Description
Bronze Fork & Blank represents premium rigging hardware engineering, combining the proven Sta-Lok Forged Turnbuckle design with precision machined fork termination and blank end for versatile installation options. This elegant assembly features a sophisticated Machined Threaded Fork at one termination with detailed dimensional specifications matching the Threaded Fork End (B16) series, whilst the blank termination provides complete flexibility for custom rigging solutions.
Available in seven thread sizes from 1/4" to 3/4" UNF with comprehensive fork specifications, Bronze Fork & Blank accommodates demanding rigging applications requiring secure mechanical connection combined with custom termination capability. The fork widths range from 6.4mm to 19.1mm with corresponding pin dimensions and adjustment capabilities from 76mm to 168mm, ensuring optimal fit and performance for diverse rigging configurations.
The advanced Sta-Lok Forged Turnbuckle design exceeds the breaking load of today's high-strength compacted strand wire ropes through superior forging and machining processes utilising high-strength bronze alloy construction. The aerodynamic design philosophy creates one of the strongest and most elegant bronze turnbuckles available on the world market today, optimising strength-to-weight ratios whilst maintaining the structural integrity essential for demanding marine applications.
The precision Machined Threaded Fork provides secure mechanical connection to chainplates, tangs, and rigging hardware with precise load distribution through the fork pin system. The blank termination allows for custom rigging solutions including eye swages, Sta-Lok terminals, or other mechanical connections to suit specific installation requirements. The high-quality polished chromium finish ensures superior corrosion protection and maintains lustrous appearance throughout extended marine exposure.
