VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair screw size

M6 · 16 to 25 mm long

If you are replacing a screw on VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair, the thread is M6 in lengths from 16 to 25 mm.

There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including screw for backrest bracket and base assembly (Stock no 8001206016) (M6) and standard assembly screw for chair frame (Stock no 8001206025) (M6).

2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (hmi-basen.dk).

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

  1. Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The records span 16–25 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. 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.
  7. 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 hole threads vary: 10-32 and 12-24 are still common in US racks alongside M6 - check the rail before buying.
  • 19-inch racks are not all metric: 10-32 and 12-24 UNC are still the norm in North America, with M6 the metric/square-hole cage-nut option.

Questions about VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair screws

What size screw does VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair use?
M6 × 16 mm for screw for backrest bracket and base assembly (Stock no 8001206016); M6 × 25 mm for standard assembly screw for chair frame (Stock no 8001206025).
How long are the screws in VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair?
The records range from 16 to 25 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
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 VELA Samba 150 Dental Chair?
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.
