Low-friction ring | Master
A low-friction ring is a smooth and lightweight alternative to traditional blocks and is manufactured from anodized aluminum. This ring is designed with a generous inner radius to reduce rope wear and features a groove on the outside for easy attachment of lines or shock cord. They are particularly useful for backstays, jib and spinnaker blocks, boom vangs, and other systems subject to static loads.
AREA OF USE
Low-friction rings are used instead of blocks in backstay, jib, and spinnaker systems, boom vangs, and other systems with primarily static loads.
