Product Description
M8 A2 Stainless Steel Double End Studs – DIN 938
Please note small threaded end is not measured in length (8mm)
These M8 DIN 938 double end studs are manufactured from A2 stainless steel and feature a metric coarse thread with a 1.25mm pitch. Threaded sections at each end are separated by a plain central shank, providing a fixing for components secured to a tapped base or housing.
The short 8mm threaded end screws into the tapped component, while the opposite end accepts a matching M8 nut. This allows covers, brackets and other fitted parts to be removed without withdrawing the stud from the base material.
Key Features
- A2 stainless steel: corrosion resistance for general engineering, equipment assembly and maintenance.
- DIN 938 design: double end stud with a nominal screw-in thread length equal to the thread diameter.
- M8 metric coarse thread: 8mm nominal diameter with a 1.25mm pitch.
- 8mm screw-in end: short threaded section for fitting into a matching tapped hole.
- Plain central shank: unthreaded section between the two threaded ends.
- Choice of lengths: 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 70mm and 80mm nominal lengths.

Choosing the Correct Stud
Check that the tapped hole and mating nut both have an M8 x 1.25mm thread. Allow for the thickness of the fitted component, any washer and sufficient nut engagement when choosing the stud length.
