M10 U-Bolts is the m10-thread variant of U-Bolts manufactured to Industry standard. This page focuses on the data engineers reach for at the bench: dimensional values for the M10 size, the spanner/drive that fits, and the assembly data you need to install it.
M10 Dimensional Row (Industry standard)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Inside width A (mm) | Inside height / leg length B (mm) | Pipe size ref | Thread length (mm) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.5 | 49 | 110 | 1-1/2 in | 35 | Industry standard | Round-bend U-bolt with 2 nuts |
Spanner & Drive for M10 U-Bolts
Drive geometry for M10 U-Bolts 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.
Common Applications for M10 U-Bolts
M10 U-Bolts 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.
