Overview

Stainless steel 304/316 round threaded lifting eye nuts are essential fastening components used for creating a secure lifting point. They are characterized by a circular “eye” at one end and internal threads at the other, designed to be screwed onto a protruding bolt or threaded rod. Made from either 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, these eye nuts offer superior corrosion resistance and strength, making them suitable for a wide range of lifting applications.

Application

• Marine and Offshore Environments: Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, especially with 316 stainless steel, they are ideal for use on boats, docks, and offshore platforms where exposure to saltwater, humidity, and harsh weather conditions is common. They are used for mooring, anchoring, and lifting equipment.
• Construction Industry: These eye nuts are employed in lifting and securing heavy loads, scaffolding components, and temporary structures on construction sites. Their robustness ensures safety and reliability during critical lifting operations.
• Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Used as permanent or temporary lifting points on heavy machinery, motors, generators, and other industrial equipment to facilitate their transportation, installation, or maintenance. They provide a safe and convenient attachment point for hooks, shackles, and slings.
• Architecture and Structural Applications: In architectural design, they can be used for suspending decorative elements, tensioning cables for structural support, or creating attachment points in various building structures where both strength and aesthetic appeal are desired.
• Agricultural Equipment: For attaching chains, ropes, or other lifting accessories to farm machinery and implements, making it easier to move or secure them.
• General Purpose Lifting: Any application requiring a strong, corrosion-resistant, and easily attached lifting point for overhead lifting or securing loads.

Features

• Corrosion Resistance:
  • 304 Stainless Steel: Offers excellent general corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents and industrial atmospheres. It’s a widely used standard grade.
  • 316 Stainless Steel: Provides superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and saltwater environments, due to the addition of molybdenum. This makes it ideal for marine and highly corrosive industrial applications.
• High Strength and Durability: Both 304 and 316 stainless steel grades are known for their high tensile strength and durability, ensuring the eye nuts can withstand significant load-bearing stresses without deformation or failure. They are designed for reliable and secure lifting.
• Threaded Design: The internal threading allows for easy and secure attachment to corresponding externally threaded components (bolts, rods), providing a strong mechanical connection.
• Round Eye Configuration: The circular eye provides a robust and versatile attachment point for hooks, ropes, chains, or shackles, allowing for flexible rigging options.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Stainless steel has a clean, polished appearance that is often preferred in applications where visual appeal is important, such as architectural or decorative installations.
• Temperature Resistance: Stainless steel maintains its mechanical properties over a wide range of temperatures, making these eye nuts suitable for diverse operational environments.
• Hygienic Properties (304/316): Stainless steel is non-porous and easy to clean, making these eye nuts suitable for some applications in food processing or sterile environments, particularly the 316 grade.
