Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration screw size
M6 · length not stated in the sources
If you are replacing a screw on Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration, the thread is M6. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
It is listed for laserland 'M6 Series Fine Adjustment Screws' page states: 'M6*0.5 precision regulator ... Threaded bushing and lock nut for thread integration ... For integration with fine adjustment stages and translation stages' — sold specifically for positioning laser diode modules.
This entry is marked reported and comes from laserland.com.
An M6 screw is 6 mm in diameter with a 1 mm pitch, tapped with a 5 mm drill; imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Instrument and audio hardware often threads into wood or thin metal; a screw that is too long can poke through a finished surface.
- 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.
- 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
- Rack cage-nut screws for audio gear are usually M6, but the same rack may also take 10-32 or 12-24 imperial screws.
- UR cobot flange bolts are commonly sold/quoted as 'M6 bolts' but the required length depends on the tool thickness; UR's own guidance is bolt class M6-8.8 to ISO4762 without a fixed length, so length must be selected per adapter/tool stack-up, not assumed as a fixed mm value.

Questions about Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration screws
- What size screw does Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration use?
- M6 for laserland 'M6 Series Fine Adjustment Screws' page states: 'M6*0.5 precision regulator ... Threaded bushing and lock nut for thread integration ... For integration with fine adjustment stages and translation stages' — sold specifically for positioning laser diode modules.
- How long are the screws in Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration?
- 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 Laser fine-adjustment / beam-alignment screw for laser-module integration?
- 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.
