Wichard Single Block 55mm for 12mm Rope

The Wichard 64130 Single Plain Bearing Block is designed for sailors who need high load capacity, reliable rope handling and a practical attachment system.

Its 55 mm composite sheave runs directly on a stainless steel bush, creating a simple and robust plain bearing mechanism. Wichard specifically designs this range to withstand high loads and recommends it for applications with relatively static loading.

Designed for 12 mm rope, the block combines substantial strength with compact dimensions and a total weight of only 184 g.

Swivel Snap Shackle

The integrated swivel snap shackle provides a practical attachment solution while allowing the block to rotate and align more naturally with the direction of the load.

This configuration is particularly useful when the block needs to be attached or repositioned conveniently within the rigging system. The swivel action also provides greater freedom of movement as the direction of the working load changes.

Built for High Loads

The Wichard 64130 offers an impressive 720 kg working load and 1500 kg breaking load, providing excellent strength for demanding onboard applications.

The head configuration and load straps are manufactured from 316L stainless steel, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance in marine environments.

Lightweight POM cheeks protect the composite sheave, while the terminal fitting is also manufactured from 316L stainless steel.
