Gibraltar 23040.0063 Unequal Double Threaded Stud M6x1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 23040.0063 is an unequal double threaded stud manufactured from alloy steel with a heat-treated finish. It features an M6 x 1 thread size and an overall length of 80 mm, with a long thread length of 50 mm, a short thread length of 9 mm, and an unthreaded shank length of 21 mm. The stud conforms to Thread Fit Class DIN 787 and carries a material grade of 10.9, indicating high tensile strength suitable for demanding fastening applications. This type of hardware is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on machinery, fixtures, or structural components requiring a secure threaded connection on both ends.

Unequal double threaded studs are used in industrial and mechanical assembly applications where one end threads into a tapped hole or component and the other end accepts a nut for clamping or fastening. The unequal thread lengths allow one end to be permanently set into a base material while the opposite end provides an external stud for attachment. This stud is appropriate for general-purpose machinery assembly, equipment maintenance, and fabrication applications where a DIN 787-class fit is specified.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 thread size with DIN 787 thread fit class for standardized metric fitment
• Alloy steel construction with heat-treated finish for elevated tensile strength
• Material grade 10.9 for high-strength fastening requirements
• Unequal thread lengths: 50 mm long thread, 9 mm short thread, 21 mm unthreaded shank
• 80 mm overall length suitable for applications requiring clearance or extended reach
• No flat on shank, maintaining a clean cylindrical profile

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or assembly stud for machinery, fixtures, and equipment requiring an M6 x 1 DIN 787-class unequal double threaded stud with an 80 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician. Power down and de-energize all associated equipment before servicing any fasteners in live machinery. Use calibrated torque tooling appropriate for a grade 10.9 M6 fastener per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean, properly sized, and free of debris before threading the short end into the base material.
