Cable Sheaves
Cable Sheaves have traditionally been made from steel, a material with several drawbacks. Steel sheaves shorten the useful life of steel cables; they increase the dead weight when scaling up; and they are prone to rust. Cable sheaves cast from 'Nylatron' GSM, a self-lubricating nylon 6, have none of these disadvantages.
Nylatron GSM Cable Sheaves Characteristics
- They weigh only about one-seventh as much as steel sheaves. So, mobile cranes are more stable and hoisting machines can lift bigger loads. Fitting time is also shorter.
- Nylatron GSM is corrosion-free, so offshore environments present no problems.
- Nylatron' GSM cable sheaves increase steel cable life up to threefold.
No surprise then that 'Nylatron' GSM cable sheaves are being used more and more on all kinds of lifting equipment: from the largest container cranes to mobile cranes; from offshore cranes to grabs. A range of standard cable sheaves at prices competitive with those of steel ones. They can be mechanically finished to any specification. Alternatively special cable sheaves can be cast to customers own designs.
