Super long stainless steel shackle 10 mm – code: 08.323.10 – Osculati

Superlong stainless steel shackle 10 mm Osculati (code 08.323.10)

The superlong stainless steel shackle 10 mm Osculati is a hardware component designed for reliable connections in nautical and onboard plant engineering contexts, where materials suitable for the marine environment and refined finishes are required. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel and polished, is suitable for applications where the “extra-long” geometry can be useful for managing encumbrances, alignments, or attachment points with particular spacings.

This card refers to the version with diameter 10 mm and supplier code 08.323.10 (Osculati S.r.l.).

Features and construction details

Material and finish

• AISI 316 stainless steel.
• Polished with mirror finish (forged and polished).

The use of AISI 316 is a typical choice for hardware intended for nautical contexts, thanks to its corrosion resistance characteristics in aggressive environments. The mirror polishing contributes to a more uniform and pleasant surface, suitable for visible installations.

“Superlong” shape”

The configuration superlong distinguishes this shackle from standard versions: the greater useful length can facilitate the connection between elements that require more space between the fastening points or when better alignment management is desired. In practice, it can be a convenient solution when a traditional shackle is too “short” for the application.

Dimensions and load capacities (selected version)

For this variant of 10 mm the following values are available:

• A: 10 mm
• B: 20 mm
• D: 20 mm
• L2: 80 mm
• Working load: 952 kg
• Breaking load: 3730 kg

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

A super long stainless steel shackle is used in numerous hardware connections, especially when a robust and inspectable joining element is needed. In the nautical field, it can be used, for example, for:

• connections between chains, cables o end fittings made of steel;
• joints on attacks and anchor points where the extra length helps to avoid interference;
• hardware assemblies on deck or in technical areas, when a greater distance between connection points is useful;
• connections where a solution in AISI 316 stainless steel with a refined finish is desired.

The choice of the “super long” version is often related to assembly needs: more space to insert components, better accessibility, or the need to have the connection work with a certain alignment.

Advantages of the super long stainless steel shackle

• Material suitable for the marine environment: AISI 316 stainless steel is commonly used for hardware exposed to humidity and salt spray.
• Polished finish: suitable for visible installations and for those seeking a neat and professional appearance.
• Super long geometry: useful when a standard shackle does not offer sufficient clearance/space for the connection.
• Available load data: for a more informed selection of the correct variant based on the application.
• Osculati product: hardware component for nautical use, clearly identified by code 08.323.10.

Usage and operational notes

Choice of the correct size

Before purchase or installation, check:

• the dimensional compatibility with the elements to be connected (diameters, slots, thicknesses, and clearances);
• the need for the shape superlong based on the available space and the required alignment;
• the consistency between working load and the intended use, also considering the other components of the line.

Installation and checks

In a nautical context, it is advisable to carry out periodic checks of the hardware, especially if exposed to external agents. Keep the component clean and inspectable and check over time for the absence of deformations or obvious signs of wear. In case of doubts about the application or sizing, consider the support of a qualified technician.
