Converter Adapter M8 to M6 - Foreign Machine Compatible Converter
Developed to enable you to use installation tools designed for Turkish-manufactured machines on foreign standard equipment, this converter adapter acts as a bridge between different industrial standards. It is an indispensable compatibility solution for companies operating in textile, leather, and accessory production sectors.
Product Features:
- Material: Manufactured from iron alloy
- Conversion Size: M8 to M6
- Product Type: Thread standard converter adapter
- Ease of Use: Practical installation with attach-detach system
- Durability: Robust structure suitable for industrial use
Application Area:
Adapter that converts installation tools for Turkish-manufactured machines to be compatible with foreign tools. Used as M8 to M6 converter. Particularly needed in these areas:
- Imported installation machines
- Foreign-origin press devices
- European standard press equipment
- British and American manufactured installation systems
- Adaptation of dies purchased from international suppliers
Why Is It Needed?
Assembly machines used worldwide have different thread standards according to the industrial norms of the countries where they are produced. While M8 metric thread system is common in Turkey, M6 metric thread system is more widely used abroad.
🇹🇷 Recommended Standard for Turkey - M8 Metric Thread: M8 metric thread usage is more common in production and assembly work in Turkey. M8 is preferred for compatibility with local supply and standard machines.
- Diameter: 8mm
- Thread Pitch: 1.25mm
- Advantage: Strong connection, local supply ease
🌍 Recommended Standard for Foreign - M6 Metric Thread: In countries like UK and US that use inch system, or when working with imported equipment, M6 metric thread usage is more common. M6 is preferred for compatibility with international machines and equipment.
- Diameter: 6mm
- Thread Pitch: 1.0mm
- Advantage: International standard compliance
Inch Equivalents of M6 and M8 Metric Thread Sizes:
Approximate inch (UNC) equivalents of M6 and M8 metric thread sizes help you make diameter comparisons in international projects or imported equipment. However, thread pitches and standards are different; therefore metric and inch threads cannot be used interchangeably, they only show rough equivalence in terms of diameter.
🔹 M6 (~6mm diameter)
- M6 outer diameter: 6mm → 6 / 25.4 ≈ 0.236 inch
- Closest UNC size: 1/4"-20 UNC
- 1/4" outer diameter ≈ 0.250 inch → Slightly larger than M6
- 20 TPI (threads/inch) → Thread pitch ≈ 1.27mm
🔹 M8 (~8mm diameter)
- M8 outer diameter: 8mm → 8 / 25.4 ≈ 0.315 inch
- Closest UNC size: 5/16"-18 UNC
- 5/16" outer diameter ≈ 0.3125 inch → Very close to M8
- 18 TPI → Thread pitch ≈ 1.41mm
🔎 Thread Pitch Comparison (approximate)
- M6 standard thread pitch → 1.0mm → 25.4 / 1.0 = 25.4 TPI equivalent
- M8 standard thread pitch → 1.25mm → 25.4 / 1.25 = 20.32 TPI equivalent
As you can see, 1/4"-20 and 5/16"-18 in inch system are close to M6 and M8 in diameter, but thread count (TPI) and thread profile are different. Therefore there is no mechanical compatibility; it only provides approximate equivalence.
Product Advantages:
✓ Cost Advantage: Adapts your existing dies to different standards, eliminates need for new equipment purchase ✓ Quick Adaptation: Ready to use immediately without requiring complex modifications ✓ Versatility: Transition capability between machines of different country origins ✓ Practical Solution: Flexible use thanks to attachable-detachable structure ✓ Solid Structure: Iron material does not deform even in intensive use ✓ Universal Compatibility: Establishes connection between global standards
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Textile and leather companies that export
- Manufacturers importing machines from abroad
- Workshops working with international customers
- Facilities using equipment in different standards
- Machine spare parts suppliers
- Businesses doing multinational production
How to Use:
- Screw your installation die with M8 metric thread to one end of converter adapter
- Attach other end of adapter to your foreign-origin machine with M6 metric thread socket
- Continue with your assembly processes in normal workflow
- Can be easily removed and used on another equipment when needed
Which Machines to Use With:
This converter adapter can be used in following equipment types:
- Hand press plier machines
- Snap fastener installation devices
- Eyelet press tools
- Button installation presses
- Covered button machines
- Rivet and washer installation equipment
- Leather processing installation systems
Important Information:
⚠️ Compatibility Warning: This converter adapter only provides conversion between M8 and M6 metric thread standards. Not compatible with inch (imperial) system screws.
⚠️ Usage Recommendation: If you have multiple dies in different standards, keeping separate converter adapters for each will speed up your workflow.
