A sling eye should never be used over a hook or pin with a body diameter larger than the natural width of the eye. Never force an eye over a hook.
|
| Conversely, the eye should always be used on a hook or pin with a diameter at least equal to that of the wire rope. |
|
|
 |
D/d ratio is the ratio of the diameter around which the sling is bent divided by the body diameter of the sling. Tests have shown that whenever a sling body is bent around a diameter, the strength of the sling is decreased. |
| The capacities in our web site are based on the minimum D/d ratios that are noted on each wire rope sling page. For more severe bending conditions, contact our customer service department for revised capacities. |
