Selecting Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057), M10, in GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675: the dimensional row from the standard plus the tools and hole sizes follow. Use them with the technical drawing below — the drawing redraws to the exact size you pick.
M10 Dimensional Row (GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Nominal diameter d (mm) | Length L (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Width across corners e (mm) | Head height k (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.5 | 10 | 60 | 16.0 | 17.77 | 6.4 |
Spanner & Drive for M10 Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057)
M10 Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057) 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.
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.
Common Applications for M10 Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057)
M10 Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057) are commonly specified for general-purpose machinery, jigs, fixturing and light structural connections.
Installation Tips for M10 Hex Bolt — GB/T 6173 / ISO 8675 (Series 057)
- 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.
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.
