2INOX-STAR
Before every use, please read the Safety
Instruction of the INOX-STAR carefully
and make sure that you understand all
substance.
Improper use or care of this eyebolt can
result in bodily injury or property damage
and eliminates any warranty!
1 Application and warning information
WARNING
Improper assembled or damaged INOX-
STAR and inappropriate use can result in
deadly injury or lead to heavy injuries when
load drops. Inspect the INOX-STAR before
each use carefully!
The INOX-STAR must only be used by competent and
trained people with adequate knowledge respecting
BGR/DGUV 100-500 requirements, and outside Ger-
many the corresponding country specic requirements
must be utilised.
2 Intended use of INOX-STAR
The eyebolt INOX-STAR can be used as a lifting point
in general.
The INOX-STAR must not be used when load
swivels, because the INOX-STAR could turn loose.
The lifting point must only be used up to the maximum
required WLL (see chart 2).
The INOX-STAR eyebolt must only be used in the
hereby specied application.
3 Material properties
The utilised stainless Duplex-steel 1.4462 for the
body and the bolt has a good resistance against
wear and local corrosion like pitting, crevice corrosion
and stress corrosion cracking in sea water and high
chloride and H2S containing media.
This steel is very common in the construction industry,
chemical industry, oil industry, food industry (only
limited resistance against lactic acid), in the machine
engineering for example, as REA-components and
transport boxes, in desalting plants at OFF-Shore
areas like shipbuilding.
The material can also be utilised in the nuclear in-
dustry as far as nuclear technical requirements or
object specications do allow the usage (according
to VdTÜV 418).
HINT
The material must not be used in the
following areas:
Load bearing parts in indoor swimming pool
atmospheres, which are neither permanent
rinsed with water nor cleaned, if their failure
could cause serious personal injury.
For example when used as connecting
element for a suspended ceiling, pendents
or loudspeakers or for the xation of water
slides or any other construction elements (read
ISER-Merkblatt 831).
4 Installation information
4.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
The stainless steel PSA-INOX-STAR eye bolts can
be used in the temperature range between -60°C
up to 280°C (according to VdTÜV 418).
• RUD lifting points must not be used under chemical
inuences such as acids, alkaline solutions and
vapours. Please observe chapter 2, Intended use
of INOX-STAR and chapter 3 Material properties.
4.2 Assembly information
1. The material construction to which the lifting point
will be attached should be of adequate strength to
withstand forces during lifting without deformation
(certicate of static forces). Rm > 340 N/mm²
For steel of the strength S235JR (1.0037) or Cast
iron GG 25 (0.6025 - without blowhole) the bolt
length should be 1,5xM (=L).
When lifting light metals, nonferrous metals
and gray cast iron or other materials the thread
has to be chosen in such a way that the WLL
of the thread corresponds to the requirements
of the corresponding base material. For ma-
terial with lower strength, please use lifting
points with longer thread engagement.
German employers insurance association (BG/
DGUV) recommends the following minimum
thread engagement lengths:
2 x M in aluminium alloys
2,5 x M in light metal with low strength.
Please choose for light metals, nonferrous metals
and grey cast iron or other materials the thread
has to be chosen in such a way that the WLL of
the thread corresponds to the requirements of the
corresponding base material.
2. The bolting location for the eyebolt should be mar-
ked with paint.
3. The eyebolt should be installed as follows:
- the coupling element must be free moveable,
- locate lifting point in such a way that prohibited
loading, like turning or ipping of the load will be
avoided:
- Single fall lifting: vertical, above centre of
gravity.
- Double leg lifting: over and at each side
of the centre of gravity.
- Three- or 4 leg lifting: equal in the same
level around centre of gravity.
