TURNING TORQUE MEASUREMENT
1. Measure turning torque at 360° position.

b. Turn stub shaft all the way to right and left several times.





c. Measure turning torque at 360° position from straight-ahead position with Tools.
Turning torque at 360°:

Turning torque at straight-ahead position: 0.45 - 3.88 Nm (4.6 - 8.2 kg-cm, 4.0 - 7.1 inch lbs.) higher than turning torque at 360°
Maximum turning torque: 1.7 Nm (17.8 kg-cm, 15.0 inch lbs.)
