About this product
The VRS-STARPOINT in octagonal shape aligns itself around the installed bolt into the load force direction. This excludes dangerous untightening (like rigid DIN-580 bolts). Thanks to high-strength quenched and tempered steels and ICE-Bolt, the modern lifting point allows a 4 to 5 times higher WLL or half the diameter size than DIN 580. Current tests of the Employerʼs Insurance Association (BG) also confirm the positive tests in the worst critical loading direction of 90° in the load ring plane.
If the lifting points are only used during the manufacturing of a machine component, choose the VRS-STARPOINT variant with integrated Easy-Fit wrench. It can be installed and removed easily, quickly and without additional tools.
If the lifting points should stay permanently at the load they must be tightened with a recommend torque moment. This installation is particularly simple with a VRS socket wrench (suitable for a conventional torque wrench). Alternatively the use of bolt securing glue, f. e. Loctite is recommended.
The STARPOINT is available in several bolt lengths with corresponding washers and crack detected lock nuts in different thread types.
VRS-F STARPOINT, metric thread
Metric thread with key.
- Large WLL range 0.1 t – 20 t.
- Non-detachable ICE-Bolt made of patent steel (M6–M24), thus reducing the risk of using unsuitable standard bolts. Special bolt for safe deep temperature usage with higher toughness and thus higher bending strength as well as less wear.
- The WLL information corresponds with the min. WLL (worst case scenario) in all loading directions. Higher WLL by optimised attachment or application.
- Variable bolt lengths available for use in threaded and through holes.
- Comprehensive range of threads.
VRS-F STARPOINT, metric thread with variable length, comes with locknut + washer
Metric thread with variable length.
- Large WLL range 0.4 t – 4.5 t.
- Non-detachable ICE-Bolt made of patent steel (M6–M24), thus reducing the risk of using unsuitable standard bolts. Special bolt for safe deep temperature usage with higher toughness and thus higher bending strength as well as less wear.
- The WLL information corresponds with the min. WLL (worst case scenario) in all loading directions. Higher WLL by optimised attachment or application.
- Variable bolt lengths available for use in threaded and through holes.
- Comprehensive range of threads.
VRS STARPOINT, metric thread
Metric thread without key.

VRS-F/VRS STARPOINT, metric fine thread
Metric fine thread with key.
- Large WLL range 0.3 t – 7 t.
- Non-detachable RUD-Bolt, this reducing the risk of using unsuitable standard bolts.
- The WLL information corresponds with the min. WLL (worst case scenario) in all loading directions. Higher WLL by optimised attachment or application.
- Variable bolt lengths available for use in threaded and through holes.
- Comprehensive range of threads.
VRS-F STARPOINT, UNC/UN thread
UNC inch thread with key.
- Large WLL range 0.1 t – 20 t.

- Comprehensive range of threads.
VRS STARPOINT, UNC/UN thread
UNC inch thread without key.
- Large WLL range 0.1 t – 20 t.
- Not exchangeable RUD-Bolt (this reduces the usage of improper standard bolts).

- Comprehensive range of threads.
VRS STARPOINT, UNF thread
UNF inch thread without key.
- Not exchangeable RUD-Bolt (this reduces the usage of improper standard bolts).
- The WLL information corresponds with the min. WLL (worst case scenario) in all loading directions. Higher WLL by optimised attachment or application.
