Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery screw size
M6 · 12 mm long
Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery takes M6 metric screws, 12 mm long.
The record covers product explicitly titled 'Hygienic M6x12 Screw with Blue Silicone Gasket', 3-A hygienic standard compliant fastener for food-contact-adjacent machine assembly.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from movet.eu.
For reference, M6 is 6 mm across the threads at 1 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6.

How to check the screw before you buy
- VESA holes are threaded inserts in the back cover; if a screw stops early, back it out rather than forcing it, because a bottomed-out screw can crack the panel housing.
- Diameter: across the threads an M6 screw measures about 6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 1 mm from one thread crest to the next (10 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 12 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M6 heads take PH3 for Phillips and T30 for Torx, and a 5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M6 is about 7-10 N·m into metal threads and 2.5-4.0 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M6
- Hygienic/3-A food-industry M6 screws are a distinct fastener class (with integrated sealing gasket/washer) from standard DIN 912 M6 socket-head screws; substituting a plain DIN 912 M6 screw on food/sanitary equipment breaks the hygienic seal even though the thread is nominally the same size.
- Astro dovetail hardware is inconsistent: Losmandy-brand dovetail plate screws are 1/4-20 (imperial) per Losmandy/Astro-Physics documentation, while PrimaLuceLab's PLUS-standard dovetails explicitly use M6 — don't assume metric across all 'Losmandy-style' dovetail ecosystems.

Questions about Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery screws
- What size screw does Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery use?
- M6 × 12 mm for product explicitly titled 'Hygienic M6x12 Screw with Blue Silicone Gasket', 3-A hygienic standard compliant fastener for food-contact-adjacent machine assembly.
- How long are the screws in Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery?
- The record gives 12 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M6 screw?
- 1 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M6 machine screws; a 0.75 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 6.6 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Hygienic 3-A screw with blue silicone gasket (MOVET) for food processing machinery?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M6, Phillips heads normally take PH3 and Torx heads T30; socket heads take a 5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6. Use a true M6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
