An eye bolt is a bolt with a loop at one end. Eyebolts are headless bolts with eye-type hooks and externally threaded bodies used for lifting purposes. These are threaded to steel and often assisted by a nut. These are used to attach a securing eye to a structure so that slings and other hardware can be attached for lifting. These Bolts are load rated and made from forged steel that has been quenched and tempered. These are manufactured by both hot and cold forging processes with and without shoulder.
Due to their use in lifting, these bolts are mostly produced in high tensile alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and ASTM specifications for high tensile material conforming to ASTM A193, A307, A325, F468 Grade 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9, etc. lifting eyes are coupled with a tapped hole or used in combination with high tensile nut. Lifting eyes, eye hook bolts, forged eye bolts are some other alias of eye bolts. Their dimensions are defined in both metric and imperials sizes with unified national coarse pitch, fixed pitch, fine pitch, and ISO metric thread profile.
