Product details
Made without a weld seam, the 0400A pear-shaped link is rated with a design factor of six: its minimum breaking load is six times the working load limit. The 3/8 in size carries 1600 lb and weighs 0.23 lb, the 1/2 in carries 2900 lb, the 3/4 in 6000 lb and the 1 in 10800 lb. The largest 1-3/8 in link is rated at 20500 lb with a net weight of 11.50 lb.
Pear links seat their wide end on a hook and gather a sling, rope or chain at the narrow end, which makes them useful as end links on wire rope and chain assemblies, in towing and mooring set-ups and in general rigging. The 0400A is not fall protection equipment.
When comparing this link with the Grade 80 0500A, note the different design factor and size range, and choose by the WLL and inside dimensions the application needs. Power Honour can supply the 0400A as OEM or private-label hardware or adapt it to a customer drawing.
