Tightening Torque for M20
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 410 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 580 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 690 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.
Common Applications for M20 Stud Bolt, Double-End — GB/T 15389 / DIN 938 (Series 092)
M20 Stud Bolt, Double-End — GB/T 15389 / DIN 938 (Series 092) are commonly specified for structural steelwork, heavy machinery foundations and large flange joints.
Installation Tips for M20 Stud Bolt, Double-End — GB/T 15389 / DIN 938 (Series 092)
- At M20 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.
When to Step Up or Down from M20
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M20 class 8.8, step up to M24 class 8.8 (or move to M20 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M16 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
