RIGGING SCREWS & TURNBUCKLESTO AS 2319

Rigging ScrewsRigging screws are used to provide a means for lengthadjustment and for tensioning. They are also used with guys formasts, towers, other structures and engineering applications.Rigging screws generally have elongated eyes or clevis endfittings for connection to shackles, wire rope assemblies, pad eyesand the like. A central cross-hole is provided at the inner end ofthe thread and at each end of the body, which permits visualobservation of the maximum permitted extended position of theend fitting. Rigging screw bodies are formed from tubular sectionsof steel and can have an almost infinite size range and scope forlength adjustment. Size and adjustment of rigging screws islimited by the available end fittings. Additionally, rigging screwshave the innate facility for continuing lubrication as the enclosedsection of the body provides a suitable reservoir for grease orother lubrication. Hence, they have an advantage in relativecorrosive applications such as ships rigging and permanentoutdoor guys.

TurnbucklesTurnbuckles have the same applications as rigging screws, but have a generally smaller size range and shorter adjustment. The main benefit of a turnbuckle is that it may have a greaterability to be tightened under load. Also, there may be a widerscope for providing means for locking while in service.

Rigging Screw GradeRigging Screws and Turnbuckles in accordance with AustralianStandards are available in various grades. The standard Noblesgrade of supply is Grade P. Other grades (S and L) are availableand some stocks may be held in specific sizes.

Grade LGrade L is the original grade of supply for rigging screws. It isfrom this grade that most of the dimensions of standard riggingscrew components are derived. The load ratings of Grade Lrigging screws equate to slightly better than mild steel. AlthoughGrade L rigging screws are still favoured in the commercial fishingindustry it is now generally an obsolete grade for rigging screws.The use of Grade L rigging screws is now generally limited to studended rigging screws which must be soft enough to swage andstub ended rigging screws where weldability is required.

Grade PGrade P is obtained using Nobles carefully developed heattreatment process. This grade is intended to reduce the size of rigging screws or turnbuckles required for a given load orapplication. The many benefits of Grade P include high strengthand appropriate size and fitment with modern wire rope andaccessories. Nobles were at the forefront of the development of this grade and have developed practices to generate theadditional strength required whilst retaining suitable materialductility for lifting applications.

Grade SGrade S is a grade of rigging screw that is higher in capacity thanGrade P and normally requires the use of alloy steels in manufactureto generate material strengths akin to those of Grade 8.8 bolts.Some components are made and stocked in this grade but it isusually reserved for special purpose applications where Grade P is not viable.

Other GradesNobles have successfully manufactured rigging screws in specialgrades such as stainless steels, bronzes etc. These rigging screwmaterials differ widely in properties and our engineering expertise is used in assigning appropriate load ratings and sizing ofcomponentry.

Rigging Screw Barrel SizesApart from standard lengths (B) rigging screw barrels can also bemade in custom lengths to specific order requirements.

If locknuts are specified these will reduce the available thread onend fittings and increase overall minimum length. If locknuts arerequired please specify at time of order.

Rigging Screw SizesRigging screws can be made in almost any practical size orconfiguration. The standard end fittings are either elongated eyesor forged jaws.

Standard body types are either turnbuckles or rigging screws up to M33 and rigging screws only from M39 and above.

WARNING• Swapping of end fittings between rigging screws and

turnbuckles is not recommended. If end fittings must be swapped consult Nobles for advice.

• Exceeding the WLL could result in faillure.

Load RatingRigging screws in accordance with Australian Standards have afactor of safety of 6:1. This relatively high factor is an importantsafety feature. The safety factor helps to counter possibleproblems from shock, vibration, fatigue, wear, damage andcorrosion. It is important that the safety factor be maintained.

When using a rigging screw always check the working load limit(WLL) stamped on the body. If the rigging screw is a customitem, and the WLL has been altered accordingly, then this will bereflected on the body stamping.

Locking of ThreadsWhere rigging screws or turnbuckles are to be used in apermanently adjusted position and where a guy is subjected toshock vibration or rope spin it is necessary to prevent the screwsfrom unwinding. Typical methods of locking threads includelocknuts, locking plates and wire.

LocknutsLocknuts are available for each size of rigging screw offered asstandard. Nobles rigging screw threads are toleranced such thatany standard nut of the correct thread series may be used as alock nut.

