M30 Eye Bolts (DIN 580) are specified by thread size, length and head dimensions. The M30 row from the standard is reproduced below, followed by the drill sizes, spanner size and torque values used when installing this size.
M30 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M30 | 3.5 | 80 | 144 | 60 | 3200 | DIN 580 / WLL | Drop-forged lifting eye bolt, vertical pull |
Spanner & Drive for M30 Eye Bolts
Drive geometry for M30 Eye Bolts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M30
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 3.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 33 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 26.5 mm |
Tightening Torque for M30
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 1400 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2000 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2400 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 M30
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 561 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 337 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 466 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 544 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 449 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.
M30 Eye Bolts Weight
A steel M30 eye bolts at the listed 60 mm length weighs approximately 2,368 g each — about 2,368 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 M30 Eye Bolts
M30 Eye Bolts are commonly specified for structural steelwork, heavy machinery foundations and large flange joints.
Installation Tips for M30 Eye Bolts
- At M30 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.
Mating Parts for M30
For M30, pair with a M30 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M30 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
