The M10 hex bolt size represents one of the most versatile and widely used standards in global manufacturing and engineering. Engineered for strength and durability, our high-grade M10 hex bolts are designed to meet the rigorous demands of diverse applications, from heavy machinery to critical infrastructure. This product page provides a comprehensive overview of our M10 hex bolt offerings, detailing their specifications, advantages, and the superior value they bring to your projects.

Product Overview

Our M10 hex bolts are premium fasteners characterized by their hexagonal head, which allows for high-torque application with standard tools. The "M10" designation refers to a metric coarse thread with a 10mm nominal diameter, a size renowned for its optimal balance of strength and versatility. Manufactured from selected materials and subjected to stringent quality control, these bolts provide a secure, long-lasting connection essential for structural integrity. They are available in various grades, finishes, and lengths to suit a broad spectrum of industrial requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does the "M10" in the hex bolt size mean?

"M" stands for Metric, and "10" indicates the nominal diameter of the bolt's thread in millimeters. Therefore, an M10 hex bolt size has a thread diameter of approximately 10mm.

What is the standard wrench size for an M10 hex bolt?

The standard wrench (spanner) size for an M10 hex head bolt is 17mm. This is consistent across most international standards for this bolt diameter.

What is the difference between Grade 8.8 and 10.9 M10 bolts?

The grade indicates the bolt's tensile strength. A Grade 10.9 bolt has a higher tensile and yield strength than a Grade 8.8 bolt, making it suitable for more critical, high-stress applications. Always select the grade specified by your engineering design.

Can I get M10 bolts in stainless steel?

Yes. We supply M10 hex bolts in A2 (304) and A4 (316) stainless steel, which offer excellent corrosion resistance for applications in chemical, marine, and food-processing environments.

Do you offer custom lengths or special finishes?

Absolutely. We provide custom cutting and threading services for non-standard lengths. Special finishes like Dacromet, Geomet, or Xylan coatings are also available for enhanced corrosion and chemical resistance.

What standards do your M10 hex bolts comply with?

Our standard inventory complies with ISO 4014/4017 and DIN 931/933. We can also supply bolts meeting ASTM, SAE, JIS, and other regional standards upon request.
