with:
V : Safety factor (2 for Worst Case)
n : Number of bolts (8 per pad)
f : Friction coefficient (0.3)
With the results from Figure 4-5 it follows that each tie rod shall be torqued to a pre-load of
F pre_load = 121401 N.
The torque of the bolts shall be checked regularly to guarantee the required pre-load.
