Spanner & Drive for M10 Thin Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 056)
M10 Thin Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 056) have a width across flats of 16.0 mm — fit a 16.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. Use a 6-point socket for tight clearances and to reduce rounding; for repeated assembly choose a torque wrench so the joint preload is repeatable.
Common Applications for M10 Thin Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 056)
M10 Thin Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 056) are commonly specified for general-purpose joints in machinery, fixturing and equipment frames.
Installation Tips for M10 Thin Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 056)
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- On flanged or serrated variants, do NOT add a separate flat washer — the flange already spreads the load and the washer can defeat the locking serrations.
Mating Parts for M10
Pair M10 with the matching M10 bolt or screw, plus a M10 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
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.
