McKissick Powdered Metal Sheave - 3/8 in x 3 in - Self-Lubricating Bronze Bushing

Description du produit

 The McKissick Powdered Metal Sheave with self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing is a compact and maintenance-friendly wire rope sheave designed for lighter-duty lifting and rigging applications where space constraints and low-maintenance operation are key considerations. Powdered metal construction — produced through a sintering process that compresses and fuses metal powder into a precise, near-net-shape component — delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and is well suited to applications involving moderate loads and lower operating speeds. This sheave is appropriate for use in smaller block assemblies, light industrial rigging, and maintenance or utility hoisting systems.

This sheave accommodates wire rope up to 3/8 in maximum cable diameter and features a 3 in outside diameter, making it one of the more compact offerings in the McKissick sheave range. The smaller sheave diameter is suited to applications where block size and overall assembly envelope are restricted. The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing provides continuous lubrication at the bearing surface through the gradual release of embedded lubricant during operation, reducing wear and eliminating the need for regular external greasing. This feature is particularly advantageous in installations where routine maintenance access is limited or where simplified servicing is preferred.

McKissick is a recognized manufacturer of sheaves, blocks, and rigging hardware for the oil and gas, construction, marine, and industrial sectors. This sheave is intended for use as a replacement or component part within compatible McKissick block assemblies and rigging systems. All installations should be carried out in accordance with applicable load ratings, rigging standards, and inspection requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation.
