Installation Tips for M5 Castellated Hex Nut — GB/T 6180 / ISO 7036 (Series 048)
- 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.
Mating Parts for M5
Pair M5 with the matching M5 bolt or screw, plus a M5 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
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.
