Eye nuts are drop forged components that provide secure connection points in electrical and structural rigging systems. The oval eye nut deadends with suspension or strain insulators, while the thimble eye nut serves span head and guying applications.
Standard eye nuts do not meet Charpy Impact requirements. Charpy Level 1.5 can be achieved by adding an “LT” suffix to the catalogue number for enhanced impact resistance in specific applications.
Available in oval eye and thimble eye configurations, eye nuts accommodate bolt sizes from 0.37 to 1.00 inches. Key dimensions include INA, INB, INC, IND, INE, and INF specifications. Minimum ultimate strengths range from 8,500 to 37,000 pounds depending on model and configuration, with unit weights typically between 0.6 and 4.6 pounds.
Premier Eye Nut Manufacturer
Lifting eye nuts are special hook nuts used for lifting objects, often referred to as lifting eyes, eye nuts, or forged eye nuts. At RaxPower, we manufacture these components in high tensile alloy steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel, ensuring durability and strength for various applications.
Our eye nuts are cold and hot forged to achieve high strength material integrity, with dimensions available in both metric and imperial sizes. Thread profiles include unified national coarse pitch (UNC), fine pitch (UNF), fixed pitch (UN), and ISO metric, catering to diverse needs. Production spans all material categories and strictly adheres to ASTM specifications, reflecting our commitment to quality and industry standards.
The manufacturing process involves precise forming methods, with a wide range of available sizes, sub-types, and thread types. Metric and imperial dimension standards are meticulously followed, and detailed weight charts and torque values are provided for accurate application. These eye nuts come in various material categories and grades, all designed to meet ASTM specifications and ensure reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What is an eye nut and what are its common applications?
An eye nut is a specialized hook nut used for lifting objects, also called a lifting eye or forged eye nut. Common applications include deadending with suspension or strain insulators, span head configurations, and guying operations.
What types and materials of eye nuts are available?
RaxPower offers Oval Eye Nuts, Thimble Eye Nuts, and Angle Eye Nuts for different applications. They are manufactured in high tensile alloy steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel using cold and hot forging processes to achieve superior strength and material integrity.
Do you provide complete eye nut solutions for large construction projects?
Yes, we supply comprehensive ranges of eye nut types with various catalog numbers, sizes, and configurations. This ensures all necessary components are available for project-based orders, providing compatibility and completeness for large-scale requirements.
What dimension standards and thread specifications are offered?
Eye nuts are available in both metric and imperial dimensions, with thread types including unified national coarse pitch (UNC), fine pitch (UNF), fixed pitch (UN), and ISO metric thread profiles, ensuring precise fit for telecommunications and power infrastructure applications.
What are the strength ratings and do they meet Charpy Impact requirements?
Ultimate strength varies by type, with values provided in pounds (LBS) for each catalog item—certain Thimble Eye Nuts reach up to 37,000 LBS. Standard eye nuts do not meet Charpy Impact requirements; however, for Charpy Level 1.5, an LT suffix can be added to the catalog number upon request.
How does your manufacturing process ensure quality and cost-effectiveness for OEM applications?
Our drop forging processes enhance strength and reduce waste, while multi-stage testing and compliance checks verify reliability under load. Documented strength ratings and industry standard manufacturing ensure performance for critical power grid applications, while efficient production methods maintain consistent quality at cost-effective pricing for OEM integration.