WARNING• Locknuts may not provide sufficient protection against unwinding

where torques are high• Overtightening Locknuts may cause threads to become

overloaded risking accidental failure.• Never cross drill the load bearing portion of an end fitting thread

to enable locking• Never weld rigging screws or turnbuckles to lock threads• Lock plates are the most secure locking method and should be

used where rope torque is significant.

WARNING• Regular inspection is required for all rigging screws (including

stainless steel ones) to reduce the risk of failure through corrosion

• Failure though corrosion may occur by erosion of the thread within the body being invisible except under close inspection

• Where rigging screw bodies are situated such that water or chemicals can collect within the barrel then the barrel should: be regularly maintained, charged with grease, have it’s holes plugged, have drain holes added or a combination of these. Nobles can add drain holes on request.

• Care should be taken that rigging screws fitted in line with dissimilar metals are not at risk from accelerated corrosion

GeneralShackles are used in lifting static systems as removable links toconnect wire rope, chain and other fittings.

Shackle TypesGrade ‘M’ Large Dee and Grade ‘S’ Dee and Bow shackles are themost common types of rated lifting shackles that will beencountered in general industry.

Grade ‘S’ shackles are available with various pin configurationsbut the two main pin configurations are the ‘Safety Pin’ and the‘Screw Pin’.

Shackle LoadingThe Working Load Limit on a shackle varies according to the angleof the load.

The pre-use check for shackles should ensure that:1. The body of the shackle and pin are both compatible and are

of the same grade and material.

2. All markings are clearly legible.

3. The pin is the correct type for the shackle body.

4. The threads of the pin and the shackle body are in good orderand function correctly.

5. The body and pin are not damaged in any way and are freefrom distortion, nicks, gouges, cracks and excessive wear andcorrosion. (Recommended maximum wear allowance is 10%).

6. For ‘Safety pin’ shackles ensure that the nuts and split pinsare fitted and in good condition.

125

SHACKLESTO AS 2741

WARNING• Lifting equipment should be inspected before each use.

MarkingShackles designed and tested in accordance with AustralianStandard 2741 should be marked with the following• WLL.• Manufactures identification.• Grade of material.• Identification mark or batch number to cross reference the

shackle to the manufacturers test certificate.

1. With a screw pin shackle ensure that the pin is firmly screwedinto the shackle eye. The collar of the pin should be fullyseated on the shackle eye. The pin can be locked using asmall spanner or tommy bar. When using a safety pin shackleensure that the nut and split pin are attached and in goodcondition.

2. Ensure that the pin is of the correct length so that itpenetrates the full depth of the screwed eye and allows thecollar of the pin to bed on the surface of the shackle eye.

3. If the shackle pin does not seat correctly this indicates thatthe pin may be bent, the thread is not correct or compatibleor the pinholes are not aligned correctly. The shackle shouldnot be used under these circumstances.

4. Never replace a shackle pin with a bolt. The original shacklepin is specifically designed for the purpose and a bolt may notbe suited to the WLL of the shackle.

5. Safety pin shackles must never be used if the nut and splitpin are not in place.

6. Select the correct type of shackle for the intended use andapplication. Shackles should be fitted to the load in a mannerthat allows the shackle to be loaded along its centre line.Shackles should never be loaded in such a way thatinappropriate bending forces are induced.

7. To avoid eccentric loading of the shackle a loose spacer maybe used in either end of the shackle pin or a shackle with asmaller jaw width should be used. Do not reduce the widthbetween the shackle jaws by welding washers or spacers tothe inside face of the eyes or by closing the jaws, as this willhave an adverse affect on the mechanical properties of theshackle.

8. If a shackle is being used to secure the top block of a sheaveblock or "handy billy" arrangement it should be noted that thehoisting effort used to pull down on the load rope also needsto be allowed for when selecting the shackle WLL.

9. The WLL of shackles is affected at high temperaturestherefore the WLL’s should be reduced by 10% fortemperatures between 200 and 300˚C and by 25% fortemperatures between 300 and 400˚C. Grade S Shacklesshould not be used at all for temperatures above 400˚C.

