Introduction

ZS1214, ZS1014C, ZS1014B, ZS1618C and ZS1618B are supplied with jaws and rear blocks prepared for use with ‘ZS-RLB’ Remote Lock Back Switch allowing pre tensioning of the jaws for release and remote operation of the jammer (see page 18).

The ZS and XX range of clutches and jammers are designed to generate high compressive loads on the rope to ensure the core bears the greater part of the load without over stressing the polyester or other ﬁbres of the outer braid or cover. The structure of the jammers and clutches can withstand loads beyond the stated max holding load. The data shown, represents the maximum safe achievable holding power we recommend for each product for a given diameter with polyester covered ropes.

The actual load achievable can vary considerably according to the quality and construction of the rope used. Before selecting the rope to use in the product, check:

• The actual measured diameter under load.

• Other cover blends can be successfully be held with ceramic jaw sets.

• The cover is a close ﬁt on the core with an interface layer or ﬁbre coating. Nominal section should be round.

• Sleeved areas are fully pre-tensioned with smooth entry and exit tapering.

• The load rating for the rope and safety factor recommended by the rope manufacturer.

Recent development in rope manufacture has centred on the use of blended covers, where high tech ﬁbres such as Aramid, Technora, Dyneema or Vectran are co-braided with polyester or polypropylene. Whilst hardwearing, with a high degree of heat resistance, these covers can be harder to hold in clutches or jammers compared to polyester covered lines. See Page 36 or contact

the Special Projects Team for advice on custom jaw surfaces to suit speciﬁc blended covers, including high line speed protection.

ZS Alloy Jammers and ZS Carbon Jammers

The jammers are relatively simple to operate, but because of the high loads it is important to fully understand their function before use.

1. To Open : Pull handle out until latch clicks. The latch must be fully engaged to hold the jaws

open.

The rope can now be inserted and run freely in either direction. On large diameter ropes it may be easier to lead the rope through the jammer with the jaws removed. (see maintenance).

2. To lock line : Hoist sail and tension with winch. Before easing load from the winch, release the

latch in the handle and push the jaws forward onto the rope. Continue to apply ﬁrm pressure on the handle as the load is eased off the winch onto the jammer. Once the jaws are fully engaged onto the rope, they will slide forward a few millimetres as the full load is secured.

3. To Re-Open : The full load in the rope must be returned to the winch before the jammer can

be opened. Never attempt to the open jammer without transferring the load back onto the winch. Only when the load is secured on the winch is it safe to pull the handle back and engage the latch. The jaws are now fully locked open and the rope can be controlled from the winch to run freely through the jammer.

Safety Feature : ZS Jammers can only be released after the rope load has been transferred to

the winch drum.

ZS Open Jammer

The ZS OPEN can be locked onto any loaded line to give the perfect solution for peeling spinnakers, headsails, reeﬁng and dealing with an emergency.

1. Secure strop to padeye or winchbase of sufﬁcient strength and aligned as close to the line of load as possible.

2. Open the sideplate and engage the ZS OPEN onto the line. Then close ensuring the sideplate latch is securely closed.

3. Slide jammer along the line so the strop is tight (this reduces runout) and engage jaws, by releasing the jaw latch.

4. Carefully release the original loaded line from winch so the strop and ZS OPEN jammer take the load.

Releasing the ZS Open Jammer

The ZS Open Jammer is released by holding the handle and sliding the body forward, not pulling the handle back. Ensure there is enough slack in the strop to allow disengagement of the Jaws.

Important Notes

How to use

Ensure prior to transferring a load that the:

How to use

• Coverplate is fully engaged onto the main body

• Latches are locked into the location pins

This ensures that the burst loads are shared by both side plates. Failure to do this will cause the body to permanently deform and the cover plate will no longer ﬁt. If the unit should be overloaded the white PTFE bearing will show signs of deforming at its contact with the upper and lower faces of the body.

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Clutches

The XX powerclutch offers smooth and controlled release on highly loaded lines. Optimised for high performance 8-12mm diameters, the XX ﬁlls the critical load holding gap between clutches and high load ZS jammers.

