FAQs
Are these eyenuts safe for overhead lifting?
Yes, these are drop-forged and certified for lifting. Always refer to your provided test certificate for exact weight limits.
What is the pitch of the M16 thread?
This model features a standard 2mm thread pitch.
Does 'self-colour' mean it is galvanized?
No, self-colour means the metal is in its raw state after forging and has no protective plating, making it susceptible to rust.
Can I get a replacement test certificate?
Yes, test certificates for these units are provided via email. Please contact the supplier with your order details.
What are the dimensions of the internal eye?
The eye dimensions include an A measurement of 30mm and an internal clearance of 24mm (E).
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not thread smoothly
Check for debris or burrs in the threads; ensure the bolt size and pitch (2mm) match the M16 specification.
Signs of surface rust appearing
Clean the surface with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-corrosive primer or oil immediately.
Eyenut rotates under load
Ensure the fastener is fully tightened and use a locking washer or thread-locking compound if vibration is present.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-strength drop-forged steel construction
- Certified for safe lifting applications
- Standardized M16 threading fits most commercial hardware
- Comprehensive dimension profile ensures precise installation
Cons
- Self-colour finish is prone to rust if left untreated
- Requires periodic inspection for signs of wear or deformation
- Not suitable for marine environments without additional corrosion protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the mating bolt is fully threaded into the eyenut to achieve maximum load-bearing capacity. The M16 thread is compatible with standard 2mm pitch industrial bolts.
Care and Maintenance:
- Keep the threads clean of debris before installation.
- Apply a light layer of machine oil or rust-preventative coating periodically, as the self-colour finish lacks a protective zinc or galvanized plating.
- Conduct a visual inspection before every use to check for cracks, deformation, or thread damage.
- Do not exceed the rated load capacity as specified in your accompanying test documentation.
