Galvanized Cetra shackle d.8 – code: 08.329.08 – Osculati

Galvanized Cetra shackle d. 8 Osculati – code 08.329.08

The galvanized shackle Cetra d. 8 Osculati (code 08.329.08) is a hardware component designed for quick and neat connections in nautical and onboard system applications. Its shape makes it particularly suitable for use with thimbles, facilitating coupling with cables and terminals where proper support and geometry consistent with the accessory are useful.

This version is offered in the size d. 8 and falls into the category Carabiners / Shackles / Swivels, ideal for those looking for a replacement or a connecting element to integrate into maneuvers, equipment, and typical maintenance and outfitting assemblies.

Product features and details

Identification

• Product: Galvanized shackle Cetra
• Size: d. 8
• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 08.329.08

Shape and intended use

The shackle is described as particularly suitable for use with thimbles, thanks to its shape. This aspect is useful when a connection that respects the terminal's geometry and allows a more linear assembly is desired, reducing bulk and misalignments at connection points.

Dimensions and values available for this configuration

For the variant d. 8 the following values are reported:

• Pin: 8 mm
• Ø d: 8 mm
• A: 16 mm
• L: 32 mm
• Working load: 200 kg
• Breaking load: 800 kg

Note on loads

The values of working load and breaking load are reported as variant selection data. When choosing and installing, always verify consistency with the application and the set of connected components (cable, thimble, shackles, eye bolts, etc.).

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

A shackle of this type is commonly used as a connecting element in many onboard configurations and in operations where a removable joining point is needed. In particular, the “Cetra” shape is indicated when working with turnbuckles and related terminals.

• Cable–accessory connection in the presence of thimbles.
• Pulleys and connections on deck equipment and hardware.
• Maintenance and replacement of worn or no longer suitable shackles.
• Assemblies where a component that is simple to inspect and remove is useful.

Advantages

• Shape suitable for thimbles: designed for a more coherent coupling with this type of terminal.
• Practical solution for removable connections: useful when periodic inspection or quick replacement is planned.
• Galvanized finish: indicated for hardware applications where a surface protection typical of galvanization is required.
• Clear identification: Osculati code 08.329.08 for reordering and spare parts management.

Usage and operational notes

Size selection

This sheet refers to the version d. 8. Before purchase, compare the available dimensions (pin, A, L) with the actual bulk of the attachment point and with the accessories to be connected, especially when using a redancia.

Installation and checks

• Check that the connected components are compatible in size and correctly paired.
• Perform a visual inspection periodic inspection of the shackle and contact points (wear, deformations, obvious marks).
• In case of replacement, keep the same configuration or reassess the assembly based on the intended use.

Spare parts management

For technical requests and reordering, refer to:

• Brand: Osculati
• Code: 08.329.08

If you are standardizing onboard hardware, using the product code helps maintain consistency among components and simplifies maintenance.