As well as the standard version, the XX is offered as XXB with ceramic jaws for increased load holding and XXC with ceramic jaws and lightweight body. All models are offered with ‘lock open’ feature, allowing the line to freely move in both directions with the handle closed and all models can also be supplied ready for remote control.

Line feeding into the XX0812 : Using a

long screwdriver, place its shaft through front bullseye and locate tip on front face of lower jaw. Push backwards until the jaw stops. With the jaws in this position raise and fully open the handle. This locks the jaws back at their biggest clearance and allows easy threading of your new rope.

This process is not necessary for the XX Lock

How to use

Open Version.

Release : As a safety feature, no release action

begins until the handle is rotated beyond 60 degrees.

To protect the user and rope ﬁbre, normal hand pressure will not release the rope above this load.

Important : Always start the release process

with the handle in the closed position for full release efﬁciency. If at any time you only part open the handle we advise completely opening and closing (cycling) the handle, with the line secured on the winch, to ensure the mechanism is re-set for full release next time. Failure to do this will result in poor holding power and worn jaw surfaces.

Sleeving : Secondary sleeving (internal or

external) of the rope signiﬁcantly improves the performance levels of any clutch or jammer. Any external sleeving should be a very tight ﬁt. If you are going to sleeve your rope, ensure that the overall diameter does not exceed 12mm and has a taper to run freely through the clutch. Core

inserts provide the smoothest transition for fast line speed applications.

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Lock Open Clutch Operation

1. With the lock open latch in the UP position

the line runs freely through the XX

2. When the latch is pushed DOWN with the handle closed, the line is held secure

3. To release the line, the handle can either be opened normally, OR

4. With the handle in the closed position, move the lock open latch to the UP position. When the load is taken securely on a winch the jaws will automatically release, allowing the line to run free, with the handle still in the closed position. The jaw will remain open until the latch is returned to the down position, even if the handle is cycled.

Watch the XX Demonstration Video at www.spinlock.co.uk

How to use

With your new rope threaded you can now close the handle. As the handle closes, the XX clutch will automatically engage the rope.

ZS Alloy Jammer

ZS Carbon Jammer

If ﬁtting to the deck, install the jammers forward of the winch, close enough for easy operation of the handle and latch, ensuring enough space is left behind the product for removal of the jaw assembly for maintenance. The jammers are provided with studs (A4-70 stainless steel) in a pattern. This helps spread the load into lightweight composite decks or masts.

They are a tight ﬁt to ensure good thread engagement. Drilling templates for deck layout are provided with the product.

Warning : The studs should be screwed a maximum of 15mm into the body. Over tightening may damage internal bearing surface

Side Mounting : Replace the six body fasteners with longer bolts. These can be inserted from

either side by removing the round insert nuts. These must be at least A4-70 stainless steel bolts if the maximum safe working loads are to be reached. Refer to speciﬁcation chart (page 7).

Double check the hole pattern is correct for the jammer before drilling. The pattern is not reversible.

Mast Mounting : Mast mounting plates are available, see page 34 for details. CAD templates

can be download from:

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Clutches

1. Align the clutch with the required rope lead, checking height and minimising the angle

of alignment.

2. Drill two holes to suit the M8 fasteners using template (never drill through the clutch). For spars, etc. where no access is possible, use an M8 tap to thread the surface material, ensuring the material has sufﬁcient strength to carry the full clutch load. The fasteners must be replaced with M8 A4-80 stainless socket cap or CSK machine screws for the XXB

and XX0812, or M8 titanium socket cap or CSK machine screws for the XXC0812.

3. Check each fastener (already pre-assembled into clutch) to make certain that its hexagonal head

is properly seated in its locking moulding.

4. Fasten clutch ﬁrmly after sealing upper threads with silicone sealant. In through-deck applications any excess thread can now be ground off.

To access the fasteners or remove jawset : The XX0812 and XXB0812 is supplied ﬁtted

with 2 x High Tensile A4-80 stainless steel hex head fasteners and the XXC0812 is supplied with 2 x M8 Titanium Hex Head Fasteners.

