Description

The Ronstan Series 55 RT Ratchet Orbit Block™ (RF56100) has 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 20:1, 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 load.
