The Barton High Load Eye 6mm Bore is a rugged marine rigging component designed for demanding conditions. Built by Barton Marine from marine-grade aluminum and finished with HV500 hard anodizing, it delivers exceptional strength with minimal weight on deck.
-
Material & Finish: Marine-grade aluminum with HV500 hard anodized finish for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
-
Size Range & Bullseye Diameters: Six sizes to fit lines from 3 mm to 16 mm, with bullseye diameters from 6 mm to 28 mm. The smallest size accepts a 3 mm line; the largest accommodates a 16 mm line.
-
Strength-to-Weight Advantage: 272% stronger and 51% lighter than standard plain bearing equivalents.
-
Low Friction & Efficiency: HV500 hard anodizing and curved surface profile minimize friction, with only a 15% increase over standard bearings in typical use.
-
Wear-Resistant Performance: After more than 300 hours of abrasion testing, the HV500 coating shows no visual wear, delivering long service life.
-
Durability & Construction: Marine-grade aluminum construction with a hard anodized finish for corrosion resistance in challenging saltwater environments.
