DIN 103 Metric Trapezoidal Screw Threads — Limiting Dimensions, 7e External / 7H Internal (TR8 – TR40) in an industrial setting

Specifications

The trapezoidal thread is the motion thread of the metric world — the 30° acme-style flank that converts rotation to translation in lead screws, valve stems, press spindles and jack screws — and DIN 103 is its German standard, the system behind this catalog's trapezoidal threaded rod and nut pages. Unlike a fastener thread, a trapezoidal thread is ordered as a system: designation carries the pitch explicitly (TR20x2, TR20x3, TR20x4 — same 20 mm major, three pitches trading lead against flank strength), and clearance is built in, because the screw and nut must run against each other without seizing. The collected chart prints both halves of the running pair for TR8 through TR40: external threads at tolerance class 7e (all values below basic — the clearance side; e.g. TR20x2 - 7e: major 20.000/19.820 max/min, pitch dia. 18.929/18.729, minor 17.500/17.179) and internal threads at class 7H (all values at or above basic, e.g. TR20x2 - 7H: minor 18.000/18.236 min/max, pitch dia. 19.000/19.265, major 20.500 min). The 7e/7H pair is the standard manufacturing fit; where zero-backlash or heavier running clearance is wanted, that is a different class and an RFQ conversation. Pitch ladder follows size: 1.5/2 mm at TR8–TR12, stepping through 3/5/8 to 3/6/10 at TR30–TR40. Thread form details (flank angles, root radii) beyond the limiting diameters are not tabulated by this collected chart — per RFQ.

Standard DIN 103 — ISO metric trapezoidal screw thread (30° flank motion thread; pairs with this catalog's din-103-trapezoidal-thread-rods / -hex-nut / -round-nut product pages)
Size range TR8 – TR40, 52 external + 50 internal rows; pitch per size as printed (TR8x1.5 … TR16x2/3/4, TR20x2/3/4, TR22x3/5/8, TR30x3/6/10, TR40x3/7/10)
External thread (7e) Major/pitch/minor diameter max/min per row, all below basic (clearance class); example TR20x2 - 7e: 20.000/19.820, 18.929/18.729, 17.500/17.179
Internal thread (7H) Minor/pitch diameter min/max plus major diameter min per row, at or above basic; example TR20x2 - 7H: 18.000/18.236, 19.000/19.265, 20.500

Materials

  • Running-clearance class, material pairing (screw/nut) and lubrication specified per RFQ — motion threads wear as a system, so state the duty cycle at quotation

Ordering & documentation

Documents

Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.

Quotation

  • The fastener family (DIN 103 Metric Trapezoidal Screw Threads — Limiting Dimensions, 7e External / 7H Internal (TR8 – TR40)) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
  • Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
  • Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
  • Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.

Sample & supply

Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces. Stock items run 3–7 days. Quantities or variants outside the standard range are confirmed at quotation.

Storage & shipping

Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the pitch on a trapezoidal thread, and what does the 7e/7H class pair actually control?

Pitch on a trapezoidal thread is a motion-vs-strength trade, and the designation makes it explicit: TR20 is available at x2, x3 and x4 in the collected chart — the x2 gives finer positioning per turn and a stronger flank for the same major diameter (more thread depth relative to lead), while the x4 moves the nut twice as far per revolution but leaves less metal in the flank. Lead screws and positioning duty lean fine; hand-operated presses and jacks lean coarse because operator turns are cheap and flank load is not. Above TR22 the ladder widens further (3/5/8 at TR22, 3/6/10 at TR30–TR40), so large screws can move fast without extreme helix angles. The class pair answers a different question: how much clearance the running pair has. 7e (external) puts the screw's limiting diameters entirely below basic and 7H (internal) entirely above, so the assembled pair always has running clearance — a manufactured-in guarantee that a lathe-cut screw and a tapped nut will turn without binding. That clearance is also why trapezoidal threads carry play under reversal load; where a mechanism cannot tolerate it, anti-backlash nut designs or tighter classes are the fix, and both are RFQ conversations, not chart lookups. Order the pair together — screw class, nut class and pitch as one line — and the collected tables on this page give the gaging limits both faces must meet.

What is the MOQ and lead time for threaded parts on this standard?

The minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces. Stock items ship in 3–7 days; non-stock items are confirmed at quotation. Common thread sizes on this standard are widely stocked; confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.
