Cable Sheaves

Nylatron GSM Cable Sheaves

Traditionally cable sheaves have 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 Main Characteristic
 
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 sheaves increase steel cable life up to threefold.

No surprise then that 'Nylatron' GSM 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 sheaves at prices competitive with those of steel ones. They can be mechanically finished to any specification. Alternatively special sheaves can be cast to customers: own designs.
