Single CORE pulley, standard sheave

High efficiency pulley with aluminum shells.

Ideal for flying FX and aerial apparatus.

RONSTAN CORE SINGLE Acetal Sheave pulley.

RONSTAN CORE pulleys are highly appreciated for their manufacturing qualities and their efficiency for acrobatic uses.

Their ALU shells ensure good dissipation of the heat caused by the ropes and resist friction well.

Product information

Core Blocks™ are a true all round solution.

A tuned 2-stage bearing system provides excellent performance across the full working load range with an integrated thrust bearing feature and the resilience to handle high dynamic or static loads.

Acetal sheave, alloy cheeks and stainless fixings complete the durable package.

For their reliability and long lifespan, these nautical pulleys will be satisfactory in hauling or dynamic lifting applications.

Universal Bearing

Dynamic and high static load performance

The Ronstan Universal Bearing incorporates our proven 2-stage bearing system

* Stage 1 - Under moderate loads, Acetal ball bearings ensure minimum friction.
* Stage 2 - Under heavy loads, where deformation of ball bearings alone would result in increased friction, a sliding Acetal bearing on a polished stainless steel race takes over, maintaining low friction performance.

Additionally the ball bearings are configured to act as a thrust bearing between the sheave and cheeks, preventing the sheave from rubbing on the cheeks and causing friction when the line lead in and out of the block isn’t perfect.

Alloy cheek plates

Block cheeks are manufactured from the highest quality alloy for maximum strength.

Material optimisation and the cut-away design minimises weight and allows easy fresh water rinsing of salt and debris from the bearings.

Cheek design has been further styled with flaring at the block throat and reduced gap between the cheek and sheave, minimising rope wear.

Universal head

The head assembly incorporates a brass bearing washer to provide smooth 360° rotation of the post and shackle.

A set screw arrangement allows the head to be locked at 0° or 90°.

Shackles are made of high quality 316 grade forged stainless steel. In the context of a human or acrobatic lifting application, we recommend replacing the shackle supplied with the pulley with a self-locking shackle for an even higher level of security. Consult the range of WICHARD stainless steel shackles.
