Bolted joint slippage and implications
No, I don't think you can discount fastener loosening, because measuring residual torque with torque wrench (re-torque measurements) can be a very misleading test. It is very operator dependant and can lead to higher that actual results because the peak measured is due to overcoming static...- ArchetypeJoint

Bolted joint slippage and implications
If you are getting slip immediately at start-up it is likely to be torque-rate dependant (effect of pully inertia causes slipping at lower loads than iniitally predicted). If slippage occationally happens over time it is likely a case of loosening. Is the pully located by a precision fit over...- ArchetypeJoint
