Threaded Rod ASTAR M 12 x 2000 mm DIN 976-1 RFA2

ASTAR threaded rod M 12 x 2000 mm produced to DIN 976-1 with RFA2 thread form is a solid cylindrical fastener with a nominal M12 diameter and 2000 mm length. It provides a continuous external metric thread along its length, enabling extended connections, reinforcement and tensioning in structural and mechanical assemblies. The rod is intended for use where standardized metric threading and predictable mechanical engagement are required for fastening, joining or load transfer applications.

Advantages

The continuous M12 RFA2 thread along the full 2000 mm length allows precise adjustment and uniform clamping force without the need for welded or coupler joints. Manufactured to DIN 976-1 dimensional and thread form standards, the rod ensures interchangeability with standard metric nuts, couplers and fittings. Its solid cylindrical design provides consistent tensile and shear load distribution for structural assemblies and repair tasks. The standardized form factor simplifies inventory and specification in construction and mechanical projects.

Suitable for

• Structural connections in steel and timber construction
• Tension rods and anchor systems
• Mechanical assemblies requiring long threaded engagement
• Repair and retrofit jobs where continuous threading is needed
• Temporary or permanent bracing and scaffolding components

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12 (metric)
• Overall length: 2000 mm
• Thread form: RFA2 in accordance with DIN 976-1
• Shape: solid cylindrical rod with continuous external thread
• Typical applications: tensioning, joining, reinforcement and anchoring

How to use

Select compatible M12 nuts, couplers or anchor fittings designed for metric threaded rods. Cut or trim the rod to the required length if permitted by the project design, and deburr the cut end to maintain thread engagement. Install the rod through the assembly or anchor point, then secure with appropriate nuts, washers and torque settings that match the mechanical requirements and material specifications of the structure. When longer runs of threaded rod are required, use certified couplers or splice methods recommended for metric threaded connections.

Usage recommendations

Verify material grade and surface finish compatibility with environmental exposure and load requirements prior to installation. Use correct torque values for M12 connections, and apply anti-seize or thread adhesive where specified to prevent galling or loosening under dynamic loads. For structural applications, follow applicable design standards and fastening guidelines to ensure safety and long-term performance.
