What Are the Different Types of Eye Bolts?

In this section, we’ll added some terms you may be familiar with, including: Shouldered Eye Bolts, Forged Eye Bolts, Nut Eye Bolts, and Machinery Eye Bolts.

Special types of Eye Bolt include:

Anchor Eye Bolts: Eye bolts with some form of Anchor Bolt to enable fastening into masonry structures.

Screw Eyes (or Eye Screws): The are similar to an Eye Bolt but with a wood screw in place of a machine screw. These are used for attaching an eye to wood or plastic structures. Small screw eyes are used to hang picture frames and curtain wire.

Ring Bolts:An Eye Bolt with a captive ring passing through the eye of the head, effectively forming two chain links. This can reduce bending forces on an Eye Bolt.

Eye Nut:An Eye Nut is actually a nut which serves the same purpose as an Eye Bolt, although they are sometimes identified as Eye Bolts in catalogs.

Pigtail Eye Bolts:These are a formed from a length of bar, similar to ordinary low strength Eye Bolts, but the head is bent into a helix so that it does not fully close on itself but can continue past 360 degrees. This allows the middle of a rope to be threaded into the eye without requiring access to an end.

Roller Eye Bolts:These are designed to guide a rope or cable so that it can pass smoothly with minimal friction. The head is actually an assembly with four rollers retaining the rope which passes through it.
