Stainless steel cetra shackle D 14 mm – code: 08.421.14 – Osculati

Osculati stainless steel lyre shackle D 14 mm – code 08.421.14

The stainless steel lyre shackle D 14 mm Osculati (code 08.421.14) is a hardware component designed to create reliable connections between elements such as ropes, chains, and onboard accessories. The “lyre” shape (also called “harp”) offers a wide opening and a geometry suitable for many hooking configurations, making it a common choice in nautical and plant engineering fields when a practical and tidy connection is needed.

Made of AISI 316 stainless steel polished, it is suitable for contexts where a refined finish and a material typically used on boats and applications exposed to demanding environments are sought. The product is forged and mirror polished, features that contribute to a professional appearance and a good perceived quality of the component.

Product features and details

Material and finish

• Material: stainless steel AISI 316.
• Finishing: polished, with processing mirror polished.
• Process: component forged.

This information comes from the manufacturer's description and clearly identifies the shackle's positioning as a stainless steel hardware item for technical uses.

“Lyre” (cetra) shape

The lyre shape is appreciated when a connection point with greater opening than a straight shackle is desired, useful for more easily managing the alignment between connected elements. In many onboard installations, this geometry facilitates assembly and replacement of components during maintenance.

Dimensions and loads (D 14 mm variant)

The variant of this datasheet is identified by D 14 mm and by the following associated values:

• A: 14 mm
• B: 28 mm
• L1: 56 mm
• R: 50 mm
• Working load: 1750 kg
• Breaking load: 7000 kg

Note: The values reported are those associated with the selected variant (D 14 mm) in the available data. For correct system sizing, it is good practice to always verify that the choice of shackle is consistent with the set of connected components and the intended use.

Product identification

• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 08.421.14

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

This stainless steel clevis shackle is commonly used as a connecting element at various points of the equipment and onboard hardware.

• Connections between ropes and accessories where a detachable attachment point is required.
• Connections with chains or terminals, when the clevis shape helps alignment.
• Fittings and maintenance on deck components and systems that require stainless steel hardware with a refined finish.
• General hardware uses in nautical and technical contexts, where a forged AISI 316 component is preferred.

The choice of size (D 14 mm) is typically related to the sizing of the assembly: diameters, dimensions, and loads must be consistent with each other to avoid weak points in the assembly.

Advantages

Construction quality and professional appearance

The combination of forging and mirror polishing makes the shackle suitable for installations where a component with a neat and pleasant finish is desired, typical of onboard stainless steel hardware.

AISI 316 material for nautical contexts

The’AISI 316 stainless steel is a material frequently chosen in the nautical field.

Clevis shape for easier connections

The clevis geometry can be practical when elements with angles or orientations not perfectly aligned need to be connected, or when a wider opening is needed for attachment. This can simplify assembly and replacement operations during routine maintenance.

Usage and operational notes

Choice of size and load verification

Before installation, compare the size D 14 mm and the dimensions (A, B, L1, R) with the actual dimensions of the components to be connected. Also consider the values of working load and breaking load indicated for this variant, maintaining a cautious approach in sizing the assembly.

Installation and inspection

• Ensure that the shackle operates in an orderly configuration, avoiding twists or abnormal positioning.
• Periodically check the general condition of the component and cleanliness, especially in the presence of deposits or dirt typical of the onboard environment.
• In case of replacement, use a component with equivalent characteristics (material, shape, and size) and with the correct coding.

Code and traceability

For reorders and spare parts management, refer to Osculati code 08.421.14 and the SKU OSCU00000179. This helps reduce supply errors when managing multiple sizes or variants of the same shackle family.
