What are the varieties in stainless steel eye bolts, and how can I make a selection?

These are the types of stainless steel eye bolts:

• Standard Eye Bolts: Have a simple looped head, suitable for general purposes.
• Shoulder eye bolts: They have a shoulder located under the eye, which can bear angular loads and offer more strength.
• Lag Eye Bolts: Have a threaded end for screwing into wood or other materials.
• Machinery Eye Bolts: Designed for heavy-duty lifting and securing machinery.

Choosing the Right Eye Bolt:

• Load Capacity: Select based on the weight and load requirements of the application.
• Type and Length: Make sure the type of thread is appropriate for the material you are going to secure it in, and also consider if it is long enough to ensure a strong hold.
• Head Type: Select from standard or shoulder eye bolts, this depends on whether there is a requirement for handling angular load.
• Environmental Conditions: Check if the eye bolt is appropriate for environmental conditions, particularly when it’s used in areas with corrosion or marine elements.
