M5-M24 A2 304 Stainless Steel Partially Threaded Forged Eye Bolts with Rings for Wire Rope & Hanging

Match the thread diameter (M5–M24) to your existing nut or tapped hole. For length, measure the material thickness you're threading into and add at least 1.5× the bolt diameter for adequate thread engagement. For example, an M8 bolt generally needs at least 12 mm of thread engagement. Lengths in this listing range from 45 mm (≈1.8") to 200 mm (≈7.9") — select the size that gives you full thread engagement plus clearance for a nut if needed.

Load capacity varies by size. As a general guideline, forged A2 304 stainless eye bolts typically support working loads ranging from approximately 100 kg for M5 up to 2,000 kg or more for M24, when loaded axially and properly installed. Always consult a load table and apply an appropriate safety factor for your specific application. Never exceed the rated working load limit.

Yes. A2 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance and is generally suitable for outdoor, coastal, and light marine environments. For highly aggressive saltwater immersion or chemical exposure, A4 316 stainless steel is typically recommended instead. In most outdoor and covered marine applications, these 304 stainless forged eye bolts perform reliably over the long term.

These eye bolts use standard ISO metric coarse threads (M5 through M24), which are compatible with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes commonly used in construction, rigging, and DIY projects. They are not compatible with UNC/UNF (imperial) threads — please verify your hardware uses metric sizing before ordering.

Forged eye bolts are shaped under high pressure from solid bar stock, resulting in a denser grain structure and significantly higher strength and fatigue resistance compared to stamped (pressed sheet metal) eye bolts. Forged versions are the correct choice for load-bearing, lifting, or rigging applications. Stamped eye bolts are generally only appropriate for very light decorative or non-load-bearing uses.

These forged eye bolts are designed for hanging and rigging applications. For certified overhead lifting, always verify the working load limit (WLL) for your specific size, ensure the bolt is fully and correctly installed perpendicular to the load direction, and comply with applicable safety standards and regulations in your region. Angled loading typically reduces the rated capacity — consult a load angle factor chart for off-axis applications.

The closed forged ring is compatible with wire rope, chain, carabiners, shackles, hooks, and turnbuckles. It is commonly used for hanging signs, pendant lights, swings, cable management systems, tensioning rigs, and general rigging setups. Ensure the connecting hardware (shackle, carabiner, etc.) is rated for at least the same load as the eye bolt.
