M36 is one of the standard coarse-thread sizes for stud bolt, double-end under GB/T 15389 / DIN 938. The sections below reproduce the dimensional row, list the matching tools and hole sizes, and summarize where this size is normally specified.
M36 Dimensional Row (GB/T 15389 / DIN 938)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Engagement depth bm (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M36 | 4.0 | 280 | 54 | Cl. 8.8 alloy steel | DIN 939 / GB/T 901 |
Hole Sizes for M36
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 4 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 39 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 32 mm |
Tightening Torque for M36
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2523 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 3593 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 4204 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 M36
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 817 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 490 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 678 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 792 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 678 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.
Mating Parts for M36
For M36, pair with a M36 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M36 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.

Need stud bolt, double-end in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M36 stud bolt, double-end. A non-standard bolt is quoted from the drawing; where one already exists in the catalog, the special is usually a variation on its tooling. Made by cold heading or hot forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
