M10 is one of the standard coarse-thread sizes for equal-end stud bolt under GB/T 901 / DIN 939. The sections below reproduce the dimensional row, list the matching tools and hole sizes, and summarize where this size is normally specified.
M10 Dimensional Row (GB/T 901 / DIN 939)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Engagement depth bm (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.5 | 80 | 15 | Cl. 8.8 alloy steel | DIN 939 / GB/T 901 |
Spanner & Drive for M10 Equal-End Stud Bolt — GB/T 901 / DIN 939 (Series 093)
Drive geometry for M10 Equal-End Stud Bolt — GB/T 901 / DIN 939 (Series 093) is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
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 Equal-End Stud Bolt — GB/T 901 / DIN 939 (Series 093) Weight
A steel M10 equal-end stud bolt at the listed 80 mm length weighs approximately 49 g each — about 49 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 Equal-End Stud Bolt — GB/T 901 / DIN 939 (Series 093)
M10 Equal-End Stud Bolt — GB/T 901 / DIN 939 (Series 093) are commonly specified for general-purpose machinery, jigs, fixturing and light structural connections.
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.
