Bolt & Thread Master v2.1

VDI 2230 single-bolt preload, stress and thread-engagement check

Bolt Definition DIN 912 · M8

DIN 912 socket-head cap screw geometry — also valid for DIN 933, ISO 4017 and ISO 4762. Nominal diameter 8 mm is looked up automatically.
Override:
Thread length defaults to the standard ISO 4762 value for the chosen length; minimum wrench inaccuracy is 3% per ISO 6789.
Optional bolt material overrides
Leave blank to use the material database value shown in green.

Clamped Joint

Length bolt crosses shear interface. Activates bending stress check on slip.
Free bolt length between supports (slotted/clearance hole). Used with radial clearance for beam-bending limit.
Optional clamped-part material overrides
Leave blank to use the material database value shown in green.
Optional threaded-part material overrides
Leave blank to use the material database value shown in green.

Loads & Bolt Count

'Bolt Pattern Loads' can be used to determine the loads here. “Critical bolt” values drive the single-bolt check, “total” values drive the whole-pattern clamping check.

Friction Coefficients VDI 2230 friction classes

Enter the min/max range for each friction pair. μK = under-head, μG = thread, μC = between clamped & threaded part (drives required clamping force and bending).
