Ronstan Ball Bearing Orbit Blocks™ feature the unique orbital version of the Ronstan 2 stage bearing system. Recirculating ball bearings are positioned exclusively in the loaded area of the sheave and a second full contact bearing maintains low friction across the full working load range. Combined with composite reinforced polymer materials, Orbit Blocks™ offer maximum strength to weight ratio for high load and dynamic applications.
Ronstan Orbit Dyneema® Link blocks feature a soft loop manufactured from high-grade SK78 fibre, the Dyneema® link is easily fitted and secured by the moulded retainer clip. The flexible link allows limited articulation in a 0° or 90° orientation and maximum weight saving. Soft attachment blocks also reduce noise onboard and avoid damage to other fittings.
Dyneema Link blocks are recommended for the following applications:
- Mainsheet and Spinnaker sheet systems¹
- Halyard, vang and backstay applications²
- Control lines on larger boats
