Rigging products for swaging have product numbers that are coded to
indicate certain dimensions of the product. The first four digits
identify the product type. The first two digits of the suffix
identify the wire size expressed in 1/32′ and the last two digits
denote the thread size expressed in 1/16′.Open Body Turnbuckles are
made from polished chrome plated high grade brass bodies with grade
316 stainless steel end fittings. This combination of materials not
only avoids the risk of excessive thread wear or seizure under
load, but also provides the considerable advantage of easier
adjustment.
As shown on the accompanying graph, for a given level of torque, up
to 47% more tension can be achieved with the Ronstan brass body
turnbuckle than with competitors bronze body turnbuckles, or up to
71% more than an equivalent stainless steel body turnbuckle.
Conversely, for a given required rig tension the torque required to
adjust a competitors bronze or stainless steel body turnbuckle is
up to 40% or 75% more respectively than that of the Ronstan brass
body turnbuckle.
After tensioning, cross-drilled ends in the threaded terminals
enable the use of split-pins to lock and secure the adjustment. For
easy thread identification an etched R identifies the right-hand
threaded end of the body.
As with all Ronstan turnbuckles, toggles are designed with full
universal movement for easy installation and connection and allow
the assembled cable to move where the structure is subject to wind
loads or vibration.
