Stainless Rigging screw Jaw & Jaw – lasting and versatile

Stainless rigging screws with jaws are available in a large range of sizes and designs. Jawed rigging screws are extremely popular and are great for use in all sorts of applications, because they create adjustable tension simply when the body is rotated. 

Made of rust-proof stainless steel, they’re suited to both outdoor as well as indoor use and can withstand salt water and sea air. Marine-grade rigging screws are typically manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel, a premium alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and durability even in harsh marine environments. The jaw-end design features open fittings at both ends, allowing for versatile connections to various anchor points, cables, or other rigging hardware.

Stainless Steel Rigging Screws with Jaw Ends

Stainless steel rigging screws with jaw ends, commonly known as jaw-to-jaw rigging screws, are essential hardware components in marine, industrial, and construction applications. These precision-engineered devices provide reliable tension adjustment and secure connections for cables, ropes, and rigging systems.

Key Features and Benefits

The jaw-end configuration offers significant advantages over eye-end alternatives. Each jaw features a clevis pin with safety wire or split ring, enabling quick, secure connections while maintaining the ability to pivot freely. This universal movement capability is crucial for applications where angular adjustments occur during operation.

Modern rigging screws include locking nuts on each threaded end, preventing unintentional loosening due to vibration or load cycling

Applications and Uses

These versatile components find extensive use in yacht rigging, cable tensioning systems, and various marine applications. They excel as tensioners for ropes, cables, and lines in marine, sailing, boating, and industrial applications. Construction projects, architectural cable systems, and equipment mounting also benefit from their reliable performance.

Rigging screws function by adjusting length or tension through their threaded mechanism, with two threaded elements attached to a central frame. This design allows precise control over system tension, critical for structural integrity and operational safety.
