Antal Aluminium Sheave OPF 140 mm
A genuine Antal replacement sheave for OPF (One-Piece Frame) blocks. The 140 mm aluminium sheave runs on a low-friction composite fibre radial bearing with self-captive Delrin® side balls, delivering smooth rotation under very high loads with no lubrication required. Supplied with a ground stainless-steel hub for precise alignment and long service life, it’s ideal for refreshing OPF blocks or creating custom high-load turning points on cruising and performance yachts.
Why it’s a smart upgrade
-
High load, low friction: composite fibre radial bearing plus Delrin® side balls maintain efficiency under heavy sheet/halyard loads.
-
Durable and light: hard-anodised aluminium sheave and stainless hub stand up to salt, UV and grit.
-
Drop-in fit: built around Antal’s OPF architecture for quick swaps and consistent performance.
