The M6 size of Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws with Collar is dimensioned by DIN 967. 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.
M6 Dimensional Row (DIN 967)
| Size | Pitch P (mm) | b (mm) | c (mm) | da (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | r (mm) | Head height k (mm) | rf (mm) | x (mm) | cT (mm) | mH (mm) | mZ (mm) | Length range l (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M6 | 1.0 | 38.0 | 1.6 | 6.8 | 14.5 | 0.25 | 4.55 | 8.2 | 2.5 | 3 | 7.1 | 6.7 | 8~60 | DIN 967 |
Spanner & Drive for M6 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws with Collar
Drive geometry for M6 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws with Collar is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M6
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 1 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 6.6 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 5 mm |
Tightening Torque for M6
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 10 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 15 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 17 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 M6
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 20.1 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 12 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 17 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 20 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 16 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.
M6 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws with Collar Weight
A steel M6 phillips pan head machine screws with collar at the listed 860 mm length weighs approximately 1,115 g each — about 1,115 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.
Installation Tips for M6 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws with Collar
- Pozidriv (PZ) drivers ride out of Phillips (PH) recesses and vice versa — confirm the recess marking on the head before assembly.
- For automated assembly, an ACR (Anti-Cam-Out Ribs) or torx-equivalent driver gives noticeably longer bit life than plain PH.
When to Step Up or Down from M6
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M6 class 8.8, step up to M8 class 8.8 (or move to M6 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M5 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
