Product details
SS911 has the rounded bow that gives anchor shackles their name, made in AISI 316 stainless steel. Six sizes are listed by D: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm (5/32 to 15/32 in.). The drawing gives B (8 to 24 mm), R (14 to 42 mm), d (8 to 24 mm) and overall length L (16 to 48 mm).
Listed breaking loads are 750, 1300, 1800, 3500, 5400 and 7200 kg from the smallest size to the largest. Compared with a D shackle, the wider bow leaves room for two or more lines, slings or eyes and copes better with a load that is not exactly in line with the pin, although side loading still reduces capacity. That makes the bow shape a common choice for anchor rodes, mooring chains, sail tacks and shade-sail corners. The breaking loads are not working load limits; a safety factor appropriate to the use must be applied.
Power Honour can supply the SS911 under a private label or to a customer's modified drawing. The D-shaped equivalent is SS910.
