Description
US Type Electric Galvanized Eye & Eye Turnbuckle
The US Type Electric Galvanized Eye & Eye
Turnbuckle is a steel tensioning component
designed for controlled adjustment of tension and
length in wire rope, cable, fencing, structural
bracing and general industrial tensioning systems.
Featuring closed eye fittings at both ends,
this turnbuckle allows connection to compatible
shackles, pins, pad eyes and other suitable
attachment hardware.
The adjustable central body incorporates
right-hand and left-hand threaded end fittings.
Rotating the body adjusts the overall assembly
length and tension without requiring the
connected cable to rotate.
The electric galvanized (electroplated zinc)
finish provides a protective zinc coating
and a clean metallic appearance.
It is generally suitable for indoor installations
and relatively dry environments where moderate
corrosion protection is required.

Product Construction
The Electric Galvanized Eye & Eye Turnbuckle
consists of two closed eye fittings joined by an
adjustable central turnbuckle body.
Each closed eye provides a connection point
for compatible rigging hardware.
Unlike clevis jaw fittings, closed eyes do not
incorporate an integral removable jaw pin.
The opposing threaded ends allow controlled
adjustment of the turnbuckle length and tension.
The zinc electroplated surface provides corrosion
protection appropriate to the installation environment.

Electric Galvanized vs. Hot-Dip Galvanized
| Feature | Electric Galvanized | Hot-Dip Galvanized |
|---|---|---|
| Coating Method | Zinc Electroplating | Immersion in Molten Zinc |
| Typical Coating | Thinner Zinc Layer | Thicker Zinc Layer |
| Appearance | Smooth Metallic Finish | Often Duller or More Textured |
| Corrosion Protection | Moderate | Generally Higher |
| Typical Environment | Indoor / Relatively Dry | Outdoor / More Exposed |
Coating performance depends on zinc thickness,
environmental exposure and maintenance.
Neither finish alone establishes the product’s
Working Load Limit.
Typical Applications
- Wire Rope and Cable Tensioning
- Indoor Structural Bracing
- Fencing and Barrier Support
- Light-Duty Cable Installations
- Industrial Equipment Adjustment
- Workshop and Maintenance Applications
- General Tensioning Systems
Application suitability depends on the actual
product rating and installation requirements.
How to Select the Correct Eye & Eye Turnbuckle
- Thread Diameter:
Select the appropriate size for the installation. - Take-Up Length:
Determine the required adjustment travel. - Working Load Limit:
Confirm whether the supplied model is load-rated
and suitable for the intended application. - Eye Dimensions:
Verify the eye opening and compatibility with
connecting shackles or pins. - Open & Closed Length:
Confirm overall dimensions before installation. - Environment:
Ensure the electro-galvanized coating is suitable
for the expected exposure conditions. - Quantity:
Specify the required quantity when requesting
a quotation.
Important Safety Information
- Use only within the manufacturer’s specified load rating.
- Apply straight, in-line tension unless otherwise approved.
- Avoid side loading, bending and angular loading.
- Inspect both eye fittings for damage and deformation.
- Inspect the central body and threaded rods.
- Ensure adequate thread engagement.
- Use compatible connecting hardware.
- Do not use damaged or excessively corroded components.
- Do not use for overhead lifting unless the manufacturer specifically approves and rates the product for lifting.
