Dimensional data for M30 Thin Hex Castle Nut to GB/T 6181 / ISO 4035, 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.
M30 Dimensional Row (GB/T 6181 / ISO 4035)

Tightening Torque for M30
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 1443 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2055 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2405 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 M30
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 M30 Thin Hex Castle Nut — GB/T 6181 / ISO 4035 (Series 053)
- At M30 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 M30
Pair M30 with the matching M30 bolt or screw, plus a M30 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