10. Do not attempt to weld or apply heat to shackles.

Inspection Before Use

Care In Use

WARNING• Shackles should always be used in line with good lifting and

rigging practice and as per the manufacturers recommendations. • Incorrect shackle use could result in a dangerous situation that

could cause property damage, serious injury or death.• When using shackles in multi-leg slings, due consideration should

be given to the effect of the angle between the legs. As the included angle increases so to does the load in the sling leg and the shackle.

• Shackles should never be used on a sling with an included angle in excess of 120˚.

Check for wearinside shackle body

Check body for distortion

Check that splitpin is secure

Check for wear on shackle pin

Check that pin is matched to body, is the samegrade material and seats correctly in the shackle

HOOKS

GeneralThere are numerous hook designs and configurations to suit manydifferent applications. It is important to select the right hook forthe job. Nobles sales staff can advise on the most suitable hooktypes for any given application.

Inspection Before UseThe pre-use check for hooks should cover the following:

1. The WLL should be clearly marked.2. The safety catch should be in place and functioning correctly.3. The hook should be checked for any distortion, cracking and

excessive wear or corrosion.NOTE: The wear on the bearing surface of the hook shouldnot exceed 8% of the nominal dimension.

4. Check that the opening of the hook is within themanufacturers parameters. If the hook is opened excessivelyit is a sign that it has been point loaded or overloaded.

5. Moving parts such as release cams should be checked for freemovement.

6. If the hook is a ball bearing swivel hook check that the hookis swivelling freely and that the bearing is not making anyunusual noises. Unusual noises are often a sign of bearingfatigue or bearing failure.

7. If the hook has a threaded machined shank ensure that thethread is in good order and that the nut is turning freely onthe thread.

MarkingAll hooks designed and tested in accordance with AustralianStandards shall include:• Manufacturer’s identification.• Quality grade.• SWL or WLL.• Identification marking or batch number to trace the hook to

the manufacturers test certificate.

Care In Use1. For hooks used in frequent load cycles or pulsating loads,

the hook and threads should periodically be inspected byMagnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant. (Note: Some disassemblymay be required.)

2. Never use a hook if its throat opening has been increased, orits tip has been bent more than 10 degrees out of plane fromthe hook body, or is in any other way distorted or bent. Note:A safety catch will not work properly on a hook with a bent orworn tip.

3. Never use a hook that is worn beyond a recommendedmaximum of 8%.

4. Remove from service any hook with a crack, nick, or gouge.Hooks with cracks, nicks, or gouges shall be repaired bycarefully grinding lengthwise, following the contour of thehook, provided that the reduced dimension is within the 8%wear limit.

5. Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by welding,heating, burning or bending.

6. Never side load, back load, or tip load a hook.7. Eye hooks, shank hooks and swivel hooks are designed to be

used with wire rope or chain. Efficiency of an assembly maybe reduced when used with synthetic material.

8. Always make sure the hook supports the load. The catch mustnever support the load.

9. When placing two sling legs in a hook, make sure the anglefrom the vertical to the outermost leg is not greater than 45 degrees, and the included angle between the legs does not exceed 90 degrees.

10. The WLL of a hook applies only when the load is correctlypositioned on the load line of the hook. If the hook iseccentrically loaded, or the load is applied other than on the load line, the WLL is greatly reduced.

11. Always use a swivel hook, or insert a swivel link between theload hook and the lifting rope, when the load has a tendencyto rotate when lifted.

12. Always check to ensure that the hook safety catch has closedcorrectly before allowing the load to be lifted.

WARNING• All hooks should be safety hooks i.e. have a safety catch.• Hooks without safety catches are not recommended.

WARNING• Loads may disengage from hooks if proper procedures are not

followed.• Falling loads may cause property damage, serious injury

or death.• Threads may corrode and/or strip and drop the load.• The hooks must always support the load. The load must never

be supported by the safety catch.• Never apply more force than the hook’s WLL.• Read and understand the manufacturers instructions before using

the hook.

COLLARED EYEBOLTSTO AS 2317

GeneralOur Collared Eyebolts are fully compliant with AS 2317 and are ofthe highest quality whilst still maintaining a very competitivepricing position in the market. The information and specifications attached here are for metriceyebolts but imperial eyebolts in BSW or UNC are stocked in some branches and are usually available. Eyenuts may also beavailable.

