Technical data
Rated load by direction of loading
The permitted load depends strongly on the direction in which the load is applied. Three cases are defined:
F1Axial load
Load acting along the axis of the thread. This is the highest rated load and corresponds to the WLL marked on the eye bolt.
F2Angled load, max. 45 degrees
Applies when the angle between each sling branch and the vertical does not exceed 45 degrees.
F3Lateral load, max. 45 degrees
Applies when the load acts in parallel to the plane of the eye. Lateral loading of eye bolts should be avoided wherever possible.
Do not use under shear tension
Mandatory conditions of use (per DIN 580:2018-04)
The eye bolt must be fully screwed in, so that there is firm contact between the two mating faces.
The counter thread must be of an equal length, and the base material of an equal strength to that of the bolt.
Tapped holes must have a threaded length sufficient to ensure the shank is fully engaged and the collar fully seated (see DIN 76-1).
With clearance holes, an eye bolt / nut assembly shall be used. The nut should be of a size equal to 0.8 x d and be tightened, with a washer used where thread length permits.
Eye bolts must not be used under shear tension.
Before use, each eye bolt should be checked for correct seating and apparent damage, such as corrosion or deformation. Deformed eye bolts must be discarded.
Eye bolts and nuts should not be colour marked in use, and particularly not marked in red, so they cannot be mistaken for high-strength fixing points.
Source: mounting instruction / user information according to DIN 580:2018-04.
Marking required by the standard
DIN 580:2018-04 requires eye bolts to be permanently marked by embossing with:
the manufacturer trademark,
the symbol denoting the material grade, for example C15E or A2,
the lifting capacity in the axial direction, given as the working load limit (WLL) in kg,
an arrow indicating the axial direction.
Space shall also be provided for any marking required by statutory regulations, such as CE marking.
Declaration of intended use
Eye bolts intended for lifting loads are machinery components and, for the European market, carry their own conformity requirements including operating instructions supplied with the product. Our standard eye bolts and eye nuts without CE marking on the body are supplied for general securing, anchoring and lashing purposes, not as rated lifting points for overhead lifting. Please state the intended application in your enquiry so that the correct specification, marking and documentation can be offered.
Related pages
These pages cover the same job from a different angle.
Components in this group are produced by the route that suits the part — forging for load-bearing items, forming or machining for the rest.
Threads, bores and bearing surfaces are machined and gauged.
Assemblies are put together and checked for movement where they have moving parts.
Surface treatment is applied, then a final visual and dimensional check before packing.
What to check on receipt
The part matches the drawing or sample it was ordered against.
Threads and bores are clean and within tolerance.
No cracks, distortion or sharp edges at the load-bearing points.
FAQ
FAQ
Can an eye bolt be used for angled lifting?
Capacity reduces as the angle of pull moves away from the axis of the shank, and some standards do not permit angled loading at all. Tell us the angle and we will confirm what applies.
What is the difference between DIN 580 and DIN 582?
DIN 580 is an eye bolt, screwed into a tapped hole. DIN 582 is an eye nut, screwed onto an existing stud or bolt.
What do F1, F2 and F3 mean on a DIN 580 eye bolt?
They are the maximum loads for different directions of pull. F1 is a pull in the plane of the eye; F2 and F3 apply as the pull moves away from that plane, and capacity drops sharply as it does. For M20, for example, published values are F1 12,000 N, F2 8,600 N and F3 6,000 N.
Are those values your tested figures?
No. They are the values the DIN standard specifies for the size, taken from the standard sheets published by Ganter Norm, JW Winco, Mädler and TraceParts — cross-checked, all four agree. Actual capacity for our production is as stated in the factory test report and as confirmed in the order.
How must an eye bolt be fitted?
It must be screwed in fully so that the two mating faces meet. Both threads must be of equal length and the base material of equal strength to the bolt. The operating instructions supplied with the eye bolt give the full guidance.
Do you stock stainless steel eye bolts?
We supply eye bolts and eye nuts to DIN 580 and DIN 582 in carbon steel, and can supply stainless on request. Tell us the grade and size you need.
