft threaded. Fasteners with their entire shaft threaded are normally called screws. The unthreaded part of a bolts shaft is called the shank.

How to Calculate Maximum Torque for Shear Failure of Bolt?

Maximum Torque for Shear Failure of Bolt calculator uses Maximum Torque = (pi/4)*(Diameter of Bolt^2)*Number of Bolts*Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material*(Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts/2) to calculate the Maximum Torque, Maximum Torque for Shear Failure of Bolt is defined as when shear stress supersedes shear strength, which is around half the tensile strength. But there are many things that can cause the shear failure of a bolt. Even simple fastening components (like bolts) can fail. Maximum Torque is denoted by T_m symbol.
