Spanner & Drive for M24 Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052)
M24 Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052) have a width across flats of 36.0 mm — fit a 36.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. Use a 6-point socket for tight clearances and to reduce rounding; for repeated assembly choose a torque wrench so the joint preload is repeatable.
Common Applications for M24 Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052)
M24 Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052) are commonly specified for structural joints, flange connections and heavy equipment foundations.
Installation Tips for M24 Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052)
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- On flanged or serrated variants, do NOT add a separate flat washer — the flange already spreads the load and the washer can defeat the locking serrations.
- At M24 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 M24
Pair M24 with the matching M24 bolt or screw, plus a M24 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
