M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036) is the m5-thread variant of Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036) manufactured to GB/T 825 / DIN 580. This page focuses on the data engineers reach for at the bench: dimensional values for the M5 size, the spanner/drive that fits, and the assembly data you need to install it.
M5 Dimensional Row (GB/T 825 / DIN 580)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Hex socket s (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M5 | 0.8 | 30 | 8.5 | 5 | 4.0 | ISO 4762 / GB/T 70.1 |
Spanner & Drive for M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)
The hex socket for M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036) is shown in the spec table — use the matching Allen / hex key (an ISO 2936 hex key set covers the full range). A T-handle Allen key gives the best feel for setting preload by feel; for production work use a torque-controlled driver.
Hole Sizes for M5
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 0.8 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 5.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 4.2 mm |
Tightening Torque for M5
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 5.8 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 8.1 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 9.7 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.
Common Applications for M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)
M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036) are commonly specified for electronics, PCB hardware, optical mounts and small-scale machinery.
Installation Tips for M5 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)
- Use a quality Allen key fully seated in the socket — partial engagement is the most common cause of stripped sockets at this size.
- For countersunk and button-head variants, chamfer the through-hole to seat the head flush without preloading the head/shank fillet.
- At M5 the joint is sensitive to over-torque — use a torque-limiting driver and check the head doesn't bury into a softer counterpart.
When to Step Up or Down from M5
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M5 class 8.8, step up to M6 class 8.8 (or move to M5 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M4 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