If you want to ﬁt your own fasteners, you will only need to remove the rear end moulding to gain access to the aft ﬁxing position.

ZS Alloy, ZS Carbon and ZS OPEN Jammers

Spinlock ZS Jammers are made from the highest quality materials for durability and low maintenance in a harsh marine environment.

ZS Jammers are carefully designed for easy and regular servicing at sea. Their life and performance will be improved if regularly ﬂushed with fresh water.

The jaws can be easily removed for inspection and replacement:

For ZS Alloy and ZS Carbon

• Remove the screw securing the rear block.

• Remove rear block.

• Pull out the handle and jaw assembly.

For ZS OPEN

• Open the sideplate to allow removal of the jaw assembly, remove jaw engagement spring - compress jaws together and extract sideways.

ZS Alloy, ZS Carbon and ZS Bonded

Maintenance

All

• Check for excessive wear on the grip surface - the black anodised surface, if worn, will have silver aluminium showing through.

• Check condition of the white bearings surfaces are clean and smooth. Replace if necessary.

• Ensure all internal faces are clean and smooth.

• Ensure the load and rope type are considered when selecting new jaw set types (see page 16).

The white jaw bearings should be lubricated only with silicone grease.

Do not use mineral oil or solvent based lubricants like WD40.

Replacement jaw sets must be installed with grease provided.

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Clutches

General maintenance:

Three Simple Steps – ﬂush, drain and lubricate

1. The internal mechanism should be regularly ﬂushed out with fresh water through the end bullseyes, and the handle pivot area.

2. Check that the lower ‘drainage’ holes in both end mouldings are clear of any debris. This will help reduce the accumulation of any rope debris building up inside the product.

3. Lubricate handle pivot areas with a silicone grease. Unless this simple procedure is carried out regularly, the speciﬁed performance will not be achieved. Take care not to contaminate rollers or jaw surfaces with any lubricant.

Note : Any decrease in performance is usually caused by lack of maintenance and servicing. The

XXC0812 and XX0812 relies on the smooth running of 2 sets of roller bearings for maximum performance. The rollers and their ‘running’ surfaces must remain as clean as possible.

Removal from deck

If removing the XX0812 from the deck, care must be taken to ensure the fasteners do not damage the internal mechanism and plastic rear moulding. Do not hammer fasteners from below.

Watch the XX Servicing Video at www.spinlock.co.uk

Full servicing and Jaw Replacement:

The clutch should be given a thorough service periodically to ensure maximum performance is maintained. The clutch mechanism is fully accessible whilst attached to the deck - even with other clutches banked alongside - by the following steps.

1. Remove the rope from the clutch.

2. For Lock Open Versions, ensure the lock open latch is in the down position.

3. Lift handle and rotate fully open and then back to 90º vertical. Access to the M5 Allen screw

on the top surface that retains the rear moulding. Remove this screw.

4. Hold rear cover at top, pull out from the top (See Diagram 3) pivoting around the top.

5. When the top of the moulding has rotated free of the body, lift the rear moulding to unhook

its base from the body and slide the jawset out. Excessive force is not necessary when performing removal correctly and may damage irrepairably the jawset if used.

6. After removal, thoroughly clean all components and body with fresh water and inspect the following critical items :

Roller Cages (both are identical) - unclip from jaw and look for signs of wear or ﬂats on the roller surfaces. If ﬂats are found replace & consider upgrade to XX-ROLL+. Ensure rollers cages are re-attached in correct orientation.

Jaw Bearing Surfaces - ensure that both are clean and smooth.

Jaw Grip Surfaces - clean off any rope debris. Check for excessive wear on the grip surface. If the black anodised surface has aluminium showing through, replace with a new XX-KIT, XXB-KIT or XXC-KIT assembly as appropriate.

Warning : do not use XXC-JAW in XX clutches as serious damage, harm and injury could occure.

Jaw Linkplates - check these are attached to both sides of both jaws with pins and secured by both pins. Ensure free movement of link plates/pins in jaws.

Release Pin - located centrally in top jaw. Check for any signs of surface wear.
