Eye Bolt Calculation

This document calculates the stress on lifting eye bolts used to lift a pump. It determines the smallest bolt area is at the thread root diameter. It then calculates the total pump weight, tensile load per bolt, and resultant shear force on each bolt. Based on these calculations, the stress on each bolt is 1792 psi, with a safety factor greater than 2.5. Therefore, the eye bolts and attachment method are sufficient to safely lift the pump.

LIFTING LUG STRESS CALCULATIONS
GENERAL ARRANGEMENT DRAWING 500122HE0228-229
Given:
Using 4 Lifitng Lug per Pump.
Lifting Lug material specification:

The design stress is psi one quarter from the yield strength. Min values from ASTM
The yield strength is psi Minimum values from ASTM
The tensile strength is psi Minimum values from ASTM

Assumptions
Consider the Lifting Lugs are loaded at a 90 degree angle. (much more severe than actual practice)
Will consider load in 2 dimensions
All 4 Lifting Lugs will be loaded equally.

DATA:
Ae= Area across eye of Eye bolts
De= 22.352 mm 0.88 in Cross sectional diameter in loop of eye
At= Tensile stress area for 1" - 8UNC
D= 25.4 mm 1 in Basic Diameter
p= 3.175 mm 0.125 in Eye bolt Screw thread pitch
F= 1406.9 kg 3101.77 lb Total weight of the pump and driver
Fu= 351.73 kg 775.4425 lb Tensile Load per eye bolt
Fr= Resultant Shear load
Shear Stress = Eye bolt shear stress

EQUATIONS:

Ae= 2 x (3.1416 x De2) / 4

At=(3.1416 / 4)(D - 0.938194 * p)2

Fr= ((Fu)2+(Fu)2)1/2

Shear Stress = Fr / At

1. Determine smallest area where highest stress level will be realized

a. Area across eye of eye bolt.

Ae = 2x (3.1416 x 0.882) / 4 = 1.216 in2


784.8 mm2

b. Tensile Stress Area (At) for 1" - 8UNC

At= (3.1416 / 4) x (25.4 - 0.938194 x 3.175) 2 = 0.612 in2


394.76 mm2

Then Highest stress level will occur at small diameter at thread.= 0.612 in 2
2. Determine the Resultant force applied to Eye bolt.

As stated above the bolts are assumed loaded at a 45 degree angle. See fig.2

fig.2

The pure tensile load per eye bolts will be F/4

As the load is applied at 45 degrees there will be a shear load.

The resultant shear load on each bolt (Fr) will be

Fr= ((775.44)2 + (775.44)2)1/2 = 1097 lb 497.428 kg

3. Determine the stress on bolt due to resultant force, Fr

Shear Stress = 1096.6 / 0.612 = 1792 psi 12.3666 Mpa

Safety Factor over the design stress

SFds= 0.0

5. Conclusion

Reviewing the design of the lifting eye for this applications the weakest point is the at the root diameter of the threads
of the eye bolt. Based on the calculations there is a safety factor greater than 2.5 and the eye bolts and the method of
attachement are sufficient to handle the load when lifting the pump and motor.

One note, while the calculations show the eye bolts are capable of handling a higher load then ASME B18.15 indicates we
would only rate them for the load according to ASME B18.15. The calcuations are only to confirm the adequacy of the
design not to allow a higher load then ASME B18.15.
