DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT 32900-526F Sheave - Flat Bottom 5" Wide X 26" Diameter NEW
All DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT sheaves are cast from 356-T6 aluminum. This is a heat treated material giving over 33,000 lbs of tensile strength making it one of the strongest types of aluminum castings available.
Each sheave is fitted with an iron bronze bushing that take either 1-1/4" or 3/4" diameter shafts. All DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT sheave axles are made from hi-strength chrome plated shafting. With almost twice the load bearing capability of regular bronze bushings, the DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT sheaves are designed to take the full load at either entry or exit points of the pull.
DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT also offers flat bottom sheaves. The purpose of these sheaves is to allow parallel seating of 3 cables on the sheave – this prevents ’bunching’ of the cables which in turn often causes one or more of them to ride up the side of a standard radiused sheave, possibly causing damage to the cable jackets.
