SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner screw size
M3 / M5 · length not stated in the sources
If you are replacing a screw on SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner, the thread is M3 and M5. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including device attached to bracket with vibration dampers using at least two M3 screws (M3) and device is mounted to bracket via at least two M5 tapped blind holes (IP65 standard housing (M5).
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (sick.com).
An M3 screw is 3 mm in diameter with a 0.5 mm pitch, tapped with a 2.5 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- 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.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3 / M5
- Nylon M3 standoffs are for vibration isolation, not load-bearing frame arms.
- Eurorack rail thread varies by manufacturer: some tapped M2.5, some M3 — not a single universal standard.
- M5x0.8 is the de facto universal bike thread — confirm 0.8mm pitch before threading into carbon or alloy bosses.

Questions about SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner screws
- What size screw does SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner use?
- M3 for device attached to bracket with vibration dampers using at least two M3 screws; M5 for device is mounted to bracket via at least two M5 tapped blind holes (IP65 standard housing), max screw-in depth 5 mm.
- How long are the screws in SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner?
- 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 SICK CLV63x/CLV64x/CLV65x fixed-mount barcode scanner?
- 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.
