Nuts and Bolts

Eye bolts are a type of bolt type that has a loop at one end which can have a string, cable and rope thread through it, often for the purpose of lifting. They are used in many industries including manufacturing, distribution and storage.

Eye nuts are great for attaching ropes or cables to anywhere an eye nut can be attached. They are capable of dealing with loads of weight which makes them perfect for dealing with high capacity lifting needs. Lifting eye nuts can be used individually or alongside various types of lifting gear in almost any kind of environment.

A self-locking nut has a small pre-installed plastic insert or a chemical substance deform elastically to create a locking motion which withstands various torques and vibrations. They are commonly used in heavy-duty applications, such as construction and engineering.

Slotted nuts are also commonly called castellated nut, or castle nut. They are used in applications that need a guarantee that vibrations will not undo any fixing, including in automotive assemblies. They are identified by their grooved heads which align with holes in a mated bolt so that they accept the insertion of a cotter pin.
