The fully machined aluminium alloy cheek plates leave material only where it contributes to the load carrying capacity of the block to maximise strength-to-weight ratio. The Orbit sheave has captive acetal or Torlon\u00ae ball bearings for side thrust loads, eliminating the need for side retainer plates. This further reduces weight and allows for a wider bearing surface that can accommodate longer Torlon\u00aeneedles creating higher working loads and greater efficiency.<\/p>\n<h4>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.specialrig.com\/en\/ronstan\/track-traveller-systems\/ball-bearing-traveller-systems.html\">Ball bearing traveller systems<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ronstan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.specialrig.com\/en\/ronstan\/track-traveller-systems\/ball-bearing-traveller-systems.html\">ball bearing traveller systems<\/a> deliver the high strength and low friction required for optimising sail trim and responding quickly to changing conditions. Car bodies are machined to precise specifications, then honed to an exceptional finish before being treated and anodised for maximum corrosion protection. Stainless steel elements are put through a special high energy finish process to achieve a uniquely smooth edge and surface finish. Ronstan traveller systems have been put to the test by Volvo Ocean Race teams, Vend\u00e9e Globe challengers, and the professionals on the prestige international circuits who demand the highest performance and dependability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronstan\u2019s emergence in the keelboat racing world was supercharged twenty years ago with the acquisition of Frederiksen, the highly reputed Danish sailboat hardware brand.
