M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw (GB/T 67 / ISO 1580) are specified by thread size, length and head dimensions. The M10 row from the standard is reproduced below, followed by the drill sizes, spanner size and torque values used when installing this size.
M10 Dimensional Row (GB/T 67 / ISO 1580)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Cross recess | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.5 | 60 | 20.0 | 6.0 | PH4 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
Spanner & Drive for M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw — GB/T 67 / ISO 1580 (Series 040)
M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw — GB/T 67 / ISO 1580 (Series 040) use a PH4 cross recess. Match the driver bit to the recess (Phillips PH / Pozi PZ are NOT interchangeable).
Hole Sizes for M10
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 1.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 11 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 8.5 mm |
Tightening Torque for M10
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 49 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 69 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 83 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M10
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 58 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 34 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 48 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 56 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 46 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw — GB/T 67 / ISO 1580 (Series 040) Weight
A steel M10 slotted pan head screw at the listed 60 mm length weighs approximately 148 g each — about 148 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³). Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Common Applications for M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw — GB/T 67 / ISO 1580 (Series 040)
M10 Slotted Pan Head Screw — GB/T 67 / ISO 1580 (Series 040) are commonly specified for machine assembly, general engineering, plant maintenance and OEM equipment.
Mating Parts for M10
For M10, pair with a M10 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M10 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
When to Step Up or Down from M10
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M10 class 8.8, step up to M12 class 8.8 (or move to M10 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M8 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
