The M14 size of All-Metal Lock Nuts is dimensioned by ISO 7042 / DIN 980. The table below gives the dimensional row from the standard, followed by the drive and the installation notes for this type.
M14 Dimensional Row (ISO 7042 / DIN 980)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M14 | 2.0 | 21.0 | 15.0 | ISO 7042 / DIN 980 | Deformed-top locking, high-temperature capable |
Spanner & Drive for M14 All-Metal Lock Nuts
Drive geometry for M14 All-Metal Lock Nuts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Tightening Torque for M14
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 135 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 190 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 230 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 M14
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 115 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 67 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 95 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 112 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 92 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.
Common Applications for M14 All-Metal Lock Nuts
M14 All-Metal Lock Nuts are commonly specified for medium-duty structural joints and motor / chassis mounting.
Mating Parts for M14
Pair M14 with the matching M14 bolt or screw, plus a M14 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
