Q_Goest, Thank you!

One more thing, I have already looked at bearing stress, just was wondering about the allen socket itself after I heard they were "breaking" - just curious what torque caused them to break and what size allen socket was used?

Also assume non lubricated K=.2

3/4-10 ANSI B18.3 x 2-1/2 NON STD MATRL A-193 GR B7 105 ksi min Sy, 35 ksi Sm 7/8 in. hole Assume torque range 268-387 ftlb Assume 5/8 in. hex socket

Hi, Does anyone know the torque capability of a 5/8 in. allen socket for a 3/4 in. socket head B18.3 capscrew. The comment about allens snapping off made me wonder if this is published information. Thanks
