McKissick Wire Rope Sheave - 1/2 in - 4 in - Bar Steel

Product Description

The McKissick bar steel sheave with self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing provides a dependable and low-maintenance solution for wire rope rigging applications where economical construction and reduced servicing requirements are priorities. Bar steel construction offers solid strength suitable for a wide range of general industrial rigging tasks, representing a practical and cost-effective option for applications where service loads and conditions are well within the capacity of bar stock sheave construction. The 4 in outside diameter sheave is designed to accept 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 self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing eliminates the need for periodic relubrication under many service conditions, making it a practical and maintenance-friendly choice for installations where regular servicing may be difficult or infrequent. Bronze bushing bearings are well regarded in rigging applications for their corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable performance in environments where moisture, dust, or other contaminants may be present. The combination of bar steel sheave construction and self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing makes this sheave a cost-effective choice for general rigging applications where low maintenance and reliable bearing performance are valued without the premium of forged steel construction.

McKissick, a Crosby Group brand, supplies sheaves, blocks, and rigging hardware for demanding industrial applications across construction, marine, oil and gas, and mining sectors. 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 recommendations to ensure safe and reliable operation.
