M6 T Slot Nut Dimensions
American National Standard Machine Screws and Machine Screw Nuts
These T-slot nuts fit a 8 mm T-slot and are threaded M6. These T-slot nuts work with the micro mill and some rotary tables. They are heat treated and have a black oxide finish. The stated dimension of the T-slot nut is the width at the top of the T-slot.
- T-Slot Nuts - Metric. Black Oxide Finish. Case Hardened. 1018 Material. The last thread is incomplete on T-Slot Nuts to prevent the stud from turning through the bottom of the nut. Standard package quantity: 9 - 25 pcs.
- Dimensions of various types of slotted machine screws, machine screw nuts, and header points are given in Tables 1 through 12. The Standard also covers flat trim head, oval trim head and drilled fillister head machine screws and gives cross recess dimensions and gaging dimensions for all types of machine screw heads.
This Standard ANSI B18.6.3 covers both slotted and recessed head machine screws. Dimensions of various types of slotted machine screws, machine screw nuts, and header points are given in Tables 1 through 12. The Standard also covers flat trim head, oval trim head and drilled fillister head machine screws and gives cross recess dimensions and gaging dimensions for all types of machine screw heads. Information on metric machine screws B18.6.7M is given beginning on page 1708.
Threads
Except for sizes 0000, 000, and 00, machine screw threads may be either Unified Coarse (UNC) and Fine thread (UNF) Class 2A (see American Standard for Unified Screw Threads starting on page 1865) or UNRC and UNRF Series, at option of manufacturer. Thread dimensions for sizes 0000, 000, and 00 are given in Table 7 on page 1698.
Threads for hexagon machine screw nuts may be either UNC or UNF, Class 2B, and for square machine screw nuts are UNC Class 2B.
Length of Thread
Machine screws of sizes No. 5 and smaller with nominal lengths equal to 3 diameters and shorter have full form threads extending to within 1 pitch (thread) of the bearing surface of the head, or closer, if practicable. Nominal lengths greater than 3 diameters, up to and including 1 1⁄8 inch, have full form threads extending to within two pitches (threads) of the bearing surface of the head, or closer, if practicable. Unless otherwise specified, screws of longer nominal length have a minimum length of full form thread of 1.00 inch. Machine screws of sizes No. 6 and larger with nominal length equal to 3 diameters and shorter have full form threads extending to within 1 pitch (thread) of the bearing surface of the head, or closer, if practicable. Nominal lengths greater than 3 diameters, up to and including 2 inches, have full form threads extending to within 2 pitches (threads) of the bearing surface of the head, or closer, if practicable. Screws of longer nominal length, unless otherwise specified, have a minimum length of full form thread of 1.50 inches.
Table 1. Square and Hexagon Machine Screw Nuts ANSI B18.6.3-1972 (R1991)
All dimensions in inches. Hexagon machine screw nuts have tops flat and chamfered. Diameter of top circle should be the maximum width across flats within a tolerance of minus 15 percent. Bottoms are flat but may be chamfered if so specified. Square machine screw nuts have tops and bottoms flat without chamfer.
Diameter of Body
The diameter of machine screw bodies is not less than Class 2A thread minimum pitch diameter nor greater than the basic major diameter of the thread. Cross-recessed trim head machine screws not threaded to the head have an 0.062 in. minimum length shoulder under the head with diameter limits as specified in the dimensional tables in the standard.
Designation
Machine screws are designated by the following data in the sequence shown: Nominal size (number, fraction, or decimal equivalent); threads per inch; nominal length (fraction or decimal equivalent); product name, including head type and driving provision; header point, if desired; material; and protective finish, if required. For example:
- ¼ - 20 × 1 ¼ Slotted Pan Head Machine Screw, Steel, Zinc Plated
- 6 - 32 × ¾ Type IA Cross Recessed Fillister Head Machine Screw, Brass
Machine screw nuts are designated by the following data in the sequence shown: Nominal size (number, fraction, or decimal equivalent); threads per inch; product name; material; and protective finish, if required. For example:
- 10 - 24 Hexagon Machine Screw Nut, Steel, Zinc Plated
- 0.138 - 32 Square Machine Screw Nut, Brass
