Cast Sheaves Rigging With Ball Bearings
Focused on rigging applications, this document details the SEF series of cast sheaves fitted with ball bearings (e.g., 6002-RS to 6210-RS). It provides specifications for tread diameters ranging from 3.15 to 13.58 inches. The document highlights the ability to adjust grooves to specific wire rope diameters and the availability of different shaft sizes, making these sheaves ideal for precision rigging and routing.
Engineered for Precision & High-Performance Rigging
The Cast Sheave with Ball Bearings offers a robust and reliable solution for rigging applications where smooth rotation and consistent load tension are essential. Designed specifically for rigging, these sheaves utilize high-quality ball bearings to provide superior load transfer and smoother operation than standard bushings, critical for structural stability in controlled lifting environments.
