Screw Eyes (Metric)
Metric Screw Eyes are threaded fasteners featuring a fully enclosed circular eye at one end and a male metric thread at the other. Also commonly known as Closed Eye Hooks or Threaded Screw Eyes, they provide a secure attachment point for cables, chains, ropes, wires and other suspended or tensioned components.
What are Metric Screw Eyes?
Metric Screw Eyes are designed to be screwed into a compatible female thread, threaded insert or tapped hole, creating a fixed closed-loop connection point. Unlike open hooks, the enclosed eye helps prevent attached cables, chains or fittings from slipping out during use.
They are widely used across engineering, construction, manufacturing, maintenance and general-purpose assembly applications. The metric threaded section provides straightforward installation into suitably threaded components, while the circular eye can be used with hooks, clips, shackles, cable assemblies and other connecting hardware.
Technical Specifications:
Our range of Metric Screw Eyes is available in a selection of metric thread sizes and dimensions to suit different applications. Options may include different thread lengths, eye diameters and overall lengths depending on the required size and installation.
Applications:
Metric Screw Eyes are commonly used for attaching wire rope and cables, securing chains, hanging components, creating fixing points, supporting signage, light-duty suspension applications and general engineering assemblies. They can also be used as permanent attachment points where a closed eye is preferred over an open hook.
Benefits:
The closed-eye design provides a secure connection point and helps reduce the risk of attached components becoming accidentally disengaged. Their metric machine thread also makes them suitable for repeatable installation into threaded holes, nuts and inserts, making them a practical fastening solution across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
