Ronstan Series 40 Auto Ratchet Block With Swivel Shackle Head
- SKU
- RORF46100
The popular Ronstan Series 40 auto ratchet block with a swivel shackle head.
With automatic models, the ratchet mechanism engages when load is applied, but switches off when it's released. This lets the sheet run out smoothly and freely-great for rapid easing of the sheet and for gybing asymmetric spinnakers.
• Up to 14:1 holding power - highest available!
• Smooth easing of sheets
• Swivel shackle head for unlimited block rotation.
• Stainless steel shackle head for ultimate durability and compatibility with harsh fixing points.
Awesome ratchet block holding power
Quite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks™ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our patented sheave cross-hole geometry. The Series 40 delivers up to 14:1 holding power, almost double that of our nearest competitor.
The unique sheave design has 8 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have an angled resistance to line movement. Our Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimise rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under load.
Simple and secure attachment
A swivelling shackle is used for attaching the block, which allows for unlimited twists of the block.
Smooth easing of sheets
With auto models the sheet runs out smoothly and freely as soon as the ratchet mechanism disengages. With ratchet engaged,the sheave's cross hole geometry eliminates the 'shuddering' ease-out that you can expect from traditional v-groove ratchet blocks.
