Description

Performance and Self-Lubricating Technology

The Fr P-Tech® ring is made from a high-quality engineering thermoplastic (POM), offering a naturally low coefficient of friction. This property makes it the ideal partner for technical ropes, particularly Dyneema® braids.

Onboard applications:

Versatile and robust, P-Tech® rings are suitable for a wide range of static or low-friction applications:

  • 3D adjustment of headsails (jibs and genoa).

  • Double-sheet blocks and deck-mounted blocks.

  • Block and tackle systems and Dyneema backstay lines.

Discover examples of applications using our textile connectors, shackles, carabiners, loops, and locks in the PLUG & SAIL category.

Why choose P-Tech® engineering resin?

Using Nodus Factory friction rings in combination with our textile connectors (Loops, Locks, Shackles) allows for a minimalist and ultra-efficient rig setup.

  • Optimal slippage: A coefficient of friction of 0.25, ideal for smooth maneuvers with Dyneema®.

  • Lightweight and compact: Significantly reduces weight in the tops and bulk on deck compared to a pulley with sheaves.

  • Marine durability: Exceptional resistance to UV rays and corrosive environments. Continuous operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

  • Zero maintenance: Unlike mechanical pulleys, the friction ring has no moving parts, eliminating any risk of seizing.
