Sheave Axle Pins & Cover Plates


Sheave Axle Pins
Sheaves ride on Axle Pins. Axle Pins in most Masts, Booms and many Exit Blocks are removable for ease of Sheave replacement.

SS Sheave Axle Pins with Tab are listed below, but Clevis Pins and Rigging Pins are also commonly used as Sheave Axles. Rigging Pins and plain Straight Pins require use of removable Cover Plates, below, to keep them in place.
In addition, many Masts and Booms have proprietary fittings that use specialized Sheave Axles. These are listed by manufacturer under the particular fitting they are used in, See Spars.
 

Sheave Axle Pins with Tab
A variety of SS Sheave Axle Pins with Tabs are used in masts with welded-in mastheads and sheave boxes. Pins are welded to SS Tabs, which are screwed to the mast and allow for easy removal. Most Kenyon Sheave Axle Pins have a thin stem where they are welded to the tab, which allows the tab to be bent to fit the mast contour where it attaches to mast. Most others are welded at a fixed angle. Listed below are standard sizes, but others are available.
