■ EUT

Bolts, nuts

■ Test conditions

(1) Vibration frequency: 30 Hz (1750 – 1800 cpm)
(2) Amplitude: 11.43 mmp-p (11.43 ± 0.381 mmp-p)
(3) Vibration frequency: 30000 cycles (approx. 17 minutes)
(4) The bolt and nut were fastened by attaching a collar and a washer in a slotted hole in the test fixture.
At this time, tighten with the specified torque.
Attach the test fixture with the bolt and nut fastened to the vibration table, and mark the bolt and nut.
