Galvanized Eye Bolt
Description
Forged eye bolts—also known as drop forged eye bolts—are essential hardware for securing thimbles, clevises, links, and dead-end insulators on wooden utility poles and overhead power lines. Manufactured by hot drop forging with no welded joints, these eye bolts resist breaking loads far better than welded alternatives.
Key Types of Drop Forged Eye Bolts
- Oval Eye Bolts: Featuring an over-thimble head that locks securely into clevises or dead-end insulator assemblies, oval eye bolts won’t slip out under load. Available in both regular oval and double-arming designs for added strength and redundancy.
- Shoulder (Round) Eye Bolts: With an integral shoulder to spread bearing forces, shoulder eye bolts minimize stress on wooden poles and crossarms. Ideal wherever a smooth, rounded eye and enhanced load distribution are required.
Each forged eye bolt is paired with one or more square nuts and washers to clamp firmly through pole flanges, ensuring reliable performance in rugged outdoor environments. Whether you need heavy-duty oval eye bolts for high-tension anchoring or shoulder eye bolts for balanced load bearing, our drop forged eye bolts deliver superior durability and safety for all your power-line hardware needs.
