Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper screw size
M5 · 25 mm long
Our records put Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper on M5 screws, 25 mm long.
Where it is used: gripper-to-coupling screws (M5x0.8) and the fingertip retention screw.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from assets.robotiq.com.
For reference, M5 is 5 mm across the threads at 0.8 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Into printed plastic, the screw either self-taps or needs a heat-set insert; machine screws straight into plastic strip easily.
- Diameter: across the threads an M5 screw measures about 5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.8 mm from one thread crest to the next (12.5 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 25 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 M5 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T25 for Torx, and a 4 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 M5 is about 4.0-6.0 N·m into metal threads and 1.5-2.5 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M5
- M5x0.8 is the de facto universal bike thread — confirm 0.8mm pitch before threading into carbon or alloy bosses.

Questions about Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper screws
- What size screw does Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper use?
- M5 × 25 mm for gripper-to-coupling screws (M5x0.8) and the fingertip retention screw.
- How long are the screws in Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper?
- The record gives 25 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M5 screw?
- 0.8 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M5 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 4.2 mm and the normal clearance hole is 5.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Robotiq 2F-85 / 2F-140 gripper?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M5, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T25; socket heads take a 4 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M5?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing. Use a true M5 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
