DIN 557
DIN 557 identifies the chamfered commercial geometry. Dimensions and combinations support product selection; specify supply conformity, property class and tolerances in the order.
Four flat sides allow tool engagement or location in a pocket that prevents rotation. Select the chamfered square nut by thread, height and the space available in its housing.
UNI 5597


Verified commercial sizes M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 and M16. Other sizes, heights and threads on request. Width s is measured between parallel faces, not across the diagonal.
Dimensions in mm. Identification drawing, not a manufacturing drawing.
| M | Pitch P | s | m |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 0.8 | 8 | 4 |
| 6 | 1 | 10 | 5 |
| 8 | 1.25 | 13 | 6.5 |
| 10 | 1.5 | 17 | 8 |
| 12 | 1.75 | 19 | 10 |
| 16 | 2 | 24 | 13 |
Dimensions s and m are commercial selection references. Allow clearance and tolerances in the housing; the square shape does not make the nut self-locking. The listed class identifies the requested commercial version, not every supply in the DIN 557 family.
Table dimensions refer to the stated execution. DIN/UNI, polymer and special variants require verification of their own dimensions; they do not automatically inherit reference geometry, weight or performance.
Executions are distinguished by reference, material, class and finish. DIN, ISO and UNI references do not imply dimensional equivalence or availability of every size in each material. Supply and batch documents require quotation confirmation.
| Execution reference | Material | Class / hardness | Documented finishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIN 557 | Stainless A2 | To be specified | To be specified |
| DIN 557 | Stainless A4 | 80 | To be specified |
| DIN 557 | Steel | 6 | GEOMET 321A; Plain; Zinc plated |
“To be specified” is a requirement not established by this selection; it does not imply class 70/80, HV hardness or an automatic finish. Steel property classes do not apply to nylon/polyamide; PA6 and PA66 are distinguished only where stated. For nuts with non-metallic inserts, the material shown is the body material.

DIN 557 identifies the chamfered commercial geometry. Dimensions and combinations support product selection; specify supply conformity, property class and tolerances in the order.
Related reference in commercial catalogues. No exact normative equivalence is claimed; compare geometry and the supply specification.
Selections follow the technical combinations in this data sheet. Quantities, delivery terms and documents will be agreed in the quotation.
Other materials, property classes and finishes available on request. Each configuration is assessed against the enquiry specification.
Other diameters, lengths, materials and finishes can be assessed on request. For dedicated production, we agree geometry, requirements and minimum quantities with the customer.
