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 Studs & Threaded Rods

M20 Studs & Threaded Rods are commonly specified for structural steelwork, heavy machinery foundations and large flange joints.

Installation Tips for M20 Studs & Threaded Rods

  • 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

For M20, pair with a M20 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M20 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the coarse-thread pitch of M20 for Studs & Threaded Rods?

For M20 the standard coarse pitch is 2.5 mm — this is the value used for Studs & Threaded Rods.

What torque do M20 class 8.8 Studs & Threaded Rods take?

A dry M20 class 8.8 joint takes about 410 Nm (≈ 580 Nm for 10.9, ≈ 690 Nm for 12.9). Confirm against your joint design; lubrication reduces these values.

What clearance and tapping drill suit M20?

Use a 22 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 17.5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M20 thread.

Should M20 Studs & Threaded Rods be tightened by torque or by angle?

For critical structural joints at M20, angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening is more repeatable than pure torque — the friction scatter at large diameters can dominate the torque signal.
