These blocks have a more traditional swivel head and shackle which makes them ideal for use in applications where the attachment points are difficult to access or inspect, or where the standard Dyneema® link of the Orbit range may not be suitable for the intended attachment point. Use where the attachment point is a fixed saddle or pad eye and free rotation is critical.
Series 40 Ball Bearing Blocks are suitable for sheet applications on dinghies, sport boats, and small one-design keelboats, and for control lines on larger boats. They feature a precision two-stage bearing system for better durability, lighter weight, and low-friction performance. Models with swivels feature stainless steel shackles.