As collared eyebolts are suitable for a number of applications, thefollowing Care in Use information should be taken as a generalguide.

Inspection Before UseThe pre-use check for eyebolts should include the following:

1. Ensure the WLL is clearly legible.

2. Clean eyebolt and check for any signs of deformation,cracking, nicks, gouges and excessive bruising, wear orcorrosion.

3. Threads should be concentric and fit neatly into a standard nut.

4. Check that the centre line of the eye is aligned with thecentre line of the thread.

5. The threaded hole in which the eyebolt is to be fitted shouldalso be carefully checked to ensure the hole is free from dirt,grease and other contaminants that could restrict the eyeboltsfrom seating correctly in the hole. Particular attention shouldbe paid to the hole thread to ensure it is in good condition.

6. Check that the hole thread and the eyebolt thread arecompatible.

7. It is important to also carefully check the surface area aroundthe threaded hole (which the eyebolt collar will sit on) toensure it is clean, free from deformation, cracking or anyother problem that may restrict the eyebolt seating correctly.

Care In UseSmall EyeboltsNormally, eyebolts of sizes smaller than 12mm should not be usedfor general lifting, staying or tensioning purposes, as hightorsional stresses are easily induced in these smaller sizes bybeing screwed up too tightly. Therefore, where they are used,care should be taken to not cause excessive torsional stresseswhile they are being fitted to a threaded hole.

Matching of ThreadsExtreme care should be taken to ensure that eyebolts are notscrewed into threaded holes of a different size or type of thread.Accidents may be caused by eyebolts with metric threads beingscrewed inadvertently into tapped holes having a BSW or UNCthread and vice versa. Apart from force fits, the thread sizeslisted in the table below may be wrongly matched with the riskthat the eyebolt may pull out of the threaded hole below thedesign load.

The possibility of mixing threads has always existed, but it hasbeen accentuated by the change to metric threads. Where aneyebolt is removed from a threaded hole, it is recommended thatthe surface adjacent to the threaded hole be marked with thethread type and size and a plug be inserted into the threadedhole, or that other equally effective action be taken to reduce thepossibility of mismatching threads. Where an eyebolt cannot bescrewed by hand, the cause of the tight fit may be mixed threads.

StorageEyebolts should always be stored in a clean, dry and wellventilated environment and in such a way that the threads areprotected.

WARNING• Eyebolts should always be used in accordance with Australian

Standards and the manufacturers recommendations.• When eyebolts are used the load should always be tethered to

prevent it from spinning.

WARNING• The WLL for eyebolts is in the direct vertical lifting plane.• Eyebolts used in multi leg assemblies must be derated.

COLLARED EYEBOLTS

Threaded AttachmentWhere an eyebolt is used in an untapped hole, the thread shouldengage a nut with a thread length of at least the full thickness ofa standard sized nut.

Where an eyebolt is used with a tapped hole in a plate the lengthof thread engagement should be at least the nominal diameter ofthe thread. Where the undercut is not sufficient to allow for anadequate engagement of the collar, a parallel washer beneath thecollar should be used so that an adequate engagement isachieved.

If the nut side of the eyebolt is on a tapered surface, such as theinside flange of an RSJ beam, then a tapered washer should beused.

Tightening Of EyeboltsEyebolts should be screwed fully down to the face of the liftedload; however, excessive tightening of the eyebolt should beavoided. It should not be possible to enter a 0.04 mm feelergauge at any position between the collar of an eyebolt and itsseating. Where this condition is not achieved, any non-axialloading may overstress the screw thread.

Alignment Of EyeWhere correct alignment of the eye of an eyebolt is required butnot accomplished at the first fitting, it should be achieved by thefollowing methods:

(a) Fitting a shim washer of steel under the collar. A shim washershould not be less in diameter than the diameter of the collar,and the thickness should be between 50% and 100% of thepitch of the threaded shank.

(b) Machining the underside of the collar. The amount of materialmachined from the collar should not exceed 50% of the pitchof the thread on the shank of the eyebolt.

Continuous SlingsA continuous sling should not be used with pairs of eyebolts.Where a continuous sling is used with a pair of eyebolts, the loadapplied to the eyebolts is considerably increased by the tension inthe horizontal portion of the sling and this may overstress theeyebolts. Whenever lifting with eyebolts in pairs supported byslings, always use rigging assemblies with individual sling lengths.

