T92100 - Barton Marine Barton Tufnol Snatch Block for Wire and Fibreoptic Cables

Tufnol Snatch Block for Wire & Fibreoptic Cables

The Barton Tufnol snatch block is engineered specifically for low maintenance and static-free operation. Utilizing a Tufnol sheave, this block prevents static electricity from accumulating, thus eliminating the risk of electrical discharge. Tufnol, known for its bearing-grade quality, provides a low-friction surface, which enhances the reliability and longevity of the block by minimizing moving components.

Constructed with marine grade 316 stainless steel for its cheeks, pin, and retaining nuts, this block is ideally suited for heavy-duty commercial applications, even in the most demanding environments.

Specifications:

• Safe Working Load: 350kg (770lbs)
• Break Load: 1500kg (3300lbs)
• Max Rope/Wire Size: 10mm (3/8”)
• Weight: 78 grams (2.8 oz)
• Length: 190mm (7.5”)
• Width: 115mm (4.5”)
• Thickness (Maximum): 53mm (2 1/16”)

Fibreoptic & Wire Bending

This snatch block accommodates both fibreoptic cables and wire ropes up to 10mm in diameter, ensuring that the minimum bend radius is maintained to prevent failures. Its generous sheave diameter prevents compromising the bend radius, providing an additional engineered safety factor that prolongs the lifespan of wire under continuous movement.
