Crosby® HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles

The Crosby® HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles are a type of mechanical device commonly used in rigging and lifting applications. They are designed to provide a secure and adjustable connection between two points, allowing for the tensioning or lengthening of a load-bearing line or cable.
Here are the key features and components of the Crosby® HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles:
1. Material: These turnbuckles are typically made of forged carbon steel, providing excellent strength and durability. The material is often coated with a protective finish, such as hot-dip galvanization, to enhance corrosion resistance.
2. Jaw and Eye Ends: The HG-227 turnbuckles have a jaw end on one side and an eye end on the other. The jaw end consists of a U-shaped jaw, which can be opened or closed by rotating the central body of the turnbuckle. The eye end features a circular opening that allows for easy attachment to a hook, shackle, or other connecting device.
3. Threads and Adjustability: The central body of the turnbuckle contains right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other. This design allows for easy adjustment of the turnbuckle's overall length by rotating the body in either direction. The threads are precisely machined to ensure smooth operation and secure locking.
4. Load Ratings: Crosby® HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles are available in various load capacities to accommodate different working loads. The load rating is typically stamped on the body of the turnbuckle for easy identification and selection based on the application requirements.
5. Safety Factor: These turnbuckles are designed with a safety factor to ensure a reliable and secure connection. The safety factor is the ratio of the breaking strength of the turnbuckle to the working load limit. Crosby® turnbuckles are engineered to meet or exceed industry standards and regulatory requirements.
6. Applications: HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles are commonly used in rigging, lifting, and tensioning applications in industries such as construction, maritime, oil and gas, and manufacturing. They can be used to tension wire ropes, guy wires, and other load-bearing cables.
It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for proper installation, use, and maintenance of Crosby® HG-227 Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles to ensure safe and reliable operation.
