Exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio.
Captive ball bearings for side thrust loads require no side retainer plates, reducing
weight and providing a wider bearing surface for the Torlon
®
needle rollers.
Side cheeks incorporating head structure and hub are precision machined as a
single par t from solid alloy, leaving material only where it contributes to the load
carrying capacity of the block and eliminating the need for additional fasteners.
Head posts of swivel blocks can be locked at 0° or 90°.
Removable becket pin allows lines to be spliced prior to fitting.
Halyard blocks have a removable pin for attachment to deck padeyes or the
mast collar, providing a low lead aft to organisers or winches.
Shape and edge radii of central hole in hub are compatible with fail-safe strops.
Webbing blocks can be used in applications where swivel head and shackle
attachment is not required, to achieve fur ther weight savings.
Stand-up blocks have rubber suppor t bases that relax to 90° (typically for
foreguy/afterguy) or 60° (for halyard and other lead block applications).
Runner blocks have a unique cheek shape and guide rollers to help keep
the line engaged with the sheave.
Foot block base plate and hub section is machined in one piece from a single
block of alloy, for maximum integrity, with mounting bolts seated within the base
plate and hub to minimise bending loads and prevent “racking over” of the block.
Foot block cover plate can be removed for service access without removing the
bolts that secure the block to the deck.
