DIN 7964 Slotted inserts

This standard specifies requirements for M 2,5 to M 30 bolts and screws ('bolts', for short) with various head styles and a diameter of the unthreaded portion of the shank smaller than the minor diameter. Although such bolts have a reduced shank, they are not waisted shank bolts.
In addition to the head styles adopted from existing DIN Standards (cf. table 2), this standard specifies two bolt types with different thread lengths, namely type K (with short thread) and type L (with long thread), each serving a different purpose. Type K is mainly intended for use in cases where the bolt is to be screwed into a threaded hole of a component (e.g. for fastening a cover as lid to a housing), while type L is designed for bolt/(hexagon) nut assemblies.
Bolts may be designed as captive fasteners, a snap ring being used, where required (cf clause 5), as a safeguard to prevent the screw from working loose.
See DIN 962 (or the standards referred to therein) for special bolt types or finishes.

1) Dimension b₂ (cf table 1) has been chosen so that the thread length for screws with cone point is equal to that for bolts with chamfered end.

Use of thread size given in brackets should be avoided where possible.
1) P = pitch of coarse thread.
2) Only for head style C.
3) The zone between the stepped lines indicates the commercial lengths for type K Smaller lengths (identified by dashes) can not be manufactured The range of commercial lengths for type L bolts is still to be established. When ordering such bolts, it is recommended that the supplier be previously consulted.

DIN 267 Part 9 shall apply with regard to electroplating, any other type of surface protection being subject to agreement.
Acceptance inspection DIN 267 Part 5 shall apply with regard to acceptance inspection.

1) Only for screws without surface protection, the 6g tolerance makes it possible for normal coating thicknesses to be applied in accordance with DIN 267 Part 9 the reference line not being exceeded.Depending on the coating thickness required a larger fundamental deviation shall be selected than that for the g position. This might, however impair the resistance to stripping of the bolt/nut assembly.
2) Other property classes or materials shall be subject to agreement.
Note Since the shank diameter specified in this standard is equal to about 75% of the thread major diameter te smaller than the minor thread diameter the bolts are not capable of accommodating the minimum breaking loads of the corre sponding property classes as specified in ISO 898 Part 1 and failure is liable to occur when the corresponding proof loads are applied Any calculation made should therefore be based on smaller loads and torques.
3) St = 9 SMnPb 28 K as specified in DIN 1651 (ISO 898 Part 1 not applying here).
4) CuZn = CU2 or CU3, at the manufacturer's discretion.

Designation

The designation of bolts and screws as specified in this standard shall in the following order consist of:
a) the name of product;
b) the IN number;
c) the thread size;
d) the nominal length;
e) the thread length (referring to either type K or L);
f) the symbol denoting the head style (as in table 2);
g) the symbol denoting the type of thread end (as in DIN 78);
h) the property class or material;
l) any further details (eg type of cross recess):
Designation of an M5 bolt with reduced shank and short thread (K) of nominal length, I = 20 mm, head style C, thread end K, property class 4.8 and cross recess type Z.

Bolt DIN 7964 - M5 × 20 - KC - K - 4,8 - Z

Designation of an M5 bolt with reduced shank and long thread (L) of nominal length, l = 20 mm, head style D1, thread end Sp and property class 8,8:

Bolt DIN 7964 - M5 × 20 - LD1 - Sp - 8,8

DIN 962 shall apply for the designation of special features, with additional information to be given on ordering.

Example of application

The example given below shows a cover/housing assembly where the captivity of the bolt is ensured by means of a snap ring and a threaded hole in the cover.
Note - Screws with style C head cannot be used for covers with thread because of the shoulder below the screw head.
