McKissick Wire Rope Sheave - Blk - Manila Rope - 3/4 in - 3-1/2 in GALVI

Product Description

The McKissick Old Style Block Sheave is a traditional single-sheave replacement component designed for use with manila rope in legacy block and tackle systems, barn rigging, and general utility applications where a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing and galvanized iron sheave construction are required. This sheave accommodates manila rope cable up to 3/4 inch in diameter and features a 3-1/2-inch outside diameter galvanized iron sheave supported by a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, providing corrosion resistance and reliable rope guidance in outdoor and agricultural environments.

The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing provides smooth, consistent sheave rotation under load while reducing the frequency of maintenance required compared to plain bore configurations. Bronze bushing construction offers good corrosion resistance for use in outdoor and moisture-exposed environments, and the self-lubricating properties make this sheave well suited for applications where regular greasing is not practical. The galvanized iron sheave construction provides additional corrosion protection and is compatible with the natural fiber characteristics of manila rope, making this sheave appropriate for barn, farm utility, and general-purpose block and tackle applications.

The Old Style designation indicates this sheave is designed to match the dimensions and configuration of traditional McKissick block sheaves, making it a suitable replacement component for existing older-style blocks in service. The self-lubricating bronze bushing variant offers improved sheave rotation and reduced maintenance compared to the plain bore version of the same Old Style series. It is intended for use in applications where maintaining compatibility with legacy equipment is required, including barn hay systems, farm utility rigging, and general-purpose block and tackle arrangements using natural fiber rope.
