Gibraltar 23040.0061 Unequal Double Threaded Stud M6x1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 23040.0061 is an unequal double threaded stud designed for fastening applications that require different thread engagement lengths on each end. Made from alloy steel with a heat-treated finish, this stud carries a material grade of 10.9, indicating high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The overall length is 32 mm, with a long thread length of 16 mm on one end and a short thread length of 9 mm on the other, separated by an unthreaded shank of 7 mm. It is dimensioned to M6 x 1 thread size and conforms to DIN 787 thread fit class standards. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically work with this fastener type.

This stud is used in industrial and mechanical assembly applications where a fixed stud must be anchored into one component while a nut is driven onto the opposing end. The unequal thread configuration allows the shorter end to seat into a tapped hole or insert while the longer end accepts a mating nut or coupling. Common installation scenarios include equipment panels, motor mounts, and machinery frames that use metric fastener standards. The DIN 787 thread fit class makes this part compatible with metric assemblies following European and ISO-aligned dimensional standards.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 thread size on both ends with unequal thread lengths for versatile engagement
• Long thread end: 16 mm for secure nut engagement
• Short thread end: 9 mm for anchoring into tapped holes or inserts
• Unthreaded shank of 7 mm separates the two threaded zones
• Alloy steel construction with heat-treated finish for high tensile strength
• Grade 10.9 material rating for use in high-load mechanical assemblies
• Conforms to DIN 787 thread fit class

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for metric mechanical assemblies conforming to DIN 787 thread fit specifications using M6 x 1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with metric fastener standards and torque requirements for Grade 10.9 alloy steel hardware. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastener replacement or assembly. Use the appropriate metric hex or stud driver to avoid damaging thread surfaces. Ensure the tapped receiving hole meets DIN 787 class tolerances before installation to maintain proper thread engagement and load rating.
