Stainless Steel Fixed Eye Snap Shackle

The fixed eye snap shackle is a robust, quick-release connector commonly used in marine and rigging applications where rapid disengagement under load is critical. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel, it combines strength, functionality, and durability for both industrial and recreational uses.

This model features a fixed upper eye, which provides a secure anchoring point and resists side loading. The lower section includes a spring-loaded snap mechanism with a release pin, allowing for single-handed operation and easy detachment even when under tension.

Key Specifications for YD-2:

• Material: SUS304 stainless steel

• Length (L): 70 mm

• Width (W): 47 mm

• Eye Opening (B): 19 mm

• Pin Diameter (d): 12 mm

• Weight: 92 g

• Working Load Limit (WLL): 220 kgf (2.16 kN)

This component is well-suited for:

• Sailboat rigging (sheets, halyards, spinnaker tacks)

• Industrial lifting or tethering points

• Quick-disconnect scenarios in outdoor equipment or safety harness systems

Use Cases for Fixed Eye Snap Shackles

Fixed eye snap shackles are engineered for applications where secure fastening and rapid release are essential—especially when under tension. Thanks to their stainless steel SUS304 construction, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding environments. Below are common use cases across various industries:

1. Marine and Sailing Applications
   Widely used in sailboats for attaching halyards, sheets, and control lines. The fixed eye provides a stable attachment point, while the quick-release pin allows for fast line changes under load—ideal for spinnaker sheets or emergency gear detachment.

2. Rigging and Lifting Systems
   Integrated into load-bearing rigging setups for stage, industrial, or construction applications. The shackle allows operators to detach equipment quickly without unthreading lines, saving time during assembly or teardown.

3. Outdoor and Tactical Gear
   Applied in climbing, rescue operations, and tactical kits to secure ropes, pulleys, or harness components. The snap shackle’s one-handed release is advantageous in scenarios requiring speed and precision, even when gloved.

4. Kiteboarding and Paragliding
   Used as a quick-release for harness leashes or control bars. The YD-2 and YD-3 sizes are preferred for their higher load capacities while maintaining a compact form.

5. Industrial Safety and Rescue
   Integrated into fall-arrest or safety line systems where emergency detachment may be required. The secure closure under tension ensures load integrity until intentional release.
