I have a manual puller with one rod 5/8-11(UNC).

If I apply with a torque wrench 150lbs on this rod, what is a capacity for this puller ?

Does a pression is 1 TON, 1/2TON or over ?

Thanks

Using T=cDF 150ft-lbs of torque on a 5/8s bolt would apply approximately 14,400 lbf of a clamping force if dry threads, and closer to 18,000 lbf if the threads are oiled. So at 150 ft-lbs you are looking at anywhere from 7-9 tons of pulling force.

The big question is what is the material of the threaded rod? grade 2/5/8?

if you put 150 ftlb (1800 inlb)

then T=kFd k=.18 for steel on steel lubricated
1800 = .18*F*.625
F = 16,000 lb of tension

If the rod was grade 5 and everthing else could handle the force

T = .18 * 53125 *.625
T = 5976 inlb (498 ftlb)

I heard that a rod NC (National Coarse) give a different force from a NF (National Fine) thread !

Is it true ?

Yes and no, in a perfect world a fine thread pitch would give a higher clamping force than a coarse thread, but in real life 90% of your input torque is lost to friction, leaving only 10% of it to apply this clamping force, so the differences between coarse and fine threads become negligible. Of course the formulas Spy604 and I used are just approximations. The truth is that there are so many variables that can affect the outcome such as fine/coarse threads, oiled vs dry threads, a nick or dent in a thread, temperature, etc. that can affect the outcome. So say the 10% of additional force you gain by using a fine thread, is reduced by the only 10% of force actually being applied due to frictional losses, so it becomes 1% and at that point it is pretty much negligible considering all of the other variables that can have an effect. Hence, why I gave a range of potential clamping loads above rather than a single correct value.

So to answer your question, not really.
