What is the benefit of Ceramic Coated CAM's, Bases and Jaws in my rope holding product?
Ceramic coated parts create a rougher surface texture on the gripping surface. As well as improved take up of a loaded line, this offers more consistent rope holding on performance line covers containing fibres such as Vectran, Technora, Kevlar and PBO. A 15-20% improvement in rope holding can be expected. Ceramic coatings also provide greater resistance to wear and heat which can build up during frequent high speed manoeuvres. Generally, if you have upgraded to higher performance lines containing specialist fibres it is recommended that the Cam, Base or Jaws is also upgraded to match this modern rope technology.
Ceramic Cam and Base upgrades are available for the XCS, XTS and XX clutches and Ceramic Coated Jaws Sets are available for XX and ZS rope holding ranges.
