Cylinder Connecting Sleeve (GB/T 5783 / ISO 4017) are specified where the joint requires a range of mechanical fastening duties. The sections below cover the typical end-uses by industry, the size and material decisions for each, assembly practice, and the applications this fastener type is not suited to. Stocked across roughly M1 to M8, they cover general to heavy-duty work.
Typical Applications for Cylinder Connecting Sleeve — GB/T 5783 / ISO 4017 (Series 013)
The most common settings where these are specified:
- General machine building: fastening covers, brackets, motors and sub-assemblies on production equipment.
- Maintenance & repair (MRO): a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
- Fabrication & metalwork: bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.
How to Specify Cylinder Connecting Sleeve — GB/T 5783 / ISO 4017 (Series 013) for Your Application
- Size: Match the nominal size to the mating thread or hole. This product spans M1–M8; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
- Material: Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
- Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- Standard: This product is supplied to GB/T 5783 / ISO 4017. Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.
Where Cylinder Connecting Sleeve — GB/T 5783 / ISO 4017 (Series 013) Are Not the Right Choice
