Do not attempt to prevent any unwanted body rotation by overtightening the retaining nut,
since this can cause thread damage, distortion, change of electrical resistance and restrict shaft
rotation. BS9130:1972 provides further details on this topic. The recommended torque for
tightening the retaining nut is 45cN.m and this can be achieved cost effectively by using a
Torque Limiting device as shown on our Accessories page.
