This unique dual-system technology ensures that the pulley operates with the low friction of ball bearings for light-load, high-speed applications, while seamlessly transitioning to the immense strength of a plain bearing system as the load increases. The result is a block that delivers the best of both worlds: fast, responsive action and immense strength without compromise.Ideal Applications:This 18 mm pulley is perfectly suited for a wide range of control systems on racing and cruising sailboats where high loads and low friction are essential.
