What is shackle?
Shackles are steel connectors made from a body anda pin. A shackle, also known as a gyve, is a U-shaped piece of metalsecured with a clevis pin or bolt across the opening, o…r a hingedmetal loop secured with a quick-release locking pin mechanism. Theterm also applies to handcuffs and other similarly conceivedrestraint devices that function in a similar manner. Shackles are the primary connecting link in all manner of riggingsystems, from boats and ships to industrial crane rigging, as theyallow different rigging subsets to be connected or disconnectedquickly. A shackle is also the similarly shaped piece of metal usedwith a locking mechanism in padlocks. Types: Bow Shackle With a larger "O" shape to the loop, this shackle can take loadsfrom many directions without developing as much side load. However,the larger shape to the loop does reduce its overall strength. Alsoreferred to as an anchor shackle. D-Shackles Also known as a chain shackle, D-shackles are narrow shacklesshaped like a loop of chain, usually with a pin or threaded pinclosure. D-shackles are very common and most other shackle typesare a variation of the D-shackle. The small loop can take highloads primarily in line. Side and racking loads may twist or bend aD-shackle. Pin Shackles A pin shackle is closed with an anchor bolt and cotter pin, in amanner similar to a clevis. It is for this reason they are oftenreferred to, in industrial jargon, as clevises. Pin shackles can beinconvenient to work with, at times, as the bolt will need to besecured to the shackle body to avoid its loss, usually with a splitpin or seizing wire. A more secure version used in crane riggingfeatures the combination of a securingnut (hardware) locatedalongside the cotter pin. Pin shackles are practical in manyrigging applications where the anchor bolt is expected toexperience some rotation. Snap Shackles As the name implies, a snap shackle is a fast action fastener whichcan be implemented single handedly. It uses a spring activatedlocking mechanism to close a hinged shackle, and can be unfastenedunder load. This is a potential safety hazard, but can also beextremely useful at times. The snap shackle is not as secure as anyother form of shackle, but can come in handy for temporary uses orin situations which must be moved or replaced often, such as asailor's harness tether or to attach spinnaker sheets. Note: Whenthis type of shackle is used to release a significant load, it willwork rather poorly (hard to release) and is likely to have the pinassembly or the split ring fail. Twist Shackles A twist shackle is usually somewhat longer than the average, andfeatures a 90° twist so the top of the loop is perpendicular to thepin. One of the uses for this shackle include attaching the jibhalyard block to themast, or the jib halyard to the sail, to reducetwist on the luff and allow the sail to set better. (MORE)
