Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor screw size
M3 · length not stated in the sources
Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor takes M3 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
The record covers sensor head mounting from lateral/jig side (max torque 1.6 N-m).
This entry is marked likely and comes from manualsdir.com.
M3 means a 3 mm nominal diameter with a 0.5 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

One row per fitment record. Head, drive and torque are shown only where the source states them; pitch is the ISO coarse pitch for the thread.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Check the strength class stamped on the head (8.8, 10.9, A2-70) and replace like for like.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 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 M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
Common mix-ups with M3
- Many gas-detector and sensor manuals only give a torque spec (e.g. '0.5 N·m max') without repeating the thread size at every mention — the explicit M3 callout is usually only in the accessories/spare-parts table, not the main installation steps.
- Terminal-block clamp screws have manufacturer-specific torque values — over-tightening cracks the block or crushes the wire.

Questions about Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor screws
- What size screw does Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor use?
- M3 for sensor head mounting from lateral/jig side (max torque 1.6 N-m).
- How long are the screws in Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor?
- 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 M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M3, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T10; socket heads take a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- How tight should the M3 screw on Keyence IG-010 laser displacement sensor be?
- The source gives 1.6 N-m for sensor head mounting from lateral/jig side (max torque 1.6 N-m).
