Product Overview
Product Application
DIN 580 is a standard lifting eye bolt with sizes ranging from M6 to M100. It features a high-strength forged ring head and a metric threaded shank, and specifies the dimensions, materials, mechanical properties, and technical requirements for shoulder-ring-type mechanical threaded lifting eye bolts.
This standard is designed to provide a safe lifting point for machinery, molds, motors, steel structures, industrial equipment, and heavy components, and is widely used in the construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, renewable energy, mining, and heavy engineering industries.

Technical Points & Safety Guidelines
-
Technical Points
- Safety Factor: The design safety factor is typically 5:1 or 6:1.
- Temperature Range: Can be used normally at ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +200°C without any reduction in load-bearing capacity.
- Matching Standard: The matching eye nut complies with DIN 582.
-
Safety Guidelines
- Must be fully tightened: The stepped surface (shoulder) of the lifting eye bolt must be 100% in contact with the surface of the load; gaps are strictly prohibited.
- Matching Base Material Strength: The load-bearing thread length of the mounting base (blind hole) must be sufficient, and the mechanical strength of the base material must not be lower than that of the eye bolt itself.
- Note on Lateral Load Reduction: DIN 580 eye bolts are best suited for vertical, linear lifting. If used for angled lifting (subject to lateral forces), their Working Load Limit (WLL) will decrease significantly.
Product Advantages
Monoblock Maintenance-Free
No moving parts or bearings. Resistant to dust and corrosion, offering high environmental resilience and low cost.
Global Standardization
Strictly standardized dimensions and load limits ensure predictable mechanics and seamless global interchangeability.
Common Questions
Can DIN 580 eye bolts be used for side-pulling?
Yes, but only up to 45° within the eye plane. Pulling perpendicular to the eye ring or exceeding 45° is strictly prohibited due to bending risks.
Why is drop-forging mandatory for DIN 580?
Forging ensures continuous grain flow and eliminates internal voids. This maximizes tensile toughness and guarantees visible deformation instead of sudden brittle snapping.
Can DIN 580 lifting eye bolts be reused?
The hole diameter should generally be 70% to 85% of the screw's nominal diameter (e.g., 3.2mm–3.5mm for an ST 4.2 screw). Harder or thicker materials require larger pilot holes to prevent head breakage during installation.
What is the installation requirement for the collar?
The collar must seat perfectly flush against the mating surface. Use shim washers if the bolt bottoms out before full contact is made.
