Nautos Low Friction Ring

The Nautos Low Friction Ring (30 mm & 40 mm) is a precision-engineered, lightweight alloy ring designed to minimise friction and wear in high-load marine rope and control line systems. The hard-anodised aluminium body with a Teflon finish enables extremely smooth movement under load, making it ideal for boaters across Ireland dealing with challenging coastal conditions and tight control-line routing.Available in two outer diameters (30 mm & 40 mm), these rings suit a variety of rope sizes and applicationswhether youre upgrading halyards, vang systems or high-performance control lines. Their compact size, robust build and proven performance make them especially suitable for Irish sailing, cruising and workboat environments where reliability, durability and low-maintenance are key.Use cases range from dinghy rigs to larger cruising yachts where reducing friction directly improves handling, responsiveness and system longevity.FeaturesAvailable in 30 mm and 40 mm outer diameters, offering flexibility for different rope sizes and applications.Hard anodised aluminium construction with a Teflon coated finish ensures ultra-low friction and high wear resistance.High safe-working loads and breaking loads (for example, the 40 mm version: SWL ~ 980 kg, breaking load ~ 1,800 kg).Suitable for high-strength control lines and halyard systems; supports rope diameter up to ~10 mm in the 40 mm version.Lightweight design helps reduce weight aloftbeneficial for yacht performance and handling.Ideal for retrofit installations and upgrades in Irish yachts and boats where components need to endure salt-spray, vibration and frequent use.Provides a clean, professional finish on the deck or rigging layoutimportant for owner-operators and commercial vessels alike.Specifications30 mm Version40 mm VersionOuter Diameter30 mm40 mmMaximum Rope Diameter~7-8 mm~10 mmSafe Working Load (SWL)~800 kg~980 kgBreaking Load~1,500 kg~1,800 kgWeight~8 g~16-17 gConstructionHard anodised aluminium with Teflon finishSame
