Sta-Lok Bronze Turnbuckles

Sta-Lok Bronze Turnbuckles, also known as Rigging Screws or Bottle Screws, feature a sleek, aerodynamic body design resulting in a rigging tensioner that is stronger than the appropriate diameter wire, including the higher load rating of compacted strand. Sta-Lok Bronze Turnbuckle Open Bodies are forged from high tensile, bronze alloy with a bright polished chrome finish.

Jimmy Green Marine can supply the full range of terminal options on the Bronze Open Turnbuckle Body e.g.

• Toggle and Swage Stud - Toggle Fork at one end for articulation (typically for attachment to chainplates) - Swage stud at the other end for professional swaging termination to wire
• Toggle and Blank - Toggle Fork at one end for articulation (typically for attachment to chainplates) - nothing on the other end

 Sta-Lok are a British manufacturer with excellent foundations for consistently delivering top quality marine fittings:

• Strict quality control procedures - ensure total material conformance and traceability.
• Premium quality stainless steel and bronze alloy selection process - guarantees reliable tensile strength and corrosion resistance.
• Pro-active research and development - keeps Sta-Lok at the forefront of design and technology.
• Versatile machining and production facilities - provides rigging solutions from one off designs to full production runs.

Sta-Lok launched their wire products into the marine market at the London International Boat Show, Earls Court in 1972.

Sta-Lok introduced their new design of Compression Wire Terminal in 1973 with an innovative DIY concept that simplified the process and made it a practicable alternative to hydraulic swaging for amateur and professional riggers.

Important things to remember about Sta-Lok DIY Self-Fit Compression Wire Terminals.

All terminals are supplied with wedges suitable for 1x19 wire unless otherwise specified. For 7x19 or 7x7, use prefix 8 instead of 1 e.g. 833 = Sta-Lok eye For Dyform/Compacted Strand, use prefix D before the 1 e.g. D133 = Sta-Lok eye

The larger diameter thread options on threaded stud terminals are strongly recommended for use with Dyform/Compacted strand wire ropes.

All terminals are suitable for both right-hand lay and left-hand lay wire construction.

All terminals are designed for use with stainless steel wire ropes - using stainless steel terminals with galvanised wire rope will cause galvanic action between the terminal and the wire resulting in rapid failure of the wire.

Sta-Lok Terminals are not suitable for use with wire ropes with fibre cores.
