Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between a Pear Shaped Shackle and a Kenter Shackle?
A Kenter Shackle connects two sections of chain and passes through the windlass. A Pear Shaped Shackle connects the chain to the anchor crown shackle and features a tapered design for size compensation. The Pear Shackle can replace the combined use of D-Shackle, End Link, Enlarged Link, and Kenter Shackle .
Q2: What grade is the Pear Shaped Shackle available in?
Pear Shaped Shackles are commonly manufactured in Grade 3 (U3) and can be supplied in R3, R3S, R4, and other mooring grades upon request .
Q3: Can a Pear Shaped Shackle connect chains of different diameters?
Yes. The pear-shaped design with different dimensions on each side allows it to connect two mooring lines or chains with different dimensions .
Q4: What material is used for Pear Shaped Shackle R3?
It is manufactured from CM690 or similar alloy steel, matching the material used for R3-grade mooring chains. Yield strength is min 410 N/mm², tensile strength min 690 N/mm² .
Q5: What certifications are available?
CCS, ABS, BV, LR, NK, and RINA certifications are available upon request .
