The Revolver Screwgate is the carabiner that a lot of people have been waiting for and it is now finally available.
The screwgate version also features a 'clean nose'.
It features the same friction reducing pulley as the wiregate version, but this model is fully certified as both a carabiner and pulley. This will make it ideal for use in hauling or rescue systems where complete safety and legislative compliance is required.
The Revolver was the reason for I-Beam technology being concieved because this process crucially allows the body to deal with the stresses involved in placing a pulley into a carabiner whist remaining light enough for general use.
Technical details:
- The 7075 series pulley runs on a dry lube "IGUS" bearing, which is seated on a high tensile stainless sleeve and spindle. This will continue to rotate with loads up to 11Kn before any deformation occurs.In the unlikely event that the pulley does deform - and we have not seen one case yet - the biner still acts as a full strength (24Kn) carabiner.
- It has been anodised for protection against the elements especially coastal and rigouirous mountain enviroments.
- Lubrication:The 'IGUS' bearing will run without lubrication, however like all gates and barrels a periodic clean and oil will prolong the units life.
