Bolts are essential components in manufacturing and construction industries. They are used for complex machinery in automobiles, bridges, and buildings due to their strong structure. Bolts play a crucial role in keeping everything together.
Bolts are external fasteners that are manufactured to be inserted through holes in assembled parts. They are typically tightened or loosened by turning a nut.
There are many types of bolts, each with different shapes, but they all share common properties. Most bolts have a threaded cylindrical rod, a head at one end, and a nut at the other end.

Eye Bolts Are Primarily Used for Light-duty Applications
It is mainly used for light-duty applications because heavy weight can affect the eye to open, or for pointed loads which could bend or even break the bolt.
It is considered as one of the most common type of bolt which has a simple structure, which includes of threaded shaft along with an eye at one of its end. It is inserted to structures such as wood or steel support which are usually been supported by a nut. It is fabricated to give a rope or cable sustenance throughout the ring in order to lift a material.
Components of an Eye Bolt
Part
Purpose
Eye
Hooks, ropes, and other attachments can be connected at this point.
Shank
Transfers the load by inserting into or through a substance.
Threaded Portion
provides a tight fitting of the eye bolt into a tapped or nut.
Head
serves as a bearing surface to keep the eye bolt from escaping.
Shoulder
Keeps the bolt from sinking too far and more evenly distributes the strain.
Nut
secures the eye bolt in place, adding more security.
Various Types of Eye Bolts & Applications
Type of Eye Bolt
Applications
Standard Eye Bolt
construction, automotive, and marine applications.
Shoulder Eye Bolt
used in lifting and rigging.
Heavy-Duty Eye Bolt
Heavy lifting and industrial applications
Swivel Eye Bolt
rigging and hanging equipment.
Marine Eye Bolt
Marine environments and outdoor applications
Drop Forged Eye Bolt
construction and industrial uses.
Lag Eye Bolt
wooden structures or beams, often used in carpentry and woodworking.
Metric Eye Bolt
metric measurements are required, common in international standards.
Safety Eye Bolt
Critical safety applications ,such as in safety rigging.
Rigging Eye Bolt
Used in lifting and hoisting operations
Refer T-head Bolts Standard and Threads
T-Head Bolts is also called as Hammer-Head Bolts. It is has special “T†shaped head which gives easy insertion of the bolt in the top part which manages it from revolving while the installing nut.
Complying with particular standard of T-Head Bolts will ensure that it has the desired sizes, strength and features to manage the deliberated weight and pressure on it. This stops the incidents of failure and accident and expensive repairs.
