The M12 size of Fitted (Reamer) Bolts, DIN 609 is dimensioned by DIN 609. 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.
M12 Dimensional Row (DIN 609)
| Thread size | Shank diameter ds k6 (mm) | Reamed hole H7 (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Common length range (mm) | Property class | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M12 | 13 | 13 | 19 | 7.5 | 40~120 | 8.8 | DIN 609 |
Spanner & Drive for M12 Fitted (Reamer) Bolts, DIN 609
Drive geometry for M12 Fitted (Reamer) Bolts, DIN 609 is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M12
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 1.75 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 13.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 10.25 mm |
Tightening Torque for M12
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 84 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 124 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 145 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 M12
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 84.3 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 49 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 70 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 82 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 67 kN |
Proof load = tensile stress area × the proof stress Sp of the class, per ISO 898-1 — Sp is a lower figure than the yield stress Rp0.2 and the two are not interchangeable. The stress area is computed from this size's own diameter and pitch, so a fine-pitch designation gives the fine-pitch figure. Design the joint so the working preload stays below the proof load of the class selected.
M12 Fitted (Reamer) Bolts, DIN 609 Weight
A steel M12 fitted (reamer) bolts, din 609 at the listed 40,120 mm length weighs approximately 41,821 g each — about 41,821 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.
Mating Parts for M12
For M12, pair with a M12 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M12 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
When to Step Up or Down from M12
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M12 class 8.8, step up to M16 class 8.8 (or move to M12 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M10 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
