The M14 size of Eye Bolts is dimensioned by DIN 580. The tables below give the dimensional row from the standard, the drill and spanner sizes that go with it, and the assembly torque per property class. The technical drawing on this page redraws to the exact values selected.
M14 Dimensional Row (DIN 580)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Ring inside diameter d (mm) | Ring outside diameter (mm) | Thread length (mm) | Max load vertical (kg) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M14 | 2.0 | 42 | 72 | 28 | 500 | DIN 580 / WLL | Drop-forged lifting eye bolt, vertical pull |
Spanner & Drive for M14 Eye Bolts
Drive geometry for M14 Eye Bolts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M14
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 2 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 15.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 12 mm |
Tightening Torque for M14
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 135 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 190 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 230 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M14
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 115 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 67 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 95 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 112 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 92 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
M14 Eye Bolts Weight
A steel M14 eye bolts at the listed 28 mm length weighs approximately 305 g each — about 305 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³). Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Common Applications for M14 Eye Bolts
M14 Eye Bolts are commonly specified for medium-duty structural connections, automotive sub-frames and equipment chassis.
Mating Parts for M14
For M14, pair with a M14 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M14 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
