Ronstan Series 40 Ball Bearing Orbit Block Auto Ratchet with Dyneema Link Head

The Ronstan Series 40 Ball Bearing Orbit Block Auto Ratchet with Dyneema Link Head represents a revolutionary advancement in sailing hardware. Available in several configurations, including RF46101, RF46102, RF56101, RF76101, RF56100, and RF46111, this block is designed to cater to various diameter and load requirements, making it versatile enough for a range of sailing setups.

Crafted with precision engineering, the blocks incorporate a ball bearing system for smooth operation, ensuring effortless handling of sheets and lines, even under high load conditions. The addition of an auto ratchet feature enhances functionality by automatically sensing the load and engaging the ratchet when needed, offering superior holding power. This feature makes the block an excellent choice for demanding sailing environments, where reliable holding power is crucial.

The auto ratchet mechanism boasts an impressive 14:1 holding power ratio, setting a new standard in the industry for holding performance. Whether you're navigating challenging conditions or executing critical maneuvers, these blocks provide the confidence and control needed for smooth sailing.

Ease of installation is another key feature. The Dyneema Link Head ensures secure attachment while simplifying the fitting process. Dyneema is known for its exceptional strength and durability, making it the perfect material for the link head. This thoughtful design element not only improves the block's performance but also reduces the complexity of maintenance, contributing to a hassle-free sailing experience.

These blocks are built to withstand demanding conditions, with a Breaking Load (B.L.) ranging from 500kg (for the 40mm models) to 1250kg (for the 70mm model), and a Maximum Working Load (M.W.L.) of up to 175kg (for the 40mm models). They are compatible with ropes up to 9mm in diameter, making them suitable for a wide range of rigging setups and applications.

Weighing just 35 grams, these blocks are incredibly lightweight, contributing to improved handling and performance without adding excess bulk to your rigging setup.

Replacement Dyneema Links (model RF9003-07) are readily available, ensuring easy maintenance and prolonging the lifespan of the block.
