Data sheet
FrD Low friction anodized Duralumin ring
- Hard anodizing treatment
- Friction resistance with good sliding coefficient under high load
- Improved rigidity
- Corrosion resistance (to nickel salt build-up, approx. 300 hours)
- The hard oxide layer develops 50% as an overlay and 50% in the metal
- Anthracite gray color, orange marking
Follow the basic rules of seamanship to ensure maximum ring load.
- A larger eye increases ring strength, and the splice angle at the groove should be at least 15 degrees.
See examples of applications with our textile connectors, shackles, carabiners, loops and locks in the category PLUG & SAIL.
