Swing Bolts

Partially-Thread-Swing-Eye-Bolts

Swing bolts, also known as hinge bolts, live joint bolts or eye bolts, consist of a smooth, perforated spherical head and a threaded rod. One end is fixed at a pivot point, while the other end can swing freely into a locked position. When used together with a nut, swing bolts provide excellent holding strength. They are commonly used in mechanical equipment that requires quick fastening and releasing.

Swing Bolts: FAQ Guide

The swing bolt assembly includes a threaded rod, a spherical head with a hole, a retaining ring or pin, washers, and a nut or lifting lug.

  • Wrench or torque wrench (to tighten the nut).
  • Screwdriver or drill (to secure the pivot).
  • Lubricant (to maintain the pivot).

The head of a swing bolt can rotate, making it suitable for scenarios requiring quick disassembly or adjustment without completely removing the bolt.

Use self-locking nuts or spring washers, and regularly check the clamping force and bolt condition.
