ögonbult

An ögonbult, commonly known in English as an eye bolt, is a type of fastener. It consists of a screw thread with a loop or eye at the other end. The eye is designed to be used for lifting or attaching things. Ögonbultar are typically made of metal, such as steel or stainless steel, to ensure strength and durability.

There are two main types of ögonbultar: those with a collar and those without. The collar, located beneath the eye, provides additional support and helps to distribute the load more evenly. This type is generally used for heavier applications. Ögonbultar without a collar are suitable for lighter loads.

The threaded end of the ögonbult is screwed into a solid material, such as a wall, ceiling, or piece of machinery. The eye then provides a secure point for attaching ropes, cables, chains, or other hardware for lifting, securing, or suspending objects. It is crucial to ensure that the material into which the ögonbult is screwed is strong enough to support the intended load. Overloading an ögonbult or screwing it into weak material can lead to failure and potential accidents. They are widely used in construction, rigging, marine applications, and general hardware. Proper installation and adherence to weight limits are essential for safe use.
