Eye bolts & Eye nuts

At PS Stage we want to be your ally in the world of professional equipment for stages and events. We know that each component is essential for the success of a production, and one of the key accessories to guarantee safety and stability in stage settings are eyebolts.

What is an Eyebolt?

The eyebolt is an essential lifting accessory in the events and stage set-up industry. Its design consists of a ring or ring with a threaded or perforated base that allows it to be fixed to different types of surfaces, creating a safe anchoring point to suspend or secure elements on the stage. Eyebolts are used to secure heavy equipment, such as lights, sets, and sound elements, that need to be safely suspended.

What is a Lifting Eyebolt?

A lifting eyebolt is a type of eyebolt specifically designed to support heavy weight loads. Lifting eyes are made of high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, and are rigorously tested to ensure their load capacity. These eyebolts are frequently used in scenarios where it is necessary to move or support heavy equipment at height. By buying lifting eyes online, you guarantee the strength and durability you need to work with loads in safe conditions.

How does an Eyebolt Work?

The operation of an eyebolt is simple but effective. The eyebolt's threaded or drilled base allows it to be screwed or secured to suitable surfaces such as beams or supporting structures. Once installed, the eyebolt ring acts as an anchor point, facilitating the passage of slings, shackles, cables or other accessories used to lift or secure loads. At PS Stage, we make sure our eyebolts comply with safety regulations, so you can trust that each part performs optimally under pressure.

Types of Eyebolts

At PS Stage we know that each assembly is unique and that the needs vary depending on the type of stage and the loads to be handled. Below, we explain the main types of eyebolts that you can find in our store.

Open Eyebolts

Open eyebolts are characterized by having an opening in the ring, which allows ropes or cables to be passed without having to disconnect the eyebolt from the system. This type of eyebolt is very useful in assemblies that require frequent handling of the equipment, facilitating the quick connection and disconnection of cables or slings. They are an excellent option if you need a versatile and quick solution.

Closed Eyebolts

Closed eyebolts, on the other hand, have a completely closed ring, providing greater anchoring security and ensuring that cables or slings will not accidentally slide out of the eyebolt. These eyebolts are ideal for fixed loads or when additional security is a priority. By buying closed eyebolts online, you can be sure that you will have a robust and reliable anchor point, perfect for scenarios where loads remain in a constant position.

Male Eyebolts and Female Eyebolts

Another fundamental aspect to take into account is the type of thread of the eyebolts. At PS Stage, we have male eyebolts and female eyebolts, each with its specific characteristics and applications:

• Male Eyebolt: This type of eyebolt has an external thread, which allows it to be screwed directly into a surface with a female thread or into other compatible accessories. Male eyebolts are ideal for structures with prefabricated threads, as they facilitate quick and safe assembly.
• Female Eyebolt: Unlike the male eyebolt, the female eyebolt has an internal thread that allows a screw or bolt to be inserted. They are perfect for assemblies in which the eyebolt needs to be secured with greater stability and for jobs where a more personalized assembly is required.

Materials and Finishes of Eyebolts for Stages

At PS Stage, the eyebolts are made of high quality materials and with finishes that guarantee their durability and resistance, even in extreme conditions:

• Galvanized Steel: Galvanized steel eyebolts have a protective layer that makes them resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor settings or in environments with high humidity.
• Stainless Steel: If you are looking for maximum resistance to corrosion and impeccable aesthetics, stainless steel is the ideal option. These eyebolts are perfect for long-term assembly outdoors or in maritime environments.

Why Choose Professional Eyebolts for Events?

Safety and efficiency are essential in any stage setup. The professional event eyebolts that we offer at PS Stage are designed and tested to ensure that each connection and anchor is safe, reliable and easy to install. In addition, we have a variety of types and finishes that adapt to any need, whether for concerts, plays, outdoor shows or exhibitions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stage Eyebolts

What is the difference between an open eyebolt and a closed one?

An open eyebolt has an opening in the ring, allowing easy access to cables or slings, while the closed eyebolt provides a secure anchorage for fixed loads, preventing cables from accidentally slipping.

What is the best material for an outdoor eyebolt?

Stainless steel eyebolts offer the best resistance outdoors, especially in humid conditions or in marine environments. You can also opt for galvanized steel if you need a cheaper but equally corrosion-resistant solution.

What weight can a lifting eye support?

The load capacity of lifting eyebolts varies depending on their design and material. At PS Stage, we specify the load capacity of each eyebolt so you can choose the right one for the weight of your equipment.

How do you install a male eye bolt?

A male eyebolt screws directly into a surface with a female thread or into a compatible fitting. It is important to ensure that the eyebolt is securely fastened and that the installation surface can support the load.

Can I reuse the eyebolts for different events?

Yes, the eyebolts are reusable as long as they are not damaged or worn. We recommend checking them before each assembly to ensure their optimal condition and avoid risks.
