A ring bolt has a metal ring at one end and a threaded shank at the base, with a second larger interlocking ring for flexibility. They are used in various applications and come in different sizes and materials. To install, drill holes and screw in place. Eyebolts have a single ring while ring bolts have an additional ring that can handle forces from an angle.
A ring bolt is a special type of fastener that features a forged metal ring at one end, with a standard threaded shank at the base. A second larger metal ring interlocks with the forged first ring. This second ring allows objects to be securely attached to the ring bolt while retaining a degree of flexibility. One ring bolt design allows the second ring to rotate or articulate around the shank, allowing force to be absorbed from multiple angles.
These bolts can be used in a wide variety of applications including residential and commercial projects. They are often installed in the ground to help secure covers or tarps over equipment. They can also be installed along truck or boat beds to hold specialty covers in place. An eyebolt is also useful for connecting support cables or tying wires to the ground, such as those used to support a tent or canopy.
Before installing eye bolts, users should take the time to select the correct bolt for each application. These bolts can vary in size and diameter, which affects strength and holding power. Bolts with a thicker and heavier construction can typically handle higher loads than smaller bolts. The size of the ring should also be matched to the object being fastened, whether it be a chain link, cable, or other fastener. Finally, users should evaluate different materials, such as steel or brass, and find the one that best meets the needs of the project.
To install an eyebolt, users must first drill holes large enough to accommodate the shank of the bolt. The bolt can be screwed into place by hand or using a wrench or pliers. If the bolt is used in an application where the stem end is exposed, a nut is often used to hold it in place. Depending on the application, these bolts can be used in materials ranging from wood to masonry.
While the eyebolt shares a number of features with the standard eyebolt, these two fasteners are designed for different types of projects. The eyebolt has a single ring forged into the top of the shank, while the eyebolt has an additional ring that articulates around this first forged ring. This means that the eyebolt is designed to absorb forces directly from above or below, while the eyebolt can handle forces from an angle. The knuckle ring on the eyebolt means the fastener is less likely to bend or break when subjected to an angular force.
