Ronstan S40 RTA OrbitBlock,Cheek,Clockwise Rotation (RF46151)

Awesome ratchet block holding power
Quite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks ’?½ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our patented sheave cross-hole geometry. Its holding power is up to 14:1, double that of competitors.

The unique sheave design has 12 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have only 8 faces with an angled resistance to line movement. The Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimize rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under load.
