M20 Lifting Eye Nuts is the m20-thread variant of Lifting Eye Nuts manufactured to DIN 582. This page focuses on the data engineers reach for at the bench: dimensional values for the M20 size, the spanner/drive that fits, and the assembly data you need to install it.
M20 Dimensional Row (DIN 582)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Ring inside diameter d (mm) | Ring outside diameter (mm) | Total height (mm) | Max load vertical (kg) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M20 | 2.5 | 56 | 99 | 99 | 1200 | DIN 582 / WLL | Drop-forged lifting eye nut, vertical pull |

Common Applications for M20 Lifting Eye Nuts
M20 Lifting Eye Nuts are commonly specified for structural joints, flange connections and heavy equipment foundations.
Installation Tips for M20 Lifting Eye Nuts
- 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.
Mating Parts for M20
Pair M20 with the matching M20 bolt or screw, plus a M20 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
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.
