This page covers M20 T-Slot Bolts (DIN 787) to DIN 787: the full dimensional row, hole and tool sizes, proof-load data and typical applications. All values are taken from the governing standards (DIN 787 together with ISO 273, ISO 724 and ISO 898-1 where applicable).
M20 Dimensional Row (DIN 787)
| Thread size | For slot width (mm) | T-head width (mm) | T-head height (mm) | Nominal diameter d (mm) | Common length range (mm) | Property class | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M20 | 22 | 34 | 18 | 20 | 80~250 | 10.9 | DIN 787 |
Spanner & Drive for M20 T-Slot Bolts (DIN 787)
Drive geometry for M20 T-Slot Bolts (DIN 787) is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M20
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 2.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 22 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 17.5 mm |
Tightening Torque for M20
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 420 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 598 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 700 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.
Proof Load & Strength for M20
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 245 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 147 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 203 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 237 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 203 kN |
Proof load = tensile stress area × the proof stress Sp of the class, per ISO 898-1 — Sp is a lower figure than the yield stress Rp0.2 and the two are not interchangeable. The stress area is computed from this size's own diameter and pitch, so a fine-pitch designation gives the fine-pitch figure. Design the joint so the working preload stays below the proof load of the class selected.
M20 T-Slot Bolts (DIN 787) Weight
A steel M20 t-slot bolts (din 787) at the listed 80,250 mm length weighs approximately 197,909 g each — about 197,909 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³).
Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Installation Tips for M20 T-Slot Bolts (DIN 787)
- 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.
