McKissick Bar Steel Sheave - 1/4 in x 2-1/4 in - Self-Lubricating Bronze Bushing

Product Description

The McKissick Bar Steel Sheave with self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing is a highly compact wire rope sheave designed for lighter-duty lifting and rigging applications involving 1/4 in wire rope where a minimal assembly envelope, solid bar steel construction, and low-maintenance bearing operation are the primary requirements. Bar steel construction provides dependable industrial-grade strength and durability suited to light-duty rigging and hoisting applications operating within the sheave's rated capacity. This sheave is appropriate for use in small block assemblies, light industrial rigging, utility hoisting systems, and maintenance applications where space constraints and simplified upkeep are key considerations.

This sheave accommodates wire rope up to 1/4 in maximum cable diameter and features a 2-1/4 in outside diameter, making it one of the most compact options available for this rope size and well suited to highly space-restricted block assemblies and rigging installations where a minimal footprint is essential. The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing incorporates embedded lubricant within the bronze matrix that is released gradually at the bearing surface during operation, providing continuous lubrication without the need for regular external greasing. This feature makes the sheave particularly well suited to installations where maintenance access is limited, service intervals are infrequent, or simplified upkeep is preferred over standard bronze bushing arrangements that may require periodic re-lubrication.

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 comply with applicable load ratings, rigging standards, and inspection requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation throughout the service life of the assembly.
