Eyebolts—For Lifting

Create a secure attachment point for hooks, shackles, and other lifting equipment. Also known as machinery eyebolts, these eyebolts are used to lift heavy machines and materials. They have a closed eye that won’t bend under strain.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people. Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only.

Steel


With Shoulder	Without Shoulder

With Shoulder—Use for lifting at angles up to 45° or for vertical lifting. Because angular lifting significantly reduces the eyebolt’s capacity, we recommend hoist rings for heavy loads.

Without Shoulder—For vertical lifting only.

Ball Joint Rod Ends

Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They don’t come lubricated, so you’ll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.

Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

With at least 55° of ball swivel, these rod ends accommodate greater misalignment than any other externally threaded rod end we offer. They generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. A PTFE liner allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.

Zinc-Plated Alloy Steel—Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide more corrosion resistance than black-oxide steel.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends

A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

Ball Joint Rod Ends with Nut

For ease of installation, these rod ends come with a compatible jam nut. They have an eyelet and a ball that swivel to support angular misalignment. All are carbon steel, so they handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. However, they don’t resist corrosion. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.

High-Load Ball Joint Rod Ends

These steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends. PTFE allows smooth rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.

Nylon/PTFE Insert—Rod ends with Nylon/PTFE insert have a durable, self-sealing insert that reduces wear.

Zinc-Plated Alloy Steel Insert—Rod ends with zinc-plated steel insert provide moderate corrosion resistance.
