Barton Marine High Load Eye with 22mm Bore – Heavy-Duty Marine Hardware

High Load Eye 22mm Bore

Ergonomically designed to maximize the strength and efficiency of the eye. With HV500 hard anodizing and the profile of the curved surfaces, these have been developed to keep friction as low as possible. The range has amazing strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for use as kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and anywhere where weight saving and strength are important.

Wear Resistance

The hard anodizing HV500 has amazing low friction properties. After over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, no visual signs of wear on the anodized coating could be found.

Features:

• High load eye compared to a standard plain bearing
• block on average across the range
• Friction increased by only 15%
• Strength increased by 272%
• Weight reduced by 51%
• Data based on using 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core

Available in six sizes. Manufactured in marine grade aluminium with a hard anodised finish. These lightweight high load eyes are suitable for a variety of uses on board, from lazy jacks, barber haulers, mast base tidies to stanchion lead eyes. The smallest size can be attached using a 3mm line with a bullseye diameter of 6mm. The largest size can be attached using a 16mm line with a bullseye diameter of 28mm.

The Barton Marine High Load Eye with a 22mm bore is a precision-engineered marine component designed for demanding load applications aboard sailing vessels and yachts. Crafted from marine-grade aluminum and finished with a durable hard anodized HV500 coating, this high load eye offers exceptional strength, low friction, and corrosion resistance. Its ergonomic profile maximizes strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for critical rigging points such as kickers, tweakers, and genoa barber haulers where minimizing weight while maintaining durability is essential. The advanced anodizing process ensures enhanced wear resistance, with no signs of deterioration after extensive abrasion testing, guaranteeing long-term performance even in harsh marine environments.
