E16 (ECO) BASIC DIMENSIONS
E16 (ECO) BUSH HOUSING
The E16 (ECO) bush housing is made of glass filled nylon, the thread is M10 x0.75mm pitch and 8mm long.
Do not attempt to prevent any unwanted body rotation by overtightening the retaining nut, since this can cause thread damage, distortion, change of electrical resistance and restrict shaft rotation.
BS9130:1972 provides further details on this topic.
The recommended torque for tightening the retaining nut is 45cNm and this can be achieved cost effectively by using a Torque Limiting device as shown on our Accessories page.
