McKissick Bar Steel Sheave - 3/8 in x 3 in - Self-Lubricating Bronze Bushing

Product Description

The McKissick Bar Steel Sheave with self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing is a compact, low-maintenance wire rope sheave designed for moderate-duty lifting and rigging applications where reliable performance and reduced servicing requirements are essential. Constructed from bar steel, this sheave provides solid industrial-grade strength and durability appropriate for use in block and tackle assemblies, overhead crane systems, hoists, and general-purpose rigging applications operating within its rated capacity. Bar steel construction delivers a dependable and practical solution across a wide range of industrial service conditions.

This sheave accommodates wire rope up to 3/8 in maximum cable diameter and features a 3 in outside diameter, making it a compact option well suited to smaller block assemblies and space-restricted rigging installations. The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing is the defining feature of this sheave, incorporating embedded lubricant within the bronze matrix that is released gradually at the bearing surface during operation. This continuous self-lubrication eliminates the need for regular external greasing in many service conditions, reducing maintenance intervals and making the sheave particularly well suited to installations where access is limited, service frequency is low, or simplified maintenance is preferred over more complex bearing arrangements.

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.
