Mickey-Ring®, Multi-Anchor Friction Rings - Lift orientable
Range : Lab Innovation | Connectique & Déviation de charges "Versatility at the service of textile performance."
Concept description: The Mickey-Ring® is a high-tech friction ring with a unique three-pass geometry reminiscent of an iconic silhouette. Designed to multiply anchoring and deviation possibilities, it can be used to simultaneously manage several lines or create compact reeving systems. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with a special surface treatment, it offers exceptional glide while minimizing wear on your ropes.
Innovation through Geometry: Unlike a conventional friction ring, the Mickey-Ring® offers three distinct points of passage. This architecture allows you to organize your maneuvers with total clarity:
Central passage: For the main line of force or structural mooring.
Lateral passages: for insertion of control lines, diverters or secondary control systems.
Strengths & Benefits :
Compact & Light: Replaces heavier, more cumbersome multiple pulley systems.
Extreme strength: No moving mechanical parts, guaranteeing total reliability even under very high loads.
Hardcoat" surface treatment: Hard anodizing guarantees an ultra-low coefficient of friction and enhanced durability against abrasion.
Textile versatility: Ideal for use with Loop-type buckles or textile shackles for a 100% flexible connection.
Areas of application :
Boating & Yachting: Organization of mast step maneuvers, backstay adjustment or sheet deflection.
Pruning & Forestry: Creation of deviation points for abseiling or small traction sheaves.
Industry & Handling: Distributing loads over several anchors and guiding textile ropes.
Rescue & Difficult Access: Organization of compact multi-point belays.
The Mickey-Rings® 3D anchoring device redefines the management of multiple moorings. Thanks to its unique design, it allows multiple connection points with large deflection angles without adding unnecessary friction.
Performance & Lightweight: A genuine alternative to heavy equipment, it offers an exceptional weight-to-strength ratio: it's up to 10 times lighter than a conventional pulley, yet capable of withstanding very heavy loads.
Features & functions :
Triple self-orienting connection: automatically aligns ropes to prevent twisting.
Dyneema® technology: High-strength textile bonding for maximum durability and light weight.
3D versatility: Ideal for complex settings requiring multi-axis transfers.
Optimization: Ensures smooth, safe load transfer.
Specifications & Compliance
Material: High-strength 7075-T6 aluminum (hard anodized).
Conformity: Complies with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as a linking accessory for load control.
Note on standardization
The Mickey-Ring® is a deflection and connection accessory. For specific uses requiring PPE approval, certification according to safety standard test protocols can be considered on request for your industrial projects.
Lab Innovation Consulting
Optimize your rigging. The Mickey-Ring® is the perfect tool for creating an additional textile hoist. By combining two Mickey-Rings with textile shackles, you get an ultra-light, unalterable effort-reduction system capable of withstanding loads that few mechanical pulleys of the same size could handle.
