The Galvanized DIN580 Lifting Eye Bolt refers to a lifting eye bolt that adheres to the DIN 580 standard, designed for lifting applications.
It is coated with a layer of zinc through galvanization to enhance its corrosion resistance.
Here’s an overview of its key features:
Key Features:
1. Standard:
• DIN 580 is the German standard for lifting eye bolts, which specifies the design and dimensions for lifting eye bolts intended for use in lifting operations.
2. Material:
• Typically made from carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on the required strength and environment. The galvanization process is often applied to carbon steel to protect it from rust and corrosion.
3. Galvanization:
• The galvanization process involves coating the bolt with zinc, which provides corrosion protection, particularly in outdoor environments or those exposed to moisture. This is especially important for lifting applications where the bolts might be subjected to harsh weather conditions.
4. Design:
• The eye bolt features a large loop or eye for easy attachment of lifting slings or hooks.
• It is designed to be threaded for secure installation into a variety of materials (e.g., metal, wood, or concrete), ensuring the lifting point is secure.
5. Applications:
• Commonly used in lifting and hoisting operations, including in construction, machinery maintenance, or transportation. It provides a reliable point of attachment for lifting heavy objects.
6. Load Capacity:
• The load capacity is determined by the material of the bolt, size, and the quality of the galvanization, as well as the specific design standards set by DIN 580.
• Always ensure that the correct load rating is chosen for the specific lifting application.
7. Finish:
• Galvanized finishes offer improved durability and longevity, making them suitable for outdoor or marine environments where rust resistance is crucial.
Common Applications:
• Construction sites: Lifting and securing materials or heavy machinery. • Shipping and logistics: Hoisting goods during transport or storage.
• Industrial applications: Lifting components in warehouses, factories, and other industrial settings.
Make sure to always verify the exact specifications of the eye bolt, including dimensions, thread size, and load rating, as they can vary based on the manufacturer or intended use.
