Bolt Shear Strength - Metric

This document provides a table comparing the shear capacities of bolts in 3 classes (4.6, 8.8, and 10.9) in sizes from M6 to M39. The table shows the minimum breaking load in kilo-Newtons for the shank and thread sections of each bolt size and class. Larger bolt sizes and higher strength classes have higher shear capacities. All values represent single shear loads and are intended as guidelines rather than absolute values.

Shank (1) shear capacity of the unthreaded section (plain shank) of the fastner.
Thread (2) shear capacity of the threaded section of the fastener.
Notes
– all shear capacity values are given in kilo-Newtons (kN)
– all values represent the minimum breaking load in ‘single’ shear.
