Product Description
Standard Name: Eye Bolt (Ring Bolt / Lifting Eye Bolt).
Common Names: Lifting Eye Screw, Sheep Eye Bolt, Lifting Eye.
Product Definition: A bolt featuring a circular or “D”-shaped ring head, designed for lifting, suspending, towing, or securing. ZP denotes a zinc-plated surface finish.
Eye Bolt ZP Key Features
Zinc Plated (ZP) Coating: Provides basic rust protection and a bright silver finish, enhancing corrosion
resistance, suitable for indoor or mildly damp environments.
Eye Design: Forged closed eye at the top facilitates connection of ropes, chains, hooks, or lifting rings,
providing a secure lifting point.
Threaded Structure: The bolt features standard threads and is commonly used with nuts and washers;
types include straight eye or shouldered eye.
Material and Strength: Commonly made of carbon steel, offering medium strength; conforms to
standards such as DIN 580 and ASME B18.15.
Advantages: Convenient for lifting, economical and practical, easy to install, but the load must be
axial to avoid side pulling.

Working Principle
Threaded Fixing: The bolt is screwed into the base material or used with a nut, generating axial
clamping force.
Eye Connection: The closed eye provides a connection point, and ropes or hooks pass through the eye
to transmit tensile force.
Load Transmission: The tensile force is evenly distributed to the base material through the bolt; the zinc
plating reduces friction and provides corrosion protection.
Safety Control: Requires axial loading; avoid side pulling to prevent bending; the principle involves
frictional gripping and mechanical wrapping.

Product Applications
Lifting and Hoisting: Connecting chains or ropes for lifting equipment and structural components,
providing temporary lifting points.
Construction Engineering: Fixing railings, suspension rods, or curtain walls to concrete/wood.
Mechanical Equipment: Fastening pipes, lighting fixtures, or brackets; zinc plating is suitable for
indoor use.
Home and DIY: Installing chandeliers, swings, or shelves; economical and practical.
General Fixing: Any project requiring an eye connection.
