<. &hat manufacturing process is used to make a shackle body to EN %2;;<'
# +orging
.asting
Profiling
&elding
%9. As an alternative to drop forging! a shackle body to EN %2;;< can be manufactured by:
+abricating by welding
.asting
Profiling from solid
# Upsetting the ends of a bar to form eyes then bending the bar to shape
%%. 5f there is a flash line around the shackle body! how was it made'
*y casting
*y upsetting and bending from a bar
# *y drop forging
*y profiling
%/. EN %2;;< reuires that marking is done in a way that will not impair the mechanical properties of
the shackle. =ow is this done in practice'
# *y using stamps on a low stress part of the shackle body
*y using the largest stamps possible to make it visible without being too deep
*y using the smallest stamps which are still legible and minimum force
*y using an engraving techniue
%2. &hich part of a shackle body is a low stress area'
# "he outside of the crown of the body
"he straight sides of the body
"he inside of the crown of the body
"he side of the eyes
%3. &hat EN %2;;< shackle pins should be marked with the grade! traceability code and
manufacturer>s symbol'
Nut and bolt type pins
Screwed pins
"hose with a diameter less than %2mm
# "hose with a diameter of %2mm and above

%4. &hat EN %2;;< shackle pins should be marked with either the grade mark or traceability code'
# "hose with a diameter of less than %2mm
"hose with a diameter of %2mm and above
Screwed pins
Nut and bolt type pins
%7. &hy is the shackle pin larger in diameter than the shackle body'
*ecause it is made of a lower grade material than the shackle body
*ecause it is sub?ect to more wear than the shackle body
# *ecause it is designed to withstand a point load in the centre
*ecause it provides a bearing surface to mating components
%0. &hat is the main stress on a shackle pin is point loaded in the centre'
*ending
Shear
*ending and shear
# *ending and double shear
%;. &hat is the main stress on a shackle pin with a uniformly distributed load'
*ending and double shear
*ending and shear
# )ouble shear

%<. &hilst e$amining an in-service bow shackles with screwed pins! which of the following would cause
you to withdraw a shackle from further service'
# &ith the pin fitted but not tightened! it can move to touch the sides of the unthreaded eye
&hen the pin is screwed fully in! there is a gap between the pin collar and the eye
"here are shallow bruise marks on the pin
"he minimum material thickness of the crown is 7@ less than the diameter of the straight side
