Discover our selection of Nodus Factory pulleys and NUB. Ideal for sailboats, dinghies and catamarans. Different sizes are available.
Pulleys have evolved over the last few years towards a new method of attachment that is more efficient than the stainless steel shackle: lashing and the dyneema® textile shackle.
The main evolution is that for a pulley with textile fastening the forces pass directly through the center of the pulley "the sheave" which improves the resistance of the pulley and reduces the risk of breakage.
Advantages of the pulleys with textile fixing:
- In case of sheave breakage, the load is maintained by the lashing or the textile shackle.
- The shape and design of the pulleys require fewer parts
- Lighter and stronger
- No corrosion and no maintenance
- Automatic load alignment
Check that the lashing or textile shackle is attached to a trigger guard or chainplate with rounded edges.
