Twisted stainless steel shackle microforged 10 mm – code: 08.856.10 – Osculati

10 mm micro-cast twisted stainless steel shackle Osculati (code 08.856.10)

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 solution when a coupling with specific orientation is needed or when a more “elongated” geometry compared to a traditional shackle is desired.

The product is suitable for use in nautical and plant engineering fields where materials suitable for the marine environment and careful construction are required. The manufacturing micro-cast and the perfect finish (as per manufacturer description) make it suitable for installations where both functionality and the neatness of the setup matter.

Features and construction details

Material

Made of AISI 316 forged stainless steel. This material is commonly chosen in boating for its suitability for use in environments exposed to humidity and salt spray.

“Twisted” geometry with long twist

The distinctive feature of this model is the long twist, which allows better management of the orientation of the connection between two elements (for example, when you want to avoid a component working “in shear” or when a more natural alignment of the connection is desired).

Micro-cast process and finish

The shackle is microfuso and features perfect finish. In practice, this results in a cleaner appearance and well-finished surfaces, useful when the component is visible or when you want to reduce the possibility of rough spots in contact with textiles and ropes.

Sizes and loads (Ø 10 mm version)

For this variant of 10 mm (supplier code 08.856.10) the following data are available:

• Ø A: 10 mm
• B: 21 mm
• L1: 47 mm
• Working load: 1000 kg
• Breaking load: 5000 kg

Note: The load values are reported as per the data available for this size. When choosing, it is good practice to consider the entire system (ropes, terminals, pad eyes, plates, shackles, and connected accessories) and verify that each element is consistent with the intended use.

Typical onboard and system applications

A micro-cast twisted stainless steel shackle is commonly used as a joining and connecting element in many configurations. In particular, this version can be practical when the orientation of the connection is important or when a more “linear” connection is desired thanks to the long twist.

• Connections between deck accessories and running rigging components (depending on the boat configuration).
• Joints on equipment and hardware where a removable element is needed for maintenance or replacement.
• Fittings and refitting where you want to use AISI 316 stainless steel for material uniformity and resistance in a marine environment.
• General hardware uses in nautical/technical fields, when a shackle connection is required and a twisted geometry is preferred.

Advantages of the micro-cast twisted stainless steel shackle

Material choice for marine environment

The use of AISI 316 stainless steel it is a frequent reference for nautical applications: it helps maintain a good level of component reliability over time under typical onboard conditions.

Neat connection and more manageable orientation

The long twist can facilitate alignment between connected elements, reducing the need for adjustments and contributing to a cleaner installation, especially when space is limited or when attachment points are not perfectly coplanar.

Careful finish

The perfect finish declared by the manufacturer is a plus in contexts where the component is visible or where hardware with well-finished surfaces is desired.

Removable component for maintenance

The shackle is a practical solution when you want to maintain the possibility of dismantling a connection quickly for inspections, replacements, or routine maintenance.

Usage and operational notes

Correct size selection

This sheet refers to the version Ø 10 mm (Osculati 08.856.10). Before purchase, check that the sizes Ø A, B and L1 are compatible with the available spaces and with the diameters/eyelets of the components to be connected.

Installation and checks

• Make sure the shackle works consistently with the geometry of the connection, avoiding forced configurations.
• Periodically check the general condition of the component (wear, deformations, abnormal marks) as part of onboard maintenance.
• In the presence of complex systems, evaluate the entire set of connected components to maintain consistency between materials and usage requirements.
