Description

Modern ball bearing blocks with a wooden housing made from varnished ash wood for lightly running halyards and sheets.
BARTON sheaves made from ACETAL have large ball bearings made from DELRIN running in the outer ring, whereby the loads are distributed onto a large number of balls in all directions. These lightly running blocks have 23% less friction than those with friction bearings.
The wooden chassis is firmly bolted to the core of the exchangeable sheave, which is how the design is able to obtain its large strength.
The fittings are made from stainless steel, the sheaves are bronze coloured.
