Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6) screw size
M6 · length not stated in the sources
Our records put Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6) on M6 screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
Where it is used: service manual torque table: M6 7-12 Nm.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from invacare.co.uk.
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
- Where the manufacturer publishes a torque value, use a torque driver rather than feel.
- 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.
- 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.
Common mix-ups with M6
- Small wind turbine literature frequently quotes torque or Allen-key size without a thread size; only callouts with an explicit 'M' designation were kept.
- Manual explicitly warns that under-tightening this M6 hinge screw can let the door glass crash into the drum, so torque compliance matters more than just thread match.

Questions about Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6) screws
- What size screw does Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6) use?
- M6 for service manual torque table: M6 7-12 Nm.
- How long are the screws in Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6)?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- 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 Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6)?
- 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.
- How tight should the M6 screw on Invacare Action3 NG wheelchair frame/axle fastener (M6) be?
- The source gives 7-12 Nm for service manual torque table: M6 7-12 Nm.
