New assortment of high-quality Low Friction Rings

A complete assortment of high-quality low friction rings from Swedish marine equipment manufacturer Rutgerson has been introduced on the marine market. They come in four different sizes and are made of high strength aluminum with a durable and low friction hard coat anodising in black.

“These rings are extremely resistant and strong, need no maintenance and both cost and weight is low compared to blocks, says Charlotte Rutgerson who is managing director of the family business. “They are extremely useful onboard.”

Low friction rings provide a good alternative to plain bearing blocks in most applications where the line movements are minimal and the loads are high. For example back-stays, reefing points, jibs’ sheet leads and lazy jacks.
