The Harken 16mm Double Block with Becket (part number 407) is a compact rigging component designed for managing small synthetic control lines. This unit features a 16mm sheave and a patented bearing system utilizing stainless steel balls within a captive grooved race, facilitating smooth operation. With a maximum working load of 204kg (450lb) and a breaking load of 544kg (1200lb), it is engineered for applications requiring precise line control under specific load conditions. The block accommodates a maximum line diameter of 5mm (7/32in) and measures 54mm (2-1/8in) in length, weighing 28g (1oz). This product is suitable for IT environments where specialized, small-scale line management or tensioning is required for non-standard setups, potentially in laboratory or custom hardware integration scenarios, rather than general IT infrastructure. It addresses the need for a lightweight, high-strength component for specific mechanical control tasks.
