M24 Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, Grade C are manufactured to ISO 4018 with a coarse thread pitch of 3 mm. This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M24 size — head geometry, width across flats, matching spanner size — together with the clearance hole, tapping drill and tightening torque used at assembly.
M24 Dimensional Row (ISO 4018)
| Size | Pitch P (mm) | a_max (mm) | a_min (mm) | c_max (mm) | d_a_max (mm) | d_w_min (mm) | Width across corners e (mm) | Head height k (mm) | k_max (mm) | k_min (mm) | k_w_min (mm) | r_min (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | s_min (mm) | Length range l (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M24 | 3 | 9 | 3 | 0.8 | 28.4 | 33.25 | 39.55 | 15 | 15.9 | 14.1 | 9.87 | 0.8 | 36 | 35 | 50~240 | ISO 4018 |
Spanner & Drive for M24 Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, Grade C
M24 Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, Grade C have a width across flats of 36 mm — fit a 36 mm open-ended spanner or socket. A 6-point socket grips all six flats of the 36 mm hex and is what to reach for once a fastener has been on and off a few times; a 12-point ring spanner starts rounding a worn head. For repeatable preload, torque rather than feel.
Hole Sizes for M24
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 3 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 26 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 21 mm |
Tightening Torque for M24
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 726 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 1034 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 1210 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 M24
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 353 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 212 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 293 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 342 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 293 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.
M24 Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, Grade C Weight
A steel M24 hex head cap screws, fully threaded, grade c at the listed 50,240 mm length weighs approximately 178,547 g each — about 178,547 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 M24 Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, Grade C
- 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
For M24, pair with a M24 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M24 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
