Range : Lab Innovation | Dynamic Lifting & Textile Engineering
Concept description: The Hook-Nub® PA-C is a low-friction, open-type pulley designed to offer absolute lightness without compromising strength. Its innovative spherical shape allows for smooth multidirectional glide and incorporates a rope retention system (running or standing as desired), ensuring that the line remains in place even without tension.
Applications (excluding PPE): A genuine "Swiss Army knife" for lifting and hoisting, it can be adapted to a wide range of sectors:
Industrial Lifting & Handling: Creation of light hoist systems, gearbox cascades and load transfers.
Hallage & Traction: winch line deviation, mobile reeving and precision adjustment.
Maritime & Nautical: 3D adjustment of headsails, backstays, boom vang cascades and sheet returns.
Energy & Maintenance: Ideal for technicians who need to transport their equipment manually at height.
Nodus Factory modularity: The Hook-Nub® is designed to be combined with our high-performance textile connectors:
Textile shackles: Type M or MS® High Load.
Buckles & Loops: Loop or Lock® solutions for rapid structural fastening.
High-Tech & Eco-responsible material: Made from PA11 filled with 30% recycled carbon, this pulley is derived from renewable resources (castor oil):
Featherweight: Up to 3 times lighter than aluminum for equivalent strength.
Thermal stability: Performance guaranteed from -40°C to +180°C.
Mechanical properties: Modulus of elasticity of 8 GPa and tensile strength of 170 MPa.
Optimized Friction: Coefficient of friction of 0.15 for smooth rope movement.
Specifications & Compliance
Material: Bio-sourced technical polymer (PA11 + Carbon 30%).
Conformity: Complies with Machine Directive 2006/42/EC for lifting loads.
Safety: Do not exceed load limits.
Note: This product is not PPE and must not be used for personal safety.
Lab Innovation Tip:
The agile alternative to aluminum. Where the Aluminium 7075 version excels in pure abrasion (sand, steel cable), Hook-Nub® PA-C is the sovereign tool for textile lifting where the weight/performance ratio is priority number 1.
