Shoulder Eye bolt
Shoulder Eye bolts are specialized fasteners designed primarily for supporting suspension insulators in deadend applications. They are characterized by a shoulder that prevents turning when tightening the nuts, ensuring secure installation. The flat base of the eye functions effectively as a washer, providing additional protection to the structure it is mounted on. These bolts are commonly used in conjunction with various hardware such as guy wires, messenger wires, and formed wire grips, making them essential components in electrical utility and telecommunications infrastructure.
Shoulder Eye bolts come in various sizes and can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are typically forged from high-quality steel and hot-dip galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance. With a tensile strength of up to 22,000 lbs, these bolts ensure reliability and durability under heavy loads. Their broad eye design allows for excellent attachment points, making them versatile for different applications in utility poles and crossarms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are Shoulder Eye Bolts?
Shoulder eye bolts are specialized lifting hardware featuring a shoulder that provides additional stability. This design allows them to handle both vertical and angular loads effectively, reducing stress on the shank during lifting operations.
What is the difference between Shoulder Eye Bolts and Thimble Eye Bolts?
Shoulder eye bolts have a distinct shoulder under the eye for added support, while thimble eye bolts are designed to eliminate the need for thimbles, shackles, or links. Shoulder eye bolts can accommodate angular loads, making them more versatile.
What are the standard sizes of Shoulder Eye Bolts?
Common sizes for shoulder eye bolts include 5/8″, 3/4″, and 1″. We are a leading manufacturer capable of customizing sizes according to specific customer requirements, ensuring optimal fit for various applications.
How much weight can Shoulder Eye Bolts lift?
The lifting capacity of shoulder eye bolts varies by size. For instance, a 5/8″ shoulder eye bolt has a minimum tensile strength of approximately 13,550 lbs, while a 3/4″ bolt can handle up to 20,050 lbs when properly installed.
Can Shoulder Eye Bolts be used for angular lifting?
Yes, shoulder eye bolts are designed for angular lifting. However, it is crucial that they are properly seated against the load surface to maintain their rated capacity. Improper seating can significantly reduce their load-bearing capabilities.
How should I install Shoulder Eye Bolts?
Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of debris. The shoulder must be flush against the mounting surface. Use washers if necessary to achieve proper seating, and always check tightness after initial loading.
Are there any safety considerations when using Shoulder Eye Bolts?
Yes, always adhere to the manufacturer’s specifications regarding load limits and installation guidelines. Avoid exceeding the rated capacity and ensure that loads are applied in line with the plane of the eye to prevent bending or breakage.
