Quick answer

What is an MS eye bolt?

An MS eye bolt is a mild-steel fastener with a circular eye at one end and a threaded shank at the other. Screwed into a tapped hole or secured with a nut, it creates a defined attachment point for anchoring, suspension or handling once its size, thread and load direction are confirmed.

Also known asMild steel eye bolt · Threaded eye bolt · Lifting eye bolt (where rated)

Key takeaways

  • Mild steel suits general indoor and protected industrial service.
  • Thread size, shank length and eye dimensions define the part.
  • Load direction matters: eye bolts are strongest in line with the shank.
  • Lifting use requires a confirmed rating and applicable standard.

How MS Eye Bolts Work in Practice

The MS eye bolt is one of the most widely used connection points in industrial assembly. Its eye accepts a shackle, hook, rope or link, while the threaded shank transfers the load into the parent component.

Its suitability depends on more than diameter alone. Eye geometry, thread engagement, mounting surface, load direction, finish and service environment all influence the correct selection. Lohar Industrial Fasteners reviews these inputs before confirming the supply scope.

Common MS Eye Bolt Forms

01

Collared (shoulder) pattern

A collar seats against the mounting surface, improving resistance to angular loading when fully seated.

02

Plain shank pattern

No collar; intended mainly for in-line loading where the force acts along the shank axis.

03

Long shank with nut

Passes through a clearance hole and is secured with a nut and washer on the far side.

04

Forged or formed eye

The eye can be forged integrally or formed from bar; the production route is confirmed against the requirement.

How to Choose the Right MS Eye Bolt

01

Load Direction

State whether the force acts in line with the shank or at an angle. Angular loading reduces capacity and usually calls for a collared pattern.

02

Thread Engagement

Confirm diameter, pitch, usable thread length and the receiving connection so engagement can be reviewed as one system.

03

Mounting Condition

Share the mounting surface, through-hole or tapped-hole arrangement and any washer or nut requirement.

04

Service Environment

Indoor, outdoor, moisture and corrosion exposure inform the finish, or a move to stainless steel.

Safety note

Lifting and load-bearing products must be selected against a confirmed working load limit, the applicable standard and the actual rigging arrangement. Never use a part beyond its marked or documented rating, and inspect before every use.

MS Eye Bolt vs SS Eye Bolt

Both share the same eye-and-thread form. The choice mainly follows the service environment and budget.
