Hexagon Head Bolts: Dimensions and Specifications
This document provides detailed dimensional specifications for hexagon head bolts across a wide range of metric thread sizes, from M1.6 to M160. The data presented is crucial for engineers, manufacturers, and procurement specialists to ensure correct selection and application of these fasteners.
General Information
The diagrams illustrate key dimensions of hexagon head bolts, including:
- d: Nominal thread diameter
- L: Length of the bolt
- b: Length of thread
- k: Height of the hexagon head
- s: Width across flats of the hexagon head
- e: Width across corners of the hexagon head
- ds: Diameter of the shank
- dw: Diameter of the bearing face
- c: Underside of head to start of thread
- r: Radius at the underside of the head
- k1: Height of the hexagon head minus chamfer
- da: Diameter of the bearing face
- P: Thread Pitch
Note on Point: The point shall be chamfered, or for threads ≤ M4, it may be as-rolled (sheared end).
Dimensional Tables
The following tables detail the specified dimensions for various thread sizes. Dimensions are provided in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise stated. Grade A and Grade B specifications are included where applicable, particularly for shank diameter (ds) and head height (k).
