• External dimensions according to JIS B1181 (2004)/ISO 4032 (width across flats only)
• Threads screw tolerance according to JIS B0209 (2001)/ISO 965 6H
• The overall height was changed to approximate the maximum height with considerable tolerance in January 2014.
• S45C is used in the class 10 concave nut with rim
• Class 4 with HDZ35, Class 8 and Class 10 are available in sizes larger than M8.
• The basic type is also available with fine threads.
• Sizes M20–M30 made of A2/stainless steel (SUS304 equiv.) are currently available only in the basic type as the rim is under development.
• Please be advised that specifications are subject to change without notice.

• Stop tightening if full contact is reached between the convex and concave nuts before reaching the highest recommend torque.
• The reference tightening torque for the convex nut is calculated on the basis of a torque coefficient of 0.15.
• The tightening torque for the convex nut with HDZ35 is calculated on the basis of a torque coefficient of 0.35.
• For the tightening torque of the A2/stainless steel convex nut, refer to the strength classification of the bolt used.
• Because the proof load of the convex nut is the same as a general single nut, there is no unique torque value.
• The concave nut can be tightened until contact with the convex nut even if the tightening torque exceeds the recommended maximum value because the torque coefficient varies depending on the surface roughness.
• For HDZ concave nuts, apply torque at the upper limit of the recommended torque range due to the high torque coefficient.
