Mating Parts for M12
Pair M12 with the matching M12 bolt or screw, plus a M12 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
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.
