How to check the screw before you buy
- Keep material and finish the same as the original (often stainless) on equipment that is cleaned or sterilised.
- 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 6 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.

Questions about Ottobock 17AD1 ankle joint screw (M6) screws
- What size screw does Ottobock 17AD1 ankle joint screw (M6) use?
- M6 × 6 mm for M6x6 fastener listed in instructions.
- How long are the screws in Ottobock 17AD1 ankle joint screw (M6)?
- The record gives 6 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 Ottobock 17AD1 ankle joint screw (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.
