M52 Self-Locking Counter Nuts are manufactured to DIN 7967. This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M52 size together 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.
M52 Dimensional Row (DIN 7967)
| Size | od (mm) | id (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | t (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M52 | 52 | 48.2 | 16 | 80 | 1.7 | DIN 7967 |
Spanner & Drive for M52 Self-Locking Counter Nuts
Drive geometry for M52 Self-Locking Counter Nuts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Tightening Torque for M52
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 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 M52
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 M52 Self-Locking Counter Nuts
- At M52 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 M52
Pair M52 with the matching M52 bolt or screw, plus a M52 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.

Need self-locking counter nuts in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M52 self-locking counter nuts. Thread size is the obvious variable and rarely the interesting one — height for clearance, across-flats for the tool already in the cell, and the locking feature for the vibration actually present. Made by cold heading or tapping.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
