To fix, the bolt is pushed through the shackle and automatically engaged by a locking mechanism on the side. Correct engagement of the bolt is both visible and audible with a click. To unlock the lock, the two levers of the locking mechanism are pressed together and the bolt can then be removed with ease. CCS-FASTLOX is ideal for applications with a high number of assembly and dismantling operations, thanks to its simple quick-release fastener.
As well as being much quicker to install, the CCS-FASTLOX offers two other advantages over a shackle with a bolt connection: there is no risk of accidental loosening of the bolt connection by rotating, nor is there any risk of the thread ‘seizing’. The RUD shackle’s new locking mechanism also makes it much easier to assemble, thanks to operation without a cotter pin. Locking is effortless and the risk of losing components is reduced, even when wearing work gloves.
The CCS-FASTLOX is suitable for chain connection. It has a rotated clevis cardan joint, which makes it less susceptible to bending. It is available in grades 12 (ICE) and 10 (VIP) and in nominal sizes from 4 to 16 (ICE) or 6 to 22 (VIP). By means of labelling or stamping on the shackle and shackle bolt, the grade and size of the components can be read at any time. All variants of the CCS-FASTLOX are also equipped with an integrated RFID transponder as standard; this can be used to retrieve the ID number registered in the factory by using an NFC-based reader or smartphone. This enables a simple and fast inspection process, as components can be properly identified in seconds and with legal certainty. With this ID number, it is not difficult for users to access application-related information, such as comprehensive product data and instruction manuals, via the BUDDYtron app, for example.
The CCS-FASTLOX is available now.
