Dimensions
Dimensions in mm, except drive size. Min./Max. and approximate values (~) follow the Ambrovit catalogue for this execution and do not automatically apply to other versions. * Diameter identified by the manufacturer as having a thread-forming thread. W14, W16 and W18 identify washer executions, not tolerance limits. Specify the washer in the quotation.

Drilling and application conditions
The R and T values below apply only to the Ambrovit C1022 steel execution. R is an indicative laboratory value: speed, substrate thickness and strength must be checked for the application. Where T depends on length, capacity is specified for the requested execution.
| Diameter | R (rpm) | T (mm) / condition |
|---|---|---|
| 4,2 | 2.000 | To be determined from the point and required length |
| 4,8 | 2.000 | To be determined from the point and required length |
| 5,5 | 2.000 | 4,00 |
| 6,3 * | 2.000 | 6,00 |
Declared hardness for Ambrovit 81172: surface HV ≥ 560; core HV 330-425. For diameter 6.3: core HV 270–425. Solid stainless executions for soft metals, such as aluminium, do not inherit case-hardened steel drilling values. Bimetallic screws require separate verification of the body and drill point. Specify the diameter and material of the EPDM sealing washer; control tightening to avoid damaging the seal.
