Today, a huge range of fasteners is presented on the market, one of these hardware is a “bolt”. There are bolts that can be used in all areas, and there are those whose use is limited. The latter include eye bolts, hinged bolts, foundation bolts and cone bolts. Let's take a closer look at the features and purpose of eyebolts.
Is it possible to do without the eyebolt?
Eye bolt - is a hardware, which is referred to as universal rigging fasteners. It is not as popular as similar fasteners, it has a narrower circle of consumers. An eyebolt is a ring with a threaded shank made of metal for gripping.
Eye bolts are most often used in construction for lifting heavy materials in ports and as a mooring device, etc. For more convenient lifting, the bolt is screwed into a specially threaded hole. Such fasteners are used with special eye nuts. As a fastener, an eyebolt is used in industrial equipment, the body of which provides for thickenings, the so-called bosses. If the installation has such, then the presence of a nut in a set with such a bolt is optional.
Everything according to the standard!
The eyebolt has its own state standard GOST 4751-73. These hardware are produced with metric threads from M12 to M72, selected according to the weight of the product for which they are made.
Each product must be tested for durability. The load that the eye bolts must withstand must be 100% more than their original load capacity, with an overload of no more than 5%.
The method of manufacturing eyebolts is not unimportant. In the production of fasteners, welding is unacceptable, which is why the manufacturing process is by forging or stamping, after which they undergo heat treatment and cleaning of the finished product from scale. Very often the coating of the eyebolt is chrome or zinc, but other anti-corrosion coatings cannot be ruled out.
The eyebolt is an indispensable fastener that is indispensable when lifting heavy loads. With this fastener, any type of installation and construction work can be made much easier, as well as secure their implementation.
