Carbon Steel 4.8Grade Zinc Plated DIN580 Forged Shoulder Eye Bolt

An eye bolt is a screw with a loop on one end and threads on the other end. Eye bolts are commonly used to attach cables to objects, to facilitate lifting. Eye bolts made by bending a rod or wire into a loop are only suitable for light duty applications, as heavy loads can cause the eye to open. For high loads, eye bolts with forged or welded loops should be chosen, as they can withstand loads up to the tensile strength of the material of which they are made.

A Carbon Steel 4.8 Grade Zinc Plated DIN 580 Forged Shoulder Eye Bolt is a specialized fastener designed for lifting and securing loads. Here's a breakdown of the information:

Carbon Steel: The eye bolt is made from carbon steel, a strong and durable material commonly used in fasteners for its reliability and strength. 4.8 Grade: The "4.8 Grade" designation refers to the strength and material characteristics of the eye bolt. In this case, it indicates a medium strength level suitable for various applications. Zinc Plated: These eye bolts are coated with a layer of zinc plating, which serves as a protective finish to enhance corrosion resistance. Zinc plating is effective in preventing rust and corrosion, making the eye bolt suitable for outdoor or moisture-prone environments. DIN 580: DIN 580 is a European standard that specifies the technical details and dimensions for lifting eye bolts. Adherence to this standard ensures the eye bolts are designed and manufactured to specific quality and performance criteria for lifting applications.

Forged shoulder eye bolts like these are commonly used for creating attachment points for lifting or securing heavy loads. The combination of carbon steel and zinc plating ensures durability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Tensile 65,000 psi
Yield 30,000 psi

Loads should always be applied in the plane of the eye.

Not at some angle to this plane.

It is not recommended to lift at more than 45 degrees.

Working load limits for eye bolts are based on a straight vertical lift in a gradually increasing manner.
