A padeye provides a safe attachment point to lift a structure safely and is often

welded to a structure, or is an integrated part of a larger structure. A basic pad eye
consists out of plate with a outer radius and a hole that ts a shackle, of enough
capacity, to lift the structure safely.

The calculator above can be used to determine the required geometry of a structural
sound and safe pad eye. By lling in the required minimum breaking load and
dimensions it calculates the axial/bending, shear and equivalent stress in the
sections A-A and B-B.

The following is assumed for the calculations:

Any in-plane angle α is allowed, the governing angle α being  +/- β is veri ed;
Material of the pad eye is steel with a minimum yield stress as speci ed in the
calculation;
The pin of the shackle has a loose t in the pad eye, causing additional bending in
the sections;
Hertz bearing stress is assumed not to be signi cant since it is no failure
mechanism;
The weld of the base of the pad eye, bottom part in the gure above the calculator,
is also required to be veri ed in another calculation.
