Frequently Asked Questions

What grip range is typical for M18 structural bolts?

Grip ranges are highly application-dependent at M18. As a guide, choose a length that gives at least 1× the thread diameter engagement in the nut plus 2–3 thread pitches projecting.

Which washer dimensions matter most for M18?

For a flat washer, the outside diameter (the bearing surface) and the thickness control how the load is spread under the head and how much elastic preload is preserved. The inside diameter must clear the bolt body but not be so large that the head bears mostly on the washer's outer rim.

What is the coarse-thread pitch of M18 for Wedge / Taper Washer — GB/T 852 (Series 084)?

For M18 the standard coarse pitch is 2.5 mm — this is the value used for Wedge / Taper Washer — GB/T 852 (Series 084).

What clearance and tapping drill suit M18?

Use a 20 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 15.5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M18 thread.
