Hexagon head bolt DIN 931 / ISO 4014, M 5x65, hexagon 8 mm, shank 49 mm, steel 8.8, zinc-plated

When thin sheets and small add-on parts are bolted together, every millimetre of head height counts. This hexagon head bolt M 5x65 to DIN 931 has a head only 3.5 mm high and is tightened across flats of 8 mm. Of the total length of 65 mm, 16 mm carry the thread while the remaining 49 mm form a plain shank. The shank bears against the drilled hole and takes shear loads instead of passing them through the thread flanks. The material is steel of property class 8.8 with an electroplated zinc coating.

Advantages

• Thread length of 16 mm to DIN 931, sufficient for a nut and a washer in size M 5.
• Plain shank of 49 mm within 65 mm of total length, which places the shear plane in the full shank cross section instead of the thread.
• Head height of 3.5 mm keeps the overall height of the joint low.
• Hexagon head with 8 mm across flats, so the tightening torque can be applied with an ordinary open-ended or ring spanner.
• Steel of property class 8.8 with an electroplated zinc coating, so the joint stays releasable in dry and occasionally damp surroundings.

Applications

Steelwork and frame structures with through holes for M 5. Mounting of motors, gearboxes and pumps where the plain shank of 49 mm takes the shear load. Assembly of housing covers and panels with a clamping length up to 49 mm. Replacement of damaged standard bolts in size M 5x65.

Standards and conformity

The bolt is dimensioned to DIN 931 and ISO 4014. The width across flats is 8 mm to DIN 931 and 8 mm to ISO 4014. The material is steel of property class 8.8 with an electroplated zinc coating.
