Dimensional and assembly data for M14 Carriage Bolts to DIN 603. Includes head size and width across flats, clearance-hole and tapping-drill diameters, tightening torque per property class, and the sizes to step up or down to when the joint requires it.
M14 Dimensional Row (DIN 603)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Square neck width (mm) | Square neck depth (mm) | Common length range (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M14 | 2.0 | 35.0 | 8.0 | 14.0 | 7.0 | 40~260 | DIN 603 / ISO 8677 |

Hole Sizes for M14
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 2 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 15.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 12 mm |
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.
M14 Carriage Bolts Weight
A steel M14 carriage bolts at the listed 40,260 mm length weighs approximately 304,067 g each — about 304,067 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.
Common Applications for M14 Carriage Bolts
M14 Carriage Bolts are commonly specified for medium-duty structural connections, automotive sub-frames and equipment chassis.
Mating Parts for M14
For M14, pair with a M14 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M14 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
