McKissick Forged Steel Sheave - 1 in x 9-7/8 in - Bronze Bushing

Product Description

The McKissick Forged Steel Sheave with bronze bushing bearing is a heavy-duty wire rope sheave engineered for demanding lifting and rigging applications requiring a large-diameter sheave capable of handling 1 in wire rope with reliable performance and minimal rope fatigue under sustained or high-cycle loading. The forged steel sheave body delivers superior strength, toughness, and resistance to impact compared to cast alternatives, with a consistent grain structure that ensures reliable integrity under the dynamic and shock loads encountered in high-capacity rigging systems. This sheave is well suited for use in large crane blocks, multi-part line rigging systems, and demanding industrial configurations across the oil and gas, construction, marine, and industrial sectors.

This sheave accommodates wire rope up to 1 in maximum cable diameter and features a 9-7/8 in outside diameter, providing a favorable rope-to-sheave diameter ratio that reduces wire rope bending stress, minimizes fatigue, and extends rope service life in high-cycle or sustained-load applications. The bronze bushing bearing provides a proven, low-maintenance bearing solution with inherent lubricity and good corrosion resistance, performing reliably across a broad range of industrial conditions including intermittent use, moderate operating speeds, and environments where access for routine maintenance may be limited. Bronze bushing bearings are a widely specified option in heavy block and sheave assemblies throughout the rigging and lifting industry for their durability, simplicity, and ease of service.

McKissick is a well-established manufacturer of sheaves, blocks, and rigging hardware serving the oil and gas, construction, marine, and industrial sectors. This sheave is suitable for use as a replacement or component part within compatible McKissick block assemblies and rigging systems. All installations should comply with applicable load ratings, rigging standards, and inspection requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation throughout the service life of the assembly.
