BT30 Retention Knob Torque Adapter
BT30 Retention Knob Torque Adapter.
There is a lot of debate around the torque value for retention knobs. I run 15 ft-lbs on my BT30 holders and have had no issues. Some manufacturers recommend up to 35 ft-lbs. For this reason, I'll let you choose what torque value you'd like ot have engraved on your torque adapter at no additional cost.
Made from 1/4" thick AR500 steel.
3/8" Drive.
When installed 90 degrees to the torque wrench, no adjustment to the torque setting is required. If the adapter is installed in a way that lengthens or shortens the effective length of the torque wrench, you must calculate a corrected torque setting. The torque adapter length is 1 inch from the center of the square drive to the center of the knob.
Here's a link to a website with instructions on how to calculate a corrected torque setting for your wrench: Link
*May require a 3/8 drive extension for torque wrenches with heads larger than 1.375" diameter.
