Lifting Eye Nuts are used primarily for overhead lifting and tie-down points threaded onto a stud or eye bolt. This page summarizes where they fit, the industries that rely on them, and the practical points to get right when you specify them — to DIN 582. Stocked across roughly M6 to M36, they cover general to heavy-duty work.
Typical Applications for Lifting Eye Nuts
The most common settings where these are specified:
- Bolted joints: the clamping counter-face on studs and bolts across every assembly type.
- Vibration-prone equipment: where a locking or flanged style resists loosening.
- Frames & weldments: captive or welded options for repeatable assembly.
- Overhead lifting: threaded lifting points on studs and shafts.
- Tensioning: anchor points for turnbuckles and tie rods.
How to Specify Lifting Eye Nuts for Your Application
- Size: Match the nominal size to the mating thread or hole. This product spans M6–M36; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
- Locking & grade: Match the strength grade to the bolt, and choose a locking style (nyloc, all-metal, serrated flange) if the joint sees vibration.
- Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- Standard: This product is supplied to DIN 582. Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.
Where Lifting Eye Nuts Are Not the Right Choice
Not on their own — they need a matching bolt or stud — and a plain nut is not a substitute for a locking type under heavy vibration.
