The Ronstan Series 30 Ball Bearing Orbit Block - Double is a compact and lightweight component designed for various marine rigging applications. This double block, identified by part number RF35202, utilizes all-composite reinforced polymer materials for its construction, contributing to its strength-to-weight ratio. It features a precision design with an optimized number of ball bearings to minimize friction during operation. The use of fiber-reinforced composites in the block head, cleat arms, and beckets further reduces overall weight. This product is suitable for IT and marine businesses requiring reliable hardware for sailing systems. It addresses the need for efficient load management in applications such as mainsheet and spinnaker systems on dinghies up to 5 meters (16 feet), as well as halyard, vang, and backstay applications on similar sized boats. It can also be integrated into control line systems on larger yachts.
This block is designed for mainsheet systems and spinnaker sheets on dinghies up to 5 meters (16 feet). It is also suitable for halyard, vang, and backstay applications on boats up to 5 meters (16 feet), and control line applications on larger yachts.
The Ronstan Series 30 Ball Bearing Orbit Block - Double can accommodate a maximum rope diameter of 8mm (5/16").
The maximum working load limit (M.W.L.) for this block is 450kg (990lbs). The breaking load (B.L.) is 900kg (1,980lbs).
The sheave and ball bearings are made from high compression strength carbon black Acetal. The frame and cheeks are constructed from toughened, glass fiber reinforced Nylon, and the link is UV stabilized, multi-strand impregnated SK75 Dyneema.
