At JM Hardware®, we are a trusted eye bolt manufacturer dedicated to producing durable, reliable, and high-quality eye bolts for industrial, construction, marine, and heavy-duty applications. Eye bolts are a critical fastener type, used primarily for lifting, rigging, and securing loads. With years of experience and advanced manufacturing capabilities, JM Hardware® delivers eye bolts that meet and exceed industry standards, offering exceptional performance across diverse industries.
What is an Eye Bolt?
Aneye bolt is a type of fastener featuring a loop (eye) at one end and a threaded shaft on the other. Its primary function is to serve as a connection point for lifting equipment, rigging systems, or tension cables. Eye bolts are essential in applications requiring secure and durable attachments under heavy loads, making them indispensable in industrial and commercial operations.
Types of Eye Bolts We Manufacture
At JM Hardware®, we manufacture a variety of eye bolts to suit diverse applications:

Forged Eye Bolts:
Made from one solid piece of steel, providing unmatched strength and durability for heavy loads.

Shoulder Eye Bolts:
Designed for angular loads and tension applications, preventing deformation under stress.

Plain Eye Bolts:
Ideal for vertical loads, commonly used in simple lifting and securing tasks.

Swivel Eye Bolts:
Rotating eye bolts that prevent tangling of attached cables or ropes, ideal for dynamic loads.

Lag Eye Bolts:
Featuring a screw-like thread, they are designed for wood or soft material installations.

Heavy-Duty Eye Bolts:
Built for extreme loads, often used in construction and industrial lifting applications.

Custom Eye Bolts:
Tailored to meet unique specifications, including size, material, and design.
Materials Used for Eye Bolts
We manufacture eye bolts using premium materials to ensure durability, strength, and resistance to environmental challenges. Our material options include:

Carbon Steel:

Used in high-stress and high-temperature applications due to its exceptional strength and fatigue resistance.

Galvanized Steel:
Coated to resist rust and corrosion, perfect for outdoor and industrial settings.

Brass and Bronze
Non-sparking and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for electrical and hazardous environments.

Titanium
Lightweight and resistant to extreme temperatures and corrosion, often used in aerospace and marine applications.

Duplex Stainless Steel:
Combines high strength with excellent resistance to chloride corrosion, perfect for coastal and offshore installations.
Surface Treatments for Enhanced Performance
To enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics, we offer various surface finishes for our eye bolts:

Zinc Plating:
Offers moderate rust resistance and is commonly used in general-purpose applications.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing:
Provides superior protection against corrosion, ideal for outdoor applications.

Powder Coating:
Adds a durable, protective layer with color options for custom applications.

Electropolishing:
Provides a smooth, shiny finish and enhances corrosion resistance for stainless steel eye bolts.

Teflon Coating:
Non-stick and chemical-resistant, suitable for extreme environments.

Black Oxide Coating:
Adds a sleek black finish and light corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor or low-humidity environments.

Phosphate Coating:
Improves wear resistance and reduces friction in mechanical applications.
