Custom M24 to M20 Thread Adapter & Reducing Bushing

Need an M24 to M20 adapter or reducing bushing that holds pressure or load — turned from solid steel or stainless, in the exact pitch your port or thread uses? We machine it to order, sealing or plain, male-female or as a bushing. From a sketch, no CAD, one piece up. Get a quote →

For hydraulics and load — not a pressed reducer

Plenty of M24/M20 reducers exist as thin zinc bushings for light duty. The M24-to-M20 size, though, sits right in hydraulic and machine-build territory, where the joint carries pressure or mechanical load. That's what we make: a part turned from solid bar, with the thread class and concentricity controlled, and — if it has to seal — the correct seal face for your port. Because it's machined to order, the pitch, length, hex and seal are whatever your fitting actually needs, including combinations no catalog lists.

Sealing or mechanical? If the M24/M20 joint passes fluid under pressure, tell us the medium and pressure and whether the seat is parallel (BSPP-style) or tapered — we cut the matching seal face. If it just transmits load or position, no seal is needed and we hold thread fit and squareness.

Forms we machine

Male-Female Adapter

M24 male to M20 female (or reverse) — convert or extend a threaded line or port.

Reducing Bushing

M24 male outside, M20 female inside — steps a tapped M24 hole down to M20.

Double-Male Stud

M24 male and M20 male — joins two female ports or housings.

Female-Female Coupling

M24 female and M20 female — joins two male threads end to end.

Typical uses

  • Hydraulic & pneumatic ports — adapt an M24 port to an M20 fitting (or the reverse) with the right seal.
  • Reducing a tapped hole — drop an existing M24 thread to M20 with a bushing instead of re-machining the housing.
  • Sensor & transducer mounts — fit an M20 sensor into an M24 boss, or vice versa.
  • Machine & equipment retrofits — join shafts, rods and fittings where the two threads don't match.

Where the Catalogue Stops for This Size Pair

If a plain reducer in this step exists on a stockist's shelf, buy it. These are the versions that do not exist as a part number.

What you needIn the catalogue?How we machine it
A plain coarse-to-coarse reducer in this size stepSometimes stockedIf a stockist lists it, buy it off the shelf. We are worth calling when the pitch, length, material or form is not on their page.
A hydraulic or load-bearing joint rather than a cable entryNoAt M24 this pair usually carries load. Alloy steel and full thread engagement rather than a pressed reducer.
Different pitch on each endNoEach thread single-pointed to its own pitch on the same bar.
Double-male stud instead of a bushThinMale on both ends; far fewer sizes stocked and almost none in mixed pitch.
Female-female couplingThinJoins two studs rather than reducing a hole. Any pitch pair.
Hex flats sized to a spanner you already ownNoCut to your wrench, not to a catalogue table.
Through-bore for a shaft, cable or fluidNoBore and both threads cut in one setup so they stay concentric.
Shortened body for a crowded plateNoCatalogue parts come in one length. State the space you have.
Left-hand thread on either endNoNot stocked at any size.
316 stainless or alloy steel instead of plated mild steelRareMaterial is open; no tooling cost at these sizes.

Frequently asked

Can you make an M24 to M20 hydraulic port adapter that seals?

Yes. Tell us the fluid, pressure and whether the seat is parallel or tapered, and we machine the matching seal face or O-ring groove. Mechanical-only joints are left as a plain reducer with controlled thread fit. See hydraulic adapters →

Do you make it as a reducing bushing as well as an adapter?

Yes — M24 male outside, M20 female inside, to step a tapped M24 hole down to M20. We also do male-female, double-male and female-female. Tell us what each side threads into.

Which pitches are available?

M24×3.0/2.0/1.5 and M20×2.5/1.5/1.0, plus non-standard pitches. Each end is gauged. More on coarse vs fine pitch →

What material, and can it take load?

Steel, alloy steel, or 304/316 stainless. Turned from solid bar, so it carries real mechanical and pressure load — unlike a thin pressed reducer. MOQ one piece, no CAD needed.
