The M10 size of Flanged Button Head Socket Screws is dimensioned by Trade series (flanged button head). The tables below give the dimensional row from the standard, the drill and spanner sizes that go with it, and the assembly torque per property class. The technical drawing on this page redraws to the exact values selected.
M10 Dimensional Row (Trade series (flanged button head))
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Flange diameter dc (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Hex socket s (mm) | Bearing area vs plain button | Common length range (mm) | Property class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.5 | 22.0 | 5.50 | 6.0 | approx. 2.1x | 16~60 | 10.9 |
Spanner & Drive for M10 Flanged Button Head Socket Screws
The hex socket for M10 Flanged Button Head Socket Screws is shown in the spec table — use the matching Allen / hex key (an ISO 2936 hex key set covers the full range). Ball-end keys are for reaching the screw, not for tightening it — finish on the plain end, and on production work use a torque-controlled driver.
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) | ≈ 48 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 71 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
This is a reduced-height head. The head, not the thread, limits what the screw will carry — ISO 7380-1 caps a button head at roughly 80% of the thread's capacity — so the thread's proof load overstates the assembly. Size the joint on the head, or use a cap screw where the full class strength is needed.
M10 Flanged Button Head Socket Screws Weight
A steel M10 flanged button head socket screws at the listed 1,660 mm length weighs approximately 4,954 g each — about 4,954 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.
Installation Tips for M10 Flanged Button Head Socket Screws
- Use a quality Allen key fully seated in the socket — partial engagement is the most common cause of stripped sockets at this size.
- For countersunk and button-head variants, chamfer the through-hole to seat the head flush without preloading the head/shank fillet.
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.
