M6 Lifting Eye Bolt are manufactured to GB/T 825 / DIN 580. This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M6 size together with the rated working load limit and the notes for safe installation.

Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.

## M6 Dimensional Row (GB/T 825 / DIN 580)

| Size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Hex socket s (mm) | Reference standard |

## Applications & Industries for M6 Lifting Eye Bolt

Where Lifting Eye Bolt are used, and what decides the specification in each case. Stocked from M3 to M36.

### Industries that specify Lifting Eye Bolt

- **Marine & offshore:** Tie-down and anchor points in a corrosive environment.
- **Lifting & materials handling:** Rated attachment points for slings, hooks and shackles.
- **Machine installation:** Lifting points on gearboxes, motors and fabrications.

### Typical applications

- providing a rated lifting point on a threaded hole
- tie-down and securing points within a stated WLL

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **Working load limit:** Rated by WLL and by the angle of pull — an eye loaded off-axis carries a fraction of its straight rating.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What clearance and tapping drill suit M6?

Use a 6.6 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M6 thread.

### Which Allen key fits M6 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)?

The hex-socket size for each row of Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036) is shown in the spec table — use the matching Allen / hex key. An ISO 2936 set covers every size on this page.

### How do I avoid stripping the socket on M6 Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)?

Fully seat the key in the socket, choose ball-end keys only for low-torque finishing work, and prefer a T-handle key when feel matters. For production use a torque-controlled driver.

### What is the coarse-thread pitch of M6 for Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036)?

For M6 the standard coarse pitch is 1 mm — this is the value used for Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 036).
