RUBY Anchor Point is a swivel lifting point for machinery and heavy components where the lifting direction can change during handling. The RP004 series combines a forged swivel eye with a bolt and washer assembly, allowing the lifting eye to rotate with the load direction while remaining secured to the equipment.

360° Load Alignment
360° Rotation: The swivel eye rotates through 360° to follow the pulling direction during lifting.
Directional Flexibility: The rotating eye accommodates changing pull directions, unlike a fixed lifting point.
Higher WLL: The RP004 Key Eye Point offers up to 4.5 times the WLL of conventional DIN 580 lifting points, according to the product page.
Forged Swivel Eye
Forged Load-Bearing Eye: The forged eye forms the main load-bearing component and provides the rotating interface for lifting when pull directions change.
Repeated Handling: The robust construction suits machinery and heavy components that require repeated lifting with a swivel connection.
Installation Control
Hex Socket: The bolt's hex socket enables tightening with standard tools.
Quick Key: A supplementary Quick Key allows manual tightening for temporary setups.
Specified Torque: Each RP004 model has a specified installation torque ranging from 10 to 550 Nm.
Mounting Compatibility
Metric Threads: RP004 models cover M8–M48 threads, with model-specific pitches ranging from 1.25 to 5 mm.
Dimensional Fit: Dimensions A, B, C, D and F define the key measurements for checking mounting space and equipment compatibility.
Applications
Machine Tools: Provides a movable lifting point for machine installation, relocation and maintenance.
Molds & Dies: Supports lifting of heavy tooling where the pulling direction may change.
Motors & Gearboxes: Provides a lifting connection for installation and replacement work.
Fabricated Equipment: Suitable for machinery frames, bases and other heavy assemblies requiring a swivel lifting point.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between an Anchor Point and a standard lifting eye?
A: An Anchor Point uses a swivel eye that can rotate with the lifting direction, while a conventional fixed lifting eye does not provide the same directional movement. The RP004 series is designed for applications where the lifting direction can change during handling.
Q: Can the Anchor Point be supplied for a new equipment design?
A: Yes. The RP004 series can be considered when a threaded lifting point needs to be incorporated into new machinery or equipment. The required thread, dimensions and lifting load should be defined during equipment design.
Q: What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?
A: For an accurate quotation, provide the required model or thread size, quantity, required WLL, bolt length if customized, surface finish, marking requirements and packaging requirements.
Q: Can RUBY provide product drawings for engineering approval?
A: Technical drawings can be requested for dimensional confirmation before purchase. Buyers can use the drawing to verify the mounting interface and installation space against their equipment design.
Q: Can different RP004 sizes be included in the same purchase order?
A: Yes. Different RP004 sizes can be specified in one purchase order according to the quantities required for each equipment model or project.
Q: Can Anchor Points be purchased for distributor stock?
A: Yes. Standard RP004 models can be purchased for distributor inventory, allowing different sizes and WLL ratings to be stocked according to local market requirements.
