Shoulder Eye Bolts

Product Overview:

Shoulder eye bolts, also known as “shoulder pattern” eye bolts, are designed to attach suspension and dead-end insulators, clevises, links, and other hardware to poles and cross-arms. These bolts feature an integral collar that provides a broad bearing surface, which resists elongation of the bolt hole in wood poles and cross-arms, ensuring stability and reliability in various applications.

Structural Features:

1. Forged, One-Piece Design:
   • Constructed with a 3/4″ diameter, these shoulder eye bolts are forged from a single piece of high-strength steel, ensuring durability and resistance to mechanical stress.
2. Integral Collar:
   • The integral collar provides a broad bearing surface that helps resist elongation of the bolt hole, enhancing the stability of the attachment in wood poles and cross-arms.
3. Supplied Assembled with Square Nut:
   • Each shoulder eye bolt is supplied assembled with a square nut, ensuring ease of installation and secure fastening.
4. Ultimate Tensile Strength:
   • Designed to withstand an ultimate tensile strength of 20,050 lbs, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Installation Method:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure that all necessary tools and materials are available before starting the installation process. Verify the specifications of the shoulder eye bolts to ensure compatibility with the hardware and structure.
2. Positioning:
   • Position the shoulder eye bolt at the desired location on the pole or cross-arm, aligning it with the pre-drilled hole.
3. Inserting Bolts:
   • Insert the shoulder eye bolt through the aligned holes of the hardware and the structure.
4. Securing Bolts:
   • Tighten the square nut on the threaded end of the bolt using appropriate tools to ensure a firm and secure connection.
5. Inspection:
   • Inspect the installation to ensure the bolt is properly tightened and the hardware is securely attached.

Applicable Environmental Conditions:

1. Temperature Range:
   • Suitable for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C, ensuring performance in extreme weather conditions.
2. Humidity:
   • Can operate effectively in environments with relative humidity up to 95%, providing reliability in moist conditions.
3. Weather Resistance:
   • Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, and UV exposure.
4. Corrosive Environments:
   • The galvanized coating or other anti-corrosion treatments make shoulder eye bolts suitable for environments with exposure to corrosive elements such as salt, chemicals, or industrial pollutants.
