Eye Bolts & Nuts

Threaded studs that terminate in a closed loop are know as Eye Bolts.

There are various type of Eye Bolts.

The bolts which are used with collars (DIN-580) are suitable even for angular loads whereas those which do not have a shoulder (DIN-444) are not suitable for angular loads.

Lifting Eye Bolts – DIN 580

These are a critical piece of lifting equipment for safe handling and moving by securing the “eye” to a load so a sling or lifting equipment can be attached.

This is a bolt with a loop at one end. They are used to firmly attach a securing eye to a structure, so that ropes or cables may then be tied to it. The eye bolt must be of fully screwed in to achieve a perfect contact between the two mating faces. Both threads must be of a equal length and the base material of equal strength to that of the bolt.

The permissible working load limit (WLL) is allowed only if the bolt or nut is tightened to the part it’s lifting

Lifting Eye Bolts are made as per DIN 580. To ensure safety, always use CE marked Eye-Bolts.

Ensure that the is complete engagement of the male and female threads.

Non-shouldered eye bolts are only designed to be used for completely vertical lifts. Use shouldered eye bolts for any kind of angular lifting.

Eye Bolts are not recommended for horizontal loads.

The permissible working load limit (WLL) applies to temperatures between -20°C to + 200°C.
