Series 30 Ball Bearing Block Single Becket Option LashingBall Bearing Blocks™ boast the highest strength-to-weight ratio available.  This is achieved through all-composite reinforced polymer materials and multiple attachment options. Their precision design provides the optimum number of ball bearings for minimum friction while weight reduction is achieved through the use of fibre-reinforced composites in the block head, cleat arms and beckets. Highest Working Load in its ClassThe proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system (Series 30 and larger) features high compression grade Acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range.The sheave and bearing system is supported by a fibre-reinforced load frame, computer modelled and optimised using advanced stress analysis methods. The Dyneema® Link, used in multi-sheave blocks, is produced from high spec SK75 fibre, which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, and provides the final connection from the block to the load point. Simple, Versatile & Secure AttachmentThe single block is easily lashed to an attachment point, and can also accept Dyneema® Links and shackles for a variety of efficient attachment alternatives. The Dyneema® Link used in multi-sheave blocks is easily fitted and secured by a removable pin. The Dyneema® Link can also be removed and replaced by a shackle, custom lashing or strop.These blocks are far more compatible with Dyneema®/Spectra® lines, carbon laminate connection points and webbing than traditional blocks with steel loop tops or shackles.Low Profile & CompactThe two way head in the single lashing block allows for alignment at 0° or 90° orientation, while the single swivel block allows for full articulation.The flexible Dyneema® Link used in multi-sheave blocks provides 0° or 90° orientation. It connects directly to the head of the block rather than to an intermediate head post. This reduces weight and gives the lowest possible profile while allowing full articulation. Beckets have been carefully designed to minimise height.Features: Lightweight Highest working load in its class Secure, versatile and secure attachement Low profile and compact Ultra low profile thru-sheave becket Self-lubricating Nylatron® sheave and full contact bearing for high dynamic loads Applications: Mainsheet systems and spinnaker sheets on dinghies to 5M(16') Halyard, vang and backstay applications on boats to 5M(16') Control line applications on larger yachts

Series 55 Ratchet Mount Orbit Block - Fiddle Becket SwivelFeatures: Up to 20:1 holding power Smooth easing of sheets High performance cleating Automatic ratchet blockNow you can enjoy the flexibility of setting up your ratchet blocks to suit yourself. Ronstan is the only company that offers a ratchet block with both auto and manual engagement modes*. In the auto mode of the ratchet mechanism engages when load is applied, but switches off when it's released. This lets the sheet run out smoothly and freely-great for rapid easing of the sheet and for gybing asymmetric spinnakers. In manual mode, the ratchet mechanism can be switched on or off as required. This is the preferred mainsheet set-up for may top sailors. Try the block in both modes and see which you prefer - you really can't go wrong.* Selected Series 55 models. Awesome ratchet block holding powerQuite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks™ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our patented sheave cross-hole geometry. Its holding power is up to 21:1, almost double that of our nearest competitor. The unique sheave design has 12 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have only 8 faces with an angled resistance to line movement. Our Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimize rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under loadMaterials: Sheave: Anodized Aluminium Ball Bearings: High compression strength carbon black Acetal Frame/Cheeks: Toughened, glass fiber reinforced Nylon Rope Link: UV stabilized, multi-strand impregnated SK75 Dyneema®

Series 40 Ball Bearing Orbit Block - CheekFeatures: Ultra Lightweight Low friction 2-stage Orbital ball bearing system Highest working load in its class Low profile and compact High performance cleating Base suits curved mounting surface Low mounting points for maximum strength LightweightKilogram for kilogram of working load, BB and RT Orbit Blocks™ are the world’s lightest. The unique orbital design allows the bearing to only be in the active areas of the floating sheave. This minimizes the mass of the inactive return race and hub.Weight and bulk are further reduced in the different block configurations. The ball bearing single and becket block has a through-sheave becket arrangement. The result? The lowest weight possible.Multi-sheave blocks have only single intermediate cheeks and an ultra-light and efficient head arrangement. This gives a 30% weight saving advantage over the nearest competitor. Other brands just link together their single blocks. This results in unnecessary double cheeks between each sheave, held together by a heavy steel channel across the top of the block.Highest Working Load In It's ClassThe orbital ball-bearing arrangement gives the largest possible bearing race diameter. This maximizes load performance. The proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system features high compression grade acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range.The floating sheave and bearing system is supported by a fiber-reinforced load frame. The design was computer modeled to be stress optimized.Recommended fasteners - 3 x 4mm (5/32") countersunk head screwsApplications: Mainsheet systems on spinnaker sheet on dinghies to 5m (16ft) Spinnaker sheets on dinghies, sportsboats and small keel boats to 5m (16ft) Halyard, vang and backstay applications on boats to 8m (26ft) Control line applications on larger yachts Materials: Ball Bearings - High compression strength carbon black Acetal.

Low Friction Ring - 21mm HoleLow Friction rings can be used as a lightweight alternative to a block in some applications. They are best suited for systems requiring relatively small line deflection angles, or for high static loads. The design achieves a nicely rounded internal profile for smooth control line trim under load, and a deep external groove to retain the rope securely within the large shoulders when spliced into a loop. Features: Compact & lightweight Low friction Large shoulder secure allowing for rope lashing Durable Simple & reliable design Low maintenance Specifications: Color: Black Box Dimensions: 1"H x 2"W x 3"L WT: 0.1 lbs UPC: 9316800525966
