Typical onboard and system applications

A stainless steel “shackle” is commonly used as a connecting element between mechanical parts, terminals, and accessories, when a detachable and inspectable connection is needed. In the nautical field, it can be used, for example, in:

• Deck maneuvers and equipment where a mechanical connection between components is required.
• Connections between accessories (rings, thimbles, terminals, plates, or other elements compatible in shape and size).
• Fittings and maintenance where it is useful to be able to quickly assemble/disassemble a junction point.
• Onboard systems and general hardware applications in marine environments, when AISI 316 stainless steel is preferred.

Choosing the size 22 mm and the loads must be consistent with the set of connected components and the intended use.

Advantages

• AISI 316 Stainless Steel: material commonly chosen in boating for use in environments exposed to humidity and salt spray.
• Mirror polished finish: professional appearance and smooth surface, also useful for easier cleaning and visual inspection.
• Forging: processing suitable for hardware components intended for heavy-duty use.
• Declared dimensions and loads: useful data for technical selection and comparison with other components of the same family.
• Osculati Code: clear identification for reorder and spare parts management.

Usage and operational notes

Selection and verification

• Verify that dimensions (A, B, L1, R) and declared are adequate for the application and compatible with the other elements of the connection chain.
• Consider that the overall system is also determined by connected components, mounting methods, and real operating conditions.

Installation and maintenance

• Install the shackle so that it works correctly in tension, avoiding improper configurations or mechanical interferences.
• Perform periodic inspections to check for any signs of wear, deformation, or damage.
• In a marine environment, regular cleaning helps maintain the finish and facilitates visual inspections.
