HALF INCH X 6 INCH SHOULDER EYE BOLT
About The Product
A Shoulder Eye Bolt is a mechanical fastener with a threaded shank and a looped head (eye) designed to accommodate ropes, cables, or shackles. The "Half Inch x 6 Inch" Shoulder Eye Bolt indicates that the bolt has a ½-inch diameter and a 6-inch overall length, typically with partial threading and a shoulder section for added strength under angular loads.
featueres
1. Material: Usually made from forged steel, hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance.
2. Threading: UNC (Unified National Coarse) threads, usually with 3-4 inches of thread length.
3. Shoulder Design: Allows for safe lifting and load-bearing even when the load is applied at an angle.
4. Eye Configuration: Closed circular eye for secure attachment of cables or fittings.
5. Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized coating ensures outdoor durability in harsh environments.
6. Load-Rated: Engineered and tested for specific load capacities.
7. Durability: High tensile strength for heavy-duty utility and industrial use.
usage
1. Support hardware for guy wires, suspension of electrical or telecom cables.
2. Attachment point for insulators, cross arms, and pole line fittings.
3. Lifting and rigging applications in industrial or utility settings.
4. Pole mounting in overhead transmission and distribution lines.
5. As a structural anchor point in construction or maintenance equipment.
size and range
standardization
1. ASTM A307 / A36 – Standard for carbon steel bolts.
2. ANSI/ASME B18.15 – Specifications for eye bolts.
3. ISO 3266 / DIN 580 (for lifting applications) – Metric equivalents.
4. Galvanization: Hot-dip per ASTM A153 for corrosion protection.
5. Load Testing: Often rated and tested to meet specific utility requirements.
6. Utility Standards: Complies with RUS, NEMA, or UL where applicable.
aPPLICATION
1. Utility Poles: Suspension of guy wires, dead-end insulators.
2. Telecommunications: Mounting of cables and aerial wires.
3. Construction: Structural lifting, anchoring, and securing scaffolding.
4. Industrial: Machinery hoisting, overhead rigging, cable bracing.
5. Agricultural: Fence wire support, barn infrastructure anchoring.
INSTALLATION
➥ Drill a pre-hole in the pole or surface as per the bolt’s diameter.
➥ Insert the threaded end, ensuring the shoulder seats flush against the surface.
➥ Use a washer and nut (usually provided) on the backside for secure fit.
➥ Torque to specified limits based on application and thread size.
➥ For angular loads, ensure shoulder is in full contact with the mounting surface.
➥ Avoid over-tightening, which may compromise structural integrity.
