FrD low-friction rings in Duralumin Nodus Factory™ are lightweight, reliable and durable. Essential aboard your sailboat with our textile connectors "Textile shackles, Loops, Lock®,...", you'll be able to optimize your deck layout for greater safety and performance, and with any type of rope: Dyneema®, polyester, Technora® (aggressive grip).
Materials: Duralumin / Anodized
Higher-load friction rings available here
Friction Ring choice - Fr-D 20-25
Description
They can be used for just about anything and with any type of rope, although some Technora® ropes have an aggressive grip.
They are suitable for creating hoists and stunts of all types:
- Boom downhaul
- Backstay
- Genoa trimmers
- reefing lines
Advantages
- High mechanical strength
- Low coefficient of friction
Discover examples of applications with its textile connectors, shackle, carabiner, loop and lock in the PLUG & SAIL category.
Data sheet
FrD Low friction anodized Duralumin ring
- Hard anodizing treatment
- Friction resistance with good sliding coefficient under high load
- Improved rigidity
- Corrosion resistance (to nickel salt build-up, approx. 300 hours)
- The hard oxide layer develops 50% as an overlay and 50% in the metal
- Anthracite gray color, orange marking
Follow the basic rules of seamanship to ensure maximum ring load.
- A larger eye increases ring strength, and the splice angle at the groove should be at least 15 degrees.
See examples of applications with our textile connectors, shackles, carabiners, loops and locks in the category PLUG & SAIL.
Benefits
- Low coefficient of friction:
Reduces wear and heat
Improves system efficiency
Reduces effort required to maneuver ropes
Improves control and precision
- Good tensile and flexural strength:
Ensures long service life
