The U-shackle is an essential component in the assembly of power link fittings, designed to ensure a secure and reliable connection in the intricate network of overhead power lines and substations. Its robust design, typically available in U-type and UL-type configurations, reflects the functional requirements of the electrical power industry. The U-type is recognized by its U-shaped ring, while the UL-type denotes an extended version of the U-type, providing additional length for specific applications.
These shackles are engineered to withstand substantial loads, with nominal breaking loads ranging from 70 kN to 420 kN, catering to a variety of operational demands. The choice of Q235B round steel for the material signifies a commitment to durability and strength, further enhanced by the heat forging process and a protective hot-dip galvanized coating. This meticulous manufacturing process ensures that the U Shackle can endure the environmental challenges it faces while maintaining the integrity of power transmission systems.
