Working Load Limit - WLLs are applicable when
the stated load is applied along the vertical axis of
the eyebolt.
Safe Working Load - SWLs are applicable when
used for specific lifting configurations under different
working conditions.
Safety Factor - Both metric & imperial eyebolts
have a safety factor of 6:1.
All thread forms must be checked prior to installation.
Thread Selection - Extreme care must be
exercised in ensuring that an eyebolt's thread form &
the thread form in the corresponding hole or nut is the
same.
Collar & Face Seating - In order to achieve the
WLLs shown, the collar face & the contacting face must
be flat, smooth, & must be perpendicular to the threaded
hole.
Eyebolt Maintenance - When eyebolts are reused,
it is strongly recommended that
they are critically examined periodically for wear on
the thread form or for any bruising.
Correct Fitting of Eyebolt Pairs - When using
eyebolts in pairs, it is essential that care be taken to
properly align them. Eyebolts must not
be forced into alignment as over stressing will reduce
their safe working load.
Should
misalignment occur at the first fitting, the following
actions should be taken:
