Microfused 6 mm twisted stainless steel pin - Code: 08.856.06 - Osculati

6 mm micro-cast twisted stainless steel shackle Osculati (code 08.856.06)

The micro-cast twisted stainless steel shackle Osculati is a hardware component designed to create reliable connections between control elements and onboard accessories. This version is in AISI 316 stainless steel and features a long twist, useful when a more favorable alignment between attachment points is needed compared to a traditional shackle.

Suitable for nautical and plant engineering contexts where corrosion-resistant materials and a refined finish are required, it is a suitable choice for both new installations and maintenance and replacement of worn components.

Features and construction details

Material and manufacturing

• AISI 316 stainless steel.
• Building micro-cast.
• Manufacturer's description: forged, very robust.
• Perfect finish (as per original description).

“Twisted” geometry and long twist

The configuration twisted (with long twist) is designed to facilitate the connection between components that do not work on the same plane. In many onboard applications, this helps reduce misalignments and achieve a neater assembly, especially when connecting accessories with different orientations.

Dimensions and loads (6 mm variant)

For this specific variant, the available data are as follows:

• Ø A: 6 mm
• B: 13 mm
• L1: 34 mm
• Working load: 300 kg
• Breaking load: 1500 kg

Supplier product code: 08.856.06 (Osculati S.r.l.).

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

The shackle is a very common connecting element in marine hardware. The version twisted is particularly useful when the orientation of the components is not perfectly aligned or when a cleaner connection between two elements is desired.

Examples of use

• Connections in rigging and redirects where a compact joining point is needed.
• Connections between deck accessories and fastening components.
• Localized maintenance and replacement of existing shackles with the same size and loads.
• General uses in onboard systems where AISI 316 stainless steel is required.

The choice of the correct shackle always depends on the geometry of the connection and the loads involved: in case of doubt, it is advisable to carefully check measurements and working conditions.

Advantages

• AISI 316 stainless steel: material commonly chosen in marine environments for its corrosion resistance.
• Twisted shape: useful for connections with different orientations, when a standard shackle does not offer optimal alignment.
• Investment casting: allows for accurate manufacturing of the component.
• Careful finish: recommended for visible installations and to reduce critical points related to edges or imperfections (according to the original description “perfect finish”).
• Available load data: declared working load and breaking load for the 6 mm variant, useful for a more informed selection.

Usage and operational notes

Selection of the correct size

Before purchase or installation, check that the size Ø A 6 mm and dimensions B and L1 is compatible with the components to be connected. In case of replacement, also compare the twist geometry with the shackle already present.

Installation and checks

• Make sure that the attachment points are free from interference and that the shackle operates without abnormal strain.
• Periodically check the condition of the component (wear, deformations, signs of damage) especially in applications subject to vibrations or repeated stresses.
• Use the product in compliance with the declared loads and good onboard hardware mounting practices.

Product identification

For reorders and spare parts management, refer to Osculati code 08.856.06. This helps maintain consistency in supplies and reduce selection errors among similar variants.
