Calculating Pull Force Based on Bolt Torque
Hi all,
Let me start by saying I have looked at the bolt clamp force torque calculator found here:

Maybe I am just not understanding the concept or incorrectly applying it to the project at hand.
I am currently designing a pull tester to test and compare the strengths of various glues used here at work. I have to work with specific hardware and parts as the main concept was given to me to finish.

As you can see in the attached picture, backing out the bolt on the right hand side will pull the plate away from the rubber slug that is going to be used to test the adhesion qualities of the glue.
What I am trying to determine is the force at which the glue fails based on the torque applied to the bolt. It is quite possible I am overlooking something, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Matt
