Dimensional data for M24 Nyloc Lock Nuts to DIN 985 / ISO 7040, with the drive and the installation notes for this type.
Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.
M24 Dimensional Row (DIN 985 / ISO 7040)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Width across corners e min (mm) | Total height m (mm) | Metal height (mm) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M24 | 3.0 | 36.0 | 39.55 | 22.0 | 19.0 | DIN 985 / ISO 7040 | With nylon insert, single use |
Spanner & Drive for M24 Nyloc Lock Nuts
Drive geometry for M24 Nyloc Lock Nuts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
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
Nuts are graded to ISO 898-2 by the proof load the nut itself will hold (classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12), not by the 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9 scale used for bolts. A class-8 nut is the correct mate for a class-8.8 bolt, and the joint is designed on the bolt, so no bolt-tension figure is quoted here.
Installation Tips for M24 Nyloc Lock Nuts
- 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.

Need nyloc lock nuts in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M24 nyloc lock nuts. Height and across-flats are the two most often changed — a thinner nut for clearance, a larger hex for a tool that is already on the line. Made by cold heading or tapping.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
