M6 Class 8.8 Metric Zinc-Plated Bolts

Description: M6 Class 8.8 metric zinc-plated bolts are high-tensile fasteners used in a variety of mechanical, structural, and industrial applications. These bolts are engineered to deliver superior strength and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty tasks. The zinc plating provides a protective layer that enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and reliability in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Material and Plating:

• Material: High-tensile steel (Class 8.8), known for its excellent mechanical properties and high tensile strength.
• Plating: Zinc plating offers superior corrosion protection, extending the bolt's lifespan and maintaining its integrity in various environmental conditions.

Specifications:

• Thread Size: M6 (6mm diameter)
• Length: Available in various lengths to suit different applications
• Thread Pitch: 1mm (standard metric coarse thread pitch)

Torque Recommendations:

• Dry Torque: Approximately 10 Nm (Newton-meters)
• Lubricated Torque: Approximately 8 Nm (Newton-meters)

These torque values ensure the bolts are tightened to the correct tension, preventing over-tightening and potential damage to the bolts or the components they are securing.

Spanner Size:

• Spanner/Wrench Size: 10mm Use a 10mm spanner or socket for tightening and loosening M6 bolts.

Drill and Tap links and Information:

• Drill Size for Tapping: 5mm To prepare a hole for threading an M6 bolt, use a 5mm drill bit.
• Tap Size: M6 x 1mm Use an M6 x 1mm tap to create internal threads in the drilled hole, ensuring a precise fit for the M6 bolt.

Applications: M6 Class 8.8 metric zinc-plated bolts are widely utilized in:

• Machinery and equipment assembly
• Automotive and aerospace industries
• Structural and construction projects
• DIY and home improvement tasks
• Furniture and cabinetry construction

These high-tensile bolts provide robust and reliable fastening solutions, capable of withstanding significant loads and stresses.

By following the recommended torque values and using the appropriate spanner size and drill/tap dimensions, M6 Class 8.8 bolts will ensure secure, durable, and long-lasting connections in your projects.
