Turnbuckles: The Basics
A turnbuckle is a component for rigging equipment. Operators can use this device to adjust the ropes, wire and/or cable of the rigging to the right the tension. It is a very basic type of mechanical device. The most common components are:
- A minimum of two threaded eye bolts
- A small metal frame
A Crosby turnbuckle is one example of this product at its most capable. It comes in many configurations to meet the requirements of its applications including offshore oil rigs and in mining, marine, and towing industries. They are engineered to meet and even exceed ASME specifications.
