Lifting eye bolt cimco M5 zinc-plated steel — model 142144 for cable and small device fastening

cimco M5 zinc-plated steel lifting eye model 142144 provides a compact, threaded eye for fastening cables and small devices where an M5 fixing point is required. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, this lifting eye delivers a corrosion-resistant contact surface and a stable attachment point for routing, securing, or anchoring lightweight components in installation and maintenance tasks. Its small size and standard M5 thread make it compatible with many panels, enclosures, and fixtures that accept metric machine screws.

Advantages

The zinc-plated steel construction offers increased resistance to surface corrosion compared with bare steel while maintaining dimensional accuracy of the M5 thread. The closed eye shape provides a defined anchoring loop for cable ties, straps, or hooked fasteners, reducing slippage and improving cable routing. The compact design minimizes protrusion from mounting surfaces and is suitable for tight spaces where a standard-sized lifting eye would be too large.

Suitable for

• Fastening and routing electrical cables in control panels and cabinets
• Securing small devices, sensors, or accessories to metal enclosures
• Providing attachment points for straps, ties or safety lanyards
• Temporary or permanent anchoring in maintenance and assembly work

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 metric thread
• Material: zinc-plated steel
• Eye form: closed circular loop suitable for ties and hooks
• Mounting method: threaded into tapped or through-hole with nut
• Typical applications: cable management, light device fastening, anchoring points

How to use

Drill and tap a hole or use an existing M5 threaded hole in the mounting surface. Screw the lifting eye in until the base of the eye meets the surface; where through-holes are used, secure with a suitable nut on the opposite side to ensure mechanical retention. Route cables, straps or lanyards through the eye and secure them according to the application's load and safety requirements. For repeatable positioning, mark thread depth or use a torque-limiting driver respecting the material strength of the mounted panel.

Recommendations

Verify the mechanical load requirements before use: this item is intended for cable management and light device fastening. Do not assume suitability for heavy lifting; follow relevant safety standards and manufacturer guidance for load-bearing applications and ensure corrosion protection is appropriate for the environment.
