FAQ
Material, standards, surface treatment and installation points for this model; the data comes from the specification table on this page and from the national standards cited in the answers.
Q1What material does “TORX PLUS® 5IP Thread Inserts M1.6×3.2” use, and what strength level does it reach?
The specification table on this page states: material alloy steel (42CrMo); property class 12.9; tensile strength ≥1200 MPa; yield strength ≥1080 MPa; hardness HRC 39-44. Material certificates and mechanical property test reports can be supplied with the goods; batch acceptance follows the values stated above.
Q2What does the 6g thread tolerance mean for “TORX PLUS® 5IP Thread Inserts M1.6×3.2”?
The specification table on this page lists a 6g thread tolerance (ISO 965-1). Under GB/T 197 (ISO 965-1), 6g is the customary tolerance band for external threads, balancing smooth assembly against manufacturing economy; the mating internal thread is usually 6H.
Q3What are the head type, drive type and structure of “TORX PLUS® 5IP Thread Inserts M1.6×3.2”?
The specification table on this page states a TORX PLUS® drive. Structural details are subject to the drawing.
Q4What are the main features of “TORX PLUS® 5IP Thread Inserts M1.6×3.2”?
Features listed in the product description on this page: size M1.6×3.2, pitch 0.35 (one of the smallest sizes in the series); TORX PLUS® 5IP drive for stable torque transfer at a micro head diameter; 12.9 high strength with a tensile strength of ≥1200 MPa; 60° head angle for a precise seat.
Q5What does class 12.9 mean for the performance of “TORX PLUS® 5IP Thread Inserts M1.6×3.2”?
Under GB/T 3098.1 (ISO 898-1), property class 12.9 denotes a nominal tensile strength of 1200 MPa with a yield-to-tensile ratio of 0.9 (yield strength not below 1080 MPa). This series is made of 42CrMo alloy steel; the specification table on this page states a tensile strength of ≥1200 MPa and a hardness of HRC 39–44. (Applies to this model: “TORX PLUS® 5IP insert screw M1.6×3.2”.)
