Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Grade 80 High Tensile Eye Nut (10mm M10) is designed for general lifting purposes, particularly within the lifting industry where certified equipment is crucial. Its key benefit is providing a strong, durable attachment point for lifting hooks, ensuring safety and reliability. A key consideration is ensuring the load is applied correctly according to its rated Safe Working Load (SWL) to maintain safety.

FAQs

What does 'Grade 80' refer to?

'Grade 80' refers to the material strength classification for alloy steel used in overhead lifting applications. It indicates a specific level of tensile strength and heat treatment, ensuring suitability for demanding lifting tasks.

How do I determine the correct Safe Working Load (SWL)?

The SWL depends on the angle of the load. For this 10mm eye nut, the SWL is 1 Ton at 0° (direct overhead pull) and reduces to 0.4 Ton at 90° (angled pull). Always use the SWL corresponding to the actual angle of load application. Never exceed the lowest applicable SWL.

Can I use this eye nut for dynamic or shock loading?

This eye nut is designed for static lifting. Dynamic or shock loading can significantly exceed its rated capacity and cause failure. It is not recommended for applications involving sudden jerks or impacts without a thorough engineering assessment.

How do I get a test certificate?

A test certificate can be supplied via email upon request. Please contact SecureFix Direct customer support to arrange this.

What are the dimensions of the 10mm eye nut?

For the 10mm M10 size: Thread Length is 18mm, and the Eye Diameter is 25mm.

Can this eye nut be used outdoors?

While the Grade 80 material is durable, prolonged outdoor exposure can lead to rust and corrosion. For outdoor use, ensure proper storage and regular inspection, and consider using corrosion-resistant coatings or alternative materials if the environment is particularly harsh.

Troubleshooting

Eye nut spins freely and does not tighten

The mating thread is likely damaged, stripped, or not compatible (not M10). Inspect the thread on the bolt or in the tapped hole. Ensure it is an M10 thread and in good condition.

Visible deformation or cracks after use

Immediately remove the eye nut from service. This indicates the nut has been overloaded or subjected to excessive stress. Do not attempt to repair it; replace it with a new, properly rated component.

Rust or corrosion on the surface

Light surface rust can often be cleaned off with a wire brush. If the rust is deep or affects the threads or eye shape, the component may be compromised and should be replaced, especially if used in critical lifting applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for lifting applications, ensuring safety compliance.
  • Made from strong Grade 80 material for enhanced durability.
  • Versatile SWL ratings suitable for various load conditions.
  • Easy attachment with integrated eye loop.
  • Test certificates available for added assurance.

Cons

  • SWL is significantly reduced when load is applied at 90°.
  • Requires compatible M10 threaded holes or studs for installation.
  • Not suitable for dynamic or shock loading without proper engineering assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mating threaded component (e.g., bolt or tapped hole) is clean and free from obstructions.
  2. Verify that the mating thread is M10 and in good condition.
  3. Screw the eye nut onto the thread until it is fully engaged and hand-tight.
  4. For optimal performance, ensure the eye nut is seated flat against the surface and the load will be applied along the axis of the eye.

Compatibility:

  • This eye nut is designed for use with M10 threaded components.
  • It is compatible with lifting hooks, slings, and other lifting accessories designed for eye fittings.
  • Ensure all mating components are also rated for the intended load.

Care:

  • Inspect the eye nut before each use for any signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion.
  • Clean the eye nut with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Regularly check the threads for damage and ensure they remain clean.
