Eye nuts are nothing but fasteners with a looped head designed to receive a hook, rope, cable, and chain. Eye nuts are designed for vertical lifting and are often used to lift heavy equipment vertically. It is not recommended for angular lifting. They have mainly used an attachment to equipment for transportation that could not be moved by hand. Eye nuts are rated explicitly for different applications and are oval or round. Eye nuts without load-rated design are used for tie-downs and guiding wires. They are not rated for lifting applications.


Types of Eye Nuts

The eye nuts come in several shapes, such as 

  • Eye Nuts featuring standard internal threading and a looped head.

  • Eye Nuts come in larger & thicker sizes for more heavy-duty looped head and bell. It is meant to tackle higher dissimilar load sizes.

  • Eye Nuts come in 7/8 "-9 and 1"-8 sizes featuring a smaller bell and sizable internal diameter length.

The superior quality eye nuts are available in 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, self-colored carbon steel, zinc-plated steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel, C1045 Carbon steel. Aluminum & copper-base alloys are lighter than steel, and they are not strong as well. Numerous grades of steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel are used to make such fastener materials. The stainless steel will not need anti-corrosion coatings, but it cannot be hardened to the same degree as carbon steel. Anyway, it is suitable for specialized applications. The black oxide coating is also used in its making but it won't make any dimensional change in the eye nuts.
