Torlon® Balls
Torlon® balls are used for high-strength, wear-resistant ball bearings. Excellent for High-Load Recirculating Ball Bearings used in Captive Small Boat Traveller Cars.
Also used in Headsail Roller Furlings: Torlon® ball bearings in each swivel carry the load so that the sail furls freely. An over center halyard attachment can distribute the load uniformly to each ball bearing, providing a smooth rotation.

Increases rolling load by 40% verses acetal balls in recirculating ball bearing travellers.
Small Boat Traveller Cars move freely, even under high non-vertical loads. Low-load dinghy cars use Delrin Bearings, while hi-load cars for large dinghies, keel boats and offshore boats to 27 ft (8m) use Torlon® balls to increase working load. Torlon balls provide maximum load carrying ability.
