Ball Bearing Traveller Systems

Smooth Control

Ronstan traveller systems deliver the performance required for optimising sail trim, responding quickly to changing conditions and getting the right balance from the loads on sails, rig and foils. Ronstan systems have been put to the test by Volvo Race teams, Vendée Globe challengers, and the professionals on the prestige international circuits who demand the highest performance and dependability, with no room for compromise.

Ball Bearing cars
Machined alloy car bodies provide high strength and durability with minimum weight. Low profile cars ensure that sheets and control lines run close to the deck. Highly efficient recirculating Torlon® ball bearing systems allow precision adjustment and control even in the most demanding conditions

Sliderod cars
Sliderod cars are suitable for static load applications where adjustment under load is not required and are machined from a dedicated alloy body profile.

Attention to detail
Car bodies are machined to precise specifications, then honed to an exceptional finish before being treated and anodised for maximum corrosion protection. Stainless steel elements are put through a special high energy finishing process to achieve a uniquely smooth edge and surface finish. Spring-loaded plunger stops engage with stop holes in tracks and can be locked in the “up” (disengaged) position.

Control accessories
Cam cleat supports can be adjusted to the optimum cleating angle. Control sheaves provide purchase systems for mainsheet travellers and genoa sheet lead adjustment. Ball Bearing sheave and becket addition kits are available for cars and track control ends to provide extra control line purchase where required.

Tracks
7 track sizes are available in the standard product range, to match system specifications to individual requirements. Beam track options are available for unsupported spans (cockpit, companionway, hatch, etc.). Curved track can be supplied with bend in either horizontal or vertical plane. Minimum bend radius depends on car length.
