BS529 Eye Bolt – Zinc Plated (BSW Thread)

The BS529 eye bolt is a collared lifting eye bolt designed as a removable lifting point wherever a rated female thread or nut is available. With working load limits from 0.3 tonne to 4.6 tonne across imperial sizes from 3/8" to 1 1/4", it also serves as a reliable termination point for chain, wire rope and other lifting and rigging assemblies.

Key Features

• Manufactured from carbon steel to BS 970 specifications with a durable zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance.
• Compact collared eye design – a smaller eye than DIN type eye bolts.
• BSW (British Standard Whitworth) thread for use with rated tapped holes and nuts.
• Conforms to AS 2317 and marked with working load limit in tonne, nominal size, quality grade, batch number and supplier identification.
• Proof tested to 2 x working load limit, with a minimum breaking force of 6 x working load limit.
• Available in seven sizes with WLL from 0.3 t to 4.6 t.

Technical Specifications

• Working load limit: 0.3 t – 4.6 t (axial loading)
• Sizes: 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1 1/4" (BSW thread)
• Material: carbon steel (BS 970)
• Finish: zinc plated
• Standard: AS 2317
• Proof load: 2 x WLL  |  Minimum breaking force: 6 x WLL

Typical Applications

• Removable lifting points on machinery, dies, moulds and fabricated components with a rated tapped hole.
• Anchor and termination points for chain, wire rope and other lifting assemblies.
• General rigging, lifting and load positioning tasks.

Notes

Working load limits are based on axial (in-line) loading. Angular loading reduces the safe working load – always rate the eye bolt for the angle of loading. Test certificates are available on request. Inspect before each use and never exceed the rated working load limit.
