Split Overhaul Balls
Details the SOBA series of split overhaul balls, available in Type A and Type B configurations. These components provide necessary downhaul weight for wire rope diameters ranging from 1/4″ to 1-1/8″. The datasheet maps model numbers (SOBA 5 to SOBA 100) to precise weights—ranging from 11 to 220.5 lbs—and dimensional parameters, highlighting their standard blue primer finish (RAL 5017).
Optimized Cable Tensioning: High-Durability Split Overhaul Balls
Split Overhaul Balls are essential rigging components designed to provide necessary downhaul weight, ensuring that the wire rope remains taut and the overhaul system functions correctly even without a load. These components are engineered for ease of installation and high-impact performance in various crane and lifting configurations.
Engineered Strength & Quality Design
- Versatile Type Selection: Available in two distinct geometries—Type A (spherical) and Type B (elongated/oval)—to suit different space and operational requirements.
- Standard Industrial Finish: All units are factory-painted in a highly visible blue (RAL 5017) for easier tracking and safety in industrial environments.
- afety Integration: Each unit is designed to work in alignment with rigorous safety standards to maintain optimal rigging performance.
Operational Flexibility & Customization
- Broad Weight Range: Standard models cover weights from 11.0 lbs up to 220.5 lbs, allowing for precise matching with system requirements.
- Custom Wire Compatibility: Weights can be modified as an option to accommodate larger wire rope diameters beyond the standard specifications.
- Precision Dimensions: Engineered with specific hole diameters (∅H) and total lengths (TL) for Type B models to ensure a stable fit on the wire rope.
