McKissick Wire Rope Sheave - 1/2 in - 6 in - Bronze Bushing - Bar Steel

Product Description

The McKissick bar steel sheave with bronze bushing bearing combines the solid, economical construction of bar steel with the proven reliability of a bronze bushing bearing, providing a dependable solution for wire rope rigging applications across a range of general industrial environments. Bar steel construction offers adequate strength for a wide variety of rigging tasks and represents a cost-effective option for applications where service loads and conditions are well within the capacity of bar stock sheave construction. The 6 in outside diameter sheave is designed to accept up to 1/2 in wire rope, maintaining proper rope-to-sheave diameter ratios that reduce bending stress and contribute to extended wire rope service life.

The bronze bushing bearing offers a reliable and corrosion-resistant bearing solution that performs consistently in environments where moisture, dust, or other contaminants may be present. Bronze bushings are widely used in rigging hardware for their durability, moderate load capacity, and resistance to seizing, making them well suited for applications with moderate cycle frequencies and varying environmental conditions. Standard bronze bushing bearings may require periodic lubrication as part of a regular maintenance program to ensure continued smooth operation and bearing longevity, distinguishing them from self-lubricating bronze bushing designs.

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.
