Wichard Single Block 55mm with Cam

The Wichard 64108 Single Plain Bearing Block is designed for sailing applications where strength, durability and easy line adjustment are essential.

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

Designed for 12 mm rope, the 64108 combines a swivel head, becket and cam cleat in one practical unit, making it particularly useful in purchase systems where the line needs to be adjusted and secured directly at the block.

Swivel Head, Becket & Cam Cleat

The swivel head gives the block greater freedom to align with the direction of the load. Its universal head design also provides a wide choice of fastening possibilities for different rigging configurations.

The integrated becket provides an additional attachment point for the rope, helping create efficient purchase systems without requiring a separate fixing point.

The built-in cam cleat allows the working line to be quickly secured and released at the block. This provides convenient control when trimming or adjusting the system, especially in applications where frequent line adjustments are required.

Built for Demanding Marine Use

The head configuration and load straps are manufactured from 316L stainless steel, while the terminal fitting also uses 316L stainless steel. Lightweight POM cheeks protect the sheave, while the sheave and cam saddle are made from composite material.

With a working load of 480 kg, breaking load of 1500 kg and weight of 302 g, the Wichard 64108 offers a strong and practical solution for demanding sailing systems.
