OEM 860178173 The XCMG Eye Bolt 860178173 is a genuine forged lifting eye bolt supplied for XCMG hydraulic excavators and their service work.
Marked with part number 860178173, this factory bolt gives fitters a rated attachment point that threads straight into the prepared boss.
The shank is forged from alloy steel and then threaded, so the load path runs through one continuous piece of metal.
Heat treatment follows the XCMG specification, giving the bolt a tough core and a surface that resists thread damage.
Thread pitch, shank length and eye opening follow the OEM drawing, so the bolt seats fully and the eye faces the right way.
A protective plating keeps rust off the threads, which means the bolt comes out cleanly at the next major service.
Used on covers, counterweights, boom sections and subassemblies, this eye bolt is small yet critical to safe handling.
The 860178173 eye bolt is forged to the XCMG drawing, so the thread, shank and eye match the boss without adapters or spacers.
Because the eye is closed in the die, the metal grain runs unbroken from shank to eye and resists bending under load.
Threads are gauged to the OEM class, so the bolt turns in by hand and seats fully at the specified torque.
A tempered core and hardened surface let the shank carry the rated load without stretching, stripping or snapping.
The eye bore is smooth and deburred, which protects slings, shackles and hooks from chafing during a lift.
Zinc or oxide coating holds rust back in wet and coastal conditions, keeping the thread free for later removal.
Since the part carries the OEM number, a fitter installs it with a socket and torque wrench and no extra machining.
A properly rated eye bolt gives the workshop a dependable lifting point, which protects both people and sheet metal.
Every production run begins with certified alloy steel checked for chemistry and hardenability before the first billet is cut.
Billets are heated to forging temperature and shaped in closed dies, which forms eye and shank as one solid piece.
After forging, the bolts are quenched and tempered to the hardness window printed on the XCMG drawing.
Threads are rolled or cut and then checked with go and no-go gauges so the fit matches the mating boss.
Batch records tie every 860178173 bolt to its steel heat and forging lot, so any question is answered from paper.
An eye bolt creates a tested attachment point where a sling or shackle can take the weight of a heavy component.
A bent, stripped or cracked eye bolt can slip during a lift, which puts technicians and the machine at real risk.
The genuine 860178173 keeps full thread engagement and a sound eye, so the load travels the path the design intends.
Correct rating and orientation prevent side loading and bending, the two most common causes of eye bolt failure.
A sound eye bolt speeds up engine, pump and cover removal, which shortens service time and cuts standing downtime.
The 860178173 eye bolt installs with a torque wrench and the correct socket during engine, pump or cover service.
Clean the threaded boss and confirm the internal threads are undamaged, dry and free of paint, dirt or old sealant.
Turn the bolt in by hand until it seats fully, then tighten to the torque published in the XCMG service data.
Check that the eye points in the direction of the lift and that no washer or bracket stops the bolt seating square.
Rig the sling so the load pulls along the bolt axis, because side loading bends the shank and opens the eye.
During service checks, look for bent shanks, worn threads, corrosion or an opened eye, and replace any damaged bolt.
Never heat, weld or straighten an eye bolt, because those operations destroy the heat treatment and the load rating.
Every 860178173 bolt is made in an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified plant with traceability from steel to carton.
Incoming steel is checked for chemistry, and finished bolts are measured for thread size, shank length and eye diameter.
Each batch is inspected for surface defects such as cracks, laps and burrs, since these weaken a lifting component.
Post-production checks include visual review, dimensional verification and a trial fit on the XCMG threaded fixture.
Sample bolts from every batch go through proof load and hardness tests to confirm the rated capacity is achieved.
Low-cost copies often use ordinary steel or skip heat treatment, so the shank bends or the threads strip under load.
A welded eye can open at the joint, and a bolt with the wrong pitch may engage only a few turns before pulling out.
The genuine 860178173 is forged to the XCMG drawing, so thread, shank, eye and rating all match the original.
Staying with genuine XCMG parts also protects warranty cover, resale value and fit with the surrounding OEM hardware.
Backed by XCMG global quality standards and technical support, this eye bolt holds up in harsh working conditions.
Choosing the genuine 860178173 bolt stops a failed lifting point from becoming a dropped component or a damaged cover.
A stripped thread can halt a repair halfway, which wastes labour hours and keeps the machine in the workshop longer.
A coated forged bolt keeps its thread free, so it comes out cleanly next time instead of seizing in the boss.
Dependable lifting points also shorten major repairs, which lowers the total cost of ownership for fleet operators.
Service records from construction and mining fleets show genuine XCMG hardware reduces unplanned downtime.
XCMG produces the 860178173 bolt with efficient forging runs and tight material control that keep scrap low.
A long service life means fewer replacements, which reduces the steel and energy tied to each bolt.
Reusable lifting points reduce the need for temporary slings and improvised rigging on site.
The steel in this part complies with RoHS and REACH requirements for safe handling and responsible recycling.
The 860178173 eye bolt is held in XCMG depots serving North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Each bolt is bagged to protect thread and coating, then packed in a strong carton that keeps damp out.
Fleet buyers can request volume pricing and combined freight, which simplifies planning and reduces landed cost.
Live stock information and responsive supply teams cover urgent requests quickly, so machines return to work sooner.
Careful packing keeps the eye round and the threads clean until fitting, avoiding damage from loose storage.
