M16 T-Slot Nuts is the m16-thread variant of T-Slot Nuts manufactured to DIN 508. This page focuses on the data engineers reach for at the bench: dimensional values for the M16 size, the spanner/drive that fits, and the assembly data you need to install it.
M16 Dimensional Row (DIN 508)
| Thread size | T-slot width (mm) | Nut width b (mm) | Total height h (mm) | Key height h1 (mm) | Hook width e (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M16 | 18 | 20.0 | 20.0 | 12.0 | 18.4 | DIN 508 / GN505 |

Common Applications for M16 T-Slot Nuts
M16 T-Slot Nuts are commonly specified for medium-duty structural joints and motor / chassis mounting.
Mating Parts for M16
Pair M16 with the matching M16 bolt or screw, plus a M16 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
When to Step Up or Down from M16
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M16 class 8.8, step up to M20 class 8.8 (or move to M16 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M12 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
