The M36 size of Stud / Threaded Rod is dimensioned by ISO / DIN. The tables below give the dimensional row from the standard, the drill and spanner sizes that go with it, and the assembly torque per property class. The technical drawing on this page redraws to the exact values selected.
M36 Dimensional Row (ISO / DIN)
| 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 |
Spanner & Drive for M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154)
Drive geometry for M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154) is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
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) | ≈ 2450 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 3450 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 4150 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 898-1) | 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, class 8.8 | 654 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154) Weight
A steel M36 stud / threaded rod at the listed 280 mm length weighs approximately 2,237 g each — about 2,237 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.
Common Applications for M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154)
M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154) are commonly specified for structural steelwork, heavy machinery foundations and large flange joints.
Installation Tips for M36 Stud / Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 154)
- At M36 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 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.
