Stainless Steel Eye Bolts

Eye bolts are commonly used as a lifting tool or securement point and they are widely used in all kinds of industrials. We could also use them to connect other rigging tools.

There are four basic types of eye bolts, regular eye bolts, shoulder eye bolts, screw eye bolts and machinery eye bolts. All four of these basic types that Huaxin Stainless offers are made of stainless steel to ensure greater rust resistance.

Regular and shoulder eye bolts are essentially the exact same part with the only obvious exception being the shoulder. The shoulder feature provides more stability to the base of the eye and therefore, makes it the recommended choice for angular loading. Regular eye bolts are not recommended for angular loading. Both regular and shoulder eye bolts have UNC type or metric threads.

Screw eye bolts are designed for screwing into wood or plastic. And because of this, do not have a working load limit assigned to them because it is not possible to determine the various densities and conditions of the wood the eye bolts are screwed into.

Machinery eye bolts are designed with a shoulder and are designed for angular loading. The difference between machinery eye bolts and regular and shoulder type eye bolts is that the shank and threads of the machinery eye bolt do not protrude through the base metal. Therefore, all of the holding strength of the machinery eye bolt is on the threads.
