Tufnol Snatch Block for Wire Fibreoptic Cables
The Barton wire snatch block has been developed specifically as a low maintenance static free block. The Tufnol sheave means that static cannot build up in the block and cause electrical discharge. Tufnol is a bearing-grade material so it gives a low-friction surface for the wire to run on and minimizes the number of moving components, giving it reliability and durability.
The cheeks are made from marine grade 316 stainless steel as is the pin and retaining nuts. This block is ideal for commercial applications in the toughest of environments.
Specifications:
Fibreoptic Wire Bending
Fibreoptic cables and wire ropes require a minimum bend radius to stop failures. This block is suitable for both fibreoptics and wires up to 10mm in diameter. The large sheave means that the bend radius of the wire is not compromised and provides an additional engineered safety factor to prologue the life of wire if continual movement around the same section of wire is required.
The Barton Marine Tufnol Snatch Block Model T92100 is engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments, specifically designed for wire and fibreoptic cables. Its robust construction features a Tufnol sheave that prevents static build-up, eliminating electrical discharge risks often associated with static-prone materials. The low-friction, bearing-grade Tufnol surface ensures smooth wire movement, reducing wear and tear while minimizing maintenance requirements. The block’s cheeks, pin, and retaining nuts are crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, making it suitable for harsh marine and industrial applications where corrosion resistance and durability are critical.
This snatch block boasts a safe working load of 770 pounds and a break load of 3,300 pounds, providing ample safety margin for various lifting and pulling operations. Its design accommodates wire or fibreoptic cables up to 3/8 inch (10mm) in diameter, with a large sheave that maintains an optimal bend radius, essential for fibreoptic cable integrity and longevity. The lightweight construction, weighing only 2.8 ounces, combined with compact dimensions, ensures ease of handling and installation in tight spaces. Whether used in commercial marine, industrial, or specialized applications, this block offers consistent performance and long-term reliability.
Its engineered features make it ideal for scenarios requiring frequent movement of cables around bends, helping to prevent failures caused by excessive bending. The Tufnol sheave’s static-free properties and high break load ensure it can withstand rigorous conditions, providing a dependable component for complex cable management systems. Overall, the Barton Marine Tufnol Snatch Block combines durability, safety, and precision in a compact package, making it an essential tool for professionals demanding high performance from their cable handling equipment.
