ART RopeGuide Friction Saver with Link Pulley

 

The Tunnel Ring:  At roughly 50 percent of the weight of a fully round profile ring, it achieves comparable stability and  even better safety at the same time.

The trick and the solution are typical ART: a Tunnel ring instead of a solid ring. The rope is protected inside the ring. Unbelievable but true: in this way, the rope increases the breaking strength of the ring, and vice versa. A clever symbiosis Less weight, higher breaking strength, and double the safety, since the runner to the redirection pulley also hangs in the ring as well as in the rope loop!

The Material:  The surface of the cambium saver is not a rope and not a webbing belt, but 8 mm of parallel sewn double rope! This combines the advantages of both rope and webbing: high abrasion-resistance, wide contact surface and high degree of tensile strength, thanks to a tunnel ring.

The Fender:   There is a small “fender” attached behind the tunnel ring. It ensures that the ring straightens up when the rope is pulled out of a crutch, making it easier to slide through narrower crutches

The Pulley:  The Link 2 Pulley also ensures smooth, safe rope operation and the Zip-Absorber 1 is a built-in “airbag” for safety.

• Body and parts are made of aluminium machined in the solid (except Link 2)
• Integrated ZipAbsorber 1 (shock absorber)
• Super smooth rope feed thanks to Link pulley
• Continuously adjustable length
• Can be combined with DoubleSnapper 3
• Easy lifting of climbing system after having thrown the ring end
• Optimal choking mode (choking the trunk)
• Thanks to the parallel sewn double rope no more rolling of the friction saver when choked (as with standard ropes)
• Automatic blocking without slippage
• Easy adjustment even after heavy loads
• Top safety and loading capacity based on the TunnelRing rope combination
• Optimized retrieving of ring based on integrated fender
• Easy release of device when retrieving
• Low kink friction saver provides nice width and abrasion resistance by parallel sewn 8 mm polyester/Dyneema rope
• Thanks to the Trapeze 5 installment and retrieving of the climbing line is very comfortable
