An anchor point comprising a connecting means for connecting the anchor point to an object to be fixed and/or handled, with an eyelet bend connected to a base body and a connecting eyelet hooked into the eyelet bend for connecting an anchoring or lashing means. The connecting eyelet has a smaller radius in its bend hooked into the eyelet bend than in its other bend, and carries two dividing elements opposite one another with respect to their longitudinal axis projecting into the interior space enclosed by the connecting eyelet. The connecting eyelet carries a projecting movement limiting stop with respect to its central fiber opposite the dividing elements, in each case on the outside for limiting the depth of immersion of the connecting eyelet in the eyelet bend together with the dividing elements which project on the inside and are likewise designed as movement limiting stops. Due to the movement limiting stops, the maximum diameter of the section of the connecting eye carrying the movement limiting stops is greater than the clear width of the eyelet bend, wherein the contour forming the movement limiting stops is shaped so that there is essentially only line contact between the movement limiting stops and the eyelet bend in the stop arrangement.

A ring nut. A suspension ring includes a base having a sleeve with a threaded bore that is rotatably mounted in a penetration opening. The sleeve is supported by a circumferential annular collar at a bearing surface, surrounding the penetration opening, that is on an exterior at the end of the sleeve facing away from the underside of the base with a non-rotationally symmetrical head profile. The sleeve protrudes at the lower end into a central opening of a disc resting against the underside of the base and is connected thereto in a rotationally fixed manner but does not project at the underside from the disc. A locking member on the base can be brought into a locking position, cooperating with the head profile for locking in the rotational direction, and into a neutral position where the head profile is released in the direction of rotation.

A mechanical connecting link for tow straps and pintle hitches configured to quickly and easily disassemble even during complex pulling scenarios. The mechanical connecting link also is configured to retain its structural integrity even during heavy loads. The mechanical connecting link has at least two modular wide body connector components on which looped tow straps may engage. The modular wide body connector component configured to keep the bend radius of any engaged tow strap large enough to prevent abrasion and to resist damage to the tow strap loop during pulling scenarios.

The arrangement comprises a fluid bearing comprising a first fluid bearing element located in a bearing housing and a piston located in a pump housing. The bearing housing comprises a bearing housing opening. The pump housing comprises a pump housing opening. The first fluid bearing element is connected to the piston by means of a connection means extending from the first fluid bearing element through the bearing housing opening to the piston through the pump housing opening. The piston is arranged to reciprocate in the pump housing. The pump housing is connected to a fluid reservoir by means of a first inlet. The bearing housing comprises a first outlet for allowing fluid to exit the bearing housing. The arrangement further comprises a fluid transport means fluidly connecting the pump housing and the bearing housing.
