Seldén pulley ranges: performance and durability

Seldén friction sheaves: ideal for static loads

Seldén friction sheaves are designed to withstand high static loads while maintaining good reliability. Their bearingless design reduces wear points, offering high mechanical strength. These pulleys are available with sheaves ranging from 16 to 100 mm in diameter, and are ideal for systems where tension is constant.
Typical applications for friction sheaves :

  • Boom vang
  • Hoists
  • Halyards
  • Sheets and spinnaker arms
  • Boom retractors
  • Cascades

Seldén friction sheaves are sturdy, easy to use and ideal for operations requiring prolonged tension.

Seldén roller sheaves (RBB): fluid and responsive under dynamic loads

Seldén roller pulleys are ideal for high dynamic loads. Thanks to their low rotational resistance, they enable fast, precise and smooth maneuvering even under heavy loads. A major asset for regattas and active sailing.

Typical applications for roller pulleys :

Equipped with roller bearings, these pulleys guarantee ultra-smooth rotation, facilitating fast, precise adjustments during sailing maneuvers.

Seldén ball-bearing pulleys: everyday versatility and performance

Seldén ball-bearing pulleys, fitted with stainless steel bearings, are ideal for applications requiring medium and dynamic loads. These pulleys provide smooth rotation with minimal friction, perfect for frequent operation.

Typical applications for ball-bearing pulleys :

  • Setting bosses
  • Mainsail sheets for light sails
  • Spinnaker sheets, barber-haulers
  • Genoa sheets
  • Ropes on sport boats
  • Vang

These pulleys are particularly suited to high-performance sailboats and dinghies, combining lightness, strength and versatility.

Pulleys designed to withstand extreme conditions

Seldén sheaves are built to withstand the most demanding marine conditions. Thanks to high-quality composite materials and advanced surface treatments, they are protected against corrosion, UV and wear, guaranteeing long service life.

When you choose Seldén pulleys, you're equipping your boat with quality equipment, designed to optimize your maneuvers, increase your performance and guarantee the reliability of your rig, season after season.
