M60x2 thread – characteristics and application in power hydraulics

The M60x2 thread is a precision metric thread with a 60 mm diameter and a 2 mm pitch, used in locations where an exceptionally durable, leak-proof, and heavy-load resistant connection is required. Due to its dimensions and construction, it finds wide application in power hydraulics systems, industrial pneumatics, and machine building.

What characterizes the M60x2 thread?

The M60x2 thread belongs to the metric thread group with a 60° profile angle, which guarantees a secure and vibration-resistant connection. The 2 mm pitch allows for appropriate thread density, which is particularly important for large diameters. As a result, this thread performs perfectly in applications where high pressures and dynamic forces occur.

Stainless steel, carbon steel, or brass are used for the production of M60x2 thread components, often with a galvanic coating ensuring corrosion resistance and a long service life. These types of threads are manufactured with high precision, which translates into reliability and leak-tightness of connections in demanding industrial conditions.

Application of the M60x2 thread

The M60x2 thread is used in:

• large diameter hydraulic ends and connectors,

• adapters and reductions used in high-pressure systems,

• valve housings, actuators, and hydraulic manifolds,

• industrial installations where vibration resistance and tightness are important,

• construction, agricultural, and mining machinery where high-flow oil hoses are used.

Due to its large nominal diameter, the M60x2 thread is used where the stability and safety of the connection under heavy load matter.
