McKissick Wire Rope Sheave - 1/2 in - 8 in - Plain Bore - Forged Steel

Product Description

The McKissick forged steel sheave with plain bore bearing provides a straightforward and robust solution for wire rope rigging applications where structural integrity and ease of installation on a customer-supplied pin or shaft are the primary requirements. The forged steel sheave body delivers the high strength and impact resistance characteristic of McKissick rigging hardware, making it a dependable choice for heavy industrial service in construction, marine, oil and gas, and mining environments. The 8 in outside diameter sheave is designed to accommodate up to 1/2 in wire rope, supporting proper rope-to-sheave diameter ratios that minimize bending stress and contribute to extended wire rope service life.

The plain bore bearing configuration offers a simple and cost-effective bearing arrangement well suited for intermittent use, lower rope speeds, or installations where the sheave is mounted directly onto a customer-supplied pin or shaft within a block or rigging assembly. This design eliminates the complexity associated with roller or bushing bearing systems, making it an economical choice for applications where operating conditions do not require enhanced rotational efficiency. The finish bore ensures dimensional accuracy for a proper and secure fit on standard rigging pins and shafts.

McKissick, a Crosby Group brand, is recognized throughout the lifting and rigging industry for producing sheaves, blocks, and rigging hardware to exacting standards for heavy industrial service. This sheave is suitable for use in fixed or traveling block assemblies, crane and derrick systems, and other wire rope running rigging configurations. All installations should be performed, inspected, and maintained in accordance with applicable rigging standards and the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and reliable operation.
