How to increase clamping force in a Turnlock Assembly?

In the MTH and HGR series, there exist adjustable receptacles.

These are the part numbers:                                                                                 

MTH-series:                                                                                               

MTHRA24S                                                       MTHRA24LWS                      

MTHRTFA24S                                                   MTHRTFABS                                              

MTHRTA16A                                                     MTHRTA16S                                                 

HGR-series:                                                                                

HGRRA33A                                                         HGRRAC33A                             

HGRRA33S                                                        HGRRAC33S

HGRRTA20A                                                      HGRRTA20S

HGRRTA32S                                                      HGRRTAEN20S

HGRRTAEN32S                                                                                     

The advantage with this receptacle is that you can put a higher pre-load on the fastener.

So dependant on the way you install it, you will have a different load/clamping force.

The Tension load though is the same.

This is when you pass the clamping force, the system compresses further and then you will hit a working load of 700N and a tensile strength of 1000N for stainless steel in the case of the MTH series.
