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

Product Description

The McKissick Powdered Metal Sheave with bronze bushing bearing is a compact wire rope sheave engineered for lighter-duty lifting and rigging applications where reliable performance, low operating speeds, and a small overall assembly envelope are required. Powdered metal construction — produced through a sintering process that compresses and fuses metal powder into a dimensionally accurate component — provides consistent quality and is well suited to moderate-load service conditions. This sheave is appropriate for use in smaller block assemblies, light industrial rigging, and utility or maintenance hoisting systems operating within its rated capacity.

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 options in the McKissick sheave lineup. The bronze bushing bearing provides a proven, low-maintenance bearing solution with natural lubricity and good corrosion resistance, making it well suited to intermittent-use applications and environments where contamination or limited maintenance access could compromise more complex bearing assemblies. Bronze bushings perform reliably across a range of industrial conditions and are a common specification in block and sheave assemblies used throughout the rigging industry.

McKissick is a recognized manufacturer of sheaves, blocks, and rigging hardware for the oil and gas, construction, marine, and industrial sectors. This sheave is designed 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.