Loading Not Aligned With Threaded EndWhere the centre-line of loading is not in line with the axis of thethreaded end of the eyebolt, including where a two-leg sling isconnected to a pair of eyebolts to support a load, the followingapply:

(a) The diameter of the boss of the tapped hole, into which theeyebolt is screwed, should be no less than the diameter of thecollar of the eyebolt.

(b) The angle between the centre-line of the loading on the eye ofthe eyebolt and the plane containing the eye of the eyeboltshould not exceed 5°, unless an adequate reduction is madeto the WLL.

Where the perpendicular loading is applied (sometimes called‘trunnion lifting’), the eye of the eyebolt should be aligned in thevertical plane.

Where two pairs of eyebolts are fitted to a single item, liftingshould be effected by means of two two-leg slings and a spreaderbar to ensure the load is distributed evenly across the eyebolts.This arrangement also allows the load to be readily applied toeach eyebolt in the plane of the eye.

Attachment of slingsEyebolts are not designed to have hooks attached directly tothem. An approved shackle should always be fitted to the eyeboltand the slings are then attached to the shackle.

Working Load Limits On Pairs Of EyeboltsThe Working Load Limits specified in the Australian Standardapplies to a direct vertical loading. Where eyebolts are used inpairs and the lift is taken by means of two-legged slings,allowance must be made for the angle between the sling legs, and the Working Load Limit decreased accordingly.

The table on the following page indicates Working Load Limit oftwo-legged slings with included angles of 30°, 60° and 90°, withthe comparative value when the load is carried through a singleeyebolt.

The load applied to eyebolts, when used in pairs and threadedwith continuous slings, is increased considerably by the tension in the horizontal portion of the slings. It is most important,therefore, that continuous slings are not used. Correct andincorrect methods are indicated.

Correct and incorrect methods of pairing sling legswith eye bolts

WARNINGWhere a single eyebolt is used care should be taken to ensure thatit remains screwed home throughout the lifting operation. If asingle eyebolt is used for lifting and there is a possibility that theload will rotate or twist, a swivel should be used in the system toprevent the eyebolt unscrewing.

WARNING• Never lift with an eyebolt that is not correctly seated on its collar.

A dangerous condition is created when incorrectly seated eyebolts are loaded.

• Never use excessive leverage to tighten an eyebolt. Excessive tightening will cause stretching and deformation of the thread resulting in a dangerous condition.

VLBS WELD-ON LOAD RING

• The new VLBS forged out of high tensile CrNiMo steel with an innovative design offers many advantages.- up to 50 % higher WLL.- the two protective supporting lugs (inside the load ring)

are patented and they improve the connection with theattachment in addition to the protected clamping spring.

- The support effect is exceptional, especially if the ring is side loaded or the lifting point is welded on an uneven work piece.

- Pink powder coating, a VIP recognition attribute and a heat indicator.

• Easy and quick to weld assembly.

• Compact and shapely design.

• High dynamic and static strength.

• Forged suspension ring acc. to EN 1677, grade 80,electromagnetic crack detected, pink powder coated; meets the requirements of the appropriate safety authorities.

• The welding block has been forged of material 1.0570 (St 52-3)and clearly stamped with the permissible WLL. The patenteddistance lugs assist in achieving the correct root weld.

• The spring reduces vibration induced noise.

• Important: By the special weld design (continuous HV), the requirements of DIN 18800 are fulfilled, i.e., a closedweld avoids corrosion and thus suitable for outdoor use.

• Distinctive features for VLBS: A protected springmaintains the load ring in every required position. The partsare assembled in such a way that they remain captive.

Disconnect Loads from BelowIt is common to place pre-fabricated structures and sections intoposition via crane, where the most convenient and stable point forlifting will be at the top of the load. Nobles Ratchet Shackles offeran economical solution, permitting disconnection remotely frombelow.

Ratchet SystemSimply attach lanyards of sufficient length to each end of theactuating belt. The ratchet wheel and handle are actuated byworking the belt back and forth. This action winds the pin out inone direction only.

SafetyFor safety, the shackle pin must be fully wound in. The pin has anextension piece that extends past the winding handle when the pinis not fully wound in.
