2.3.2.9 Torque needed for loosening

Torque Needed for Loosening defines the minimum amount of torque that must be applied in the reverse direction to successfully loosen the screw.

Here's how it works:

  • If this parameter is set, the user cannot simply rotate the screw backward to remove it.

  • A tool (like a torque wrench or drill) must apply at least the specified torque in reverse to initiate loosening.

  • This simulates real-world conditions where fasteners are tightened to a degree that requires force to undo — for example, screws with thread-lockers or those under tension.
