Ronstan 30QT Orbit Winch w/Quick Trim

<p><strong>30QT Orbit Winch with Quick Trim</strong></p><p>Ronstan’s Orbit Winches™ are the new benchmark in high performance alloy winches. With a combination of fresh design thinking and proven manufacturing expertise, Orbit Winches™ weigh significantly less and offer lower line entry heights than any other winch in their class. </p><p>Remarkably easy to service, they require no tools for disassembly or maintenance. The machined aluminium drums feature the same Power Ribs™ that many sailors will recognize from Andersen Stainless Steel Winches®, well-known for their impressive line grip, smooth control, and minimal rope wear.</p><p><strong>Power Ribs™</strong></p><p>The exceptional grip provided by the Power Ribs™ offers a multitude of benefits: requiring fewer wraps around the drum, reducing the load held in the self-tailer, and encouraging the line to slide easily upward on the drum to avoid riding turns. The non-abrasive drum surface extends the service life of running rigging and allows smooth and controlled easing, even under high loads.</p><p><strong>No Tools Required</strong></p><p>Full disassembly and reassembly can conveniently be performed without the need for any tools. To remove the drum, pull back the spring-loaded release latch, and a slight anti-clockwise rotation will allow the self-tailing arm to be lifted from the winch. From there, the drum can be removed from the winch's center stem. </p><p>When completing reassembly in reverse order, an audible click confirms positive engagement between the self-tailing arm and bayonet notches on the center stem. These notches allow the self-tailing arm to be locked in one of eight positions at rotational increments of 45 degrees.</p><p>Orbit Winches™ sizes 30QT and 40QT are equipped with the unique, patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer. </p><p><strong>What is QuickTrim™?</strong></p><p>QuickTrim™ allows sailors to conveniently and safely ease the line without removing the winch handle or taking the line out of the self-tailer.</p><p>A small anti-clockwise rotation of the self-tailing cover allows the self-tailer to turn beneath it like a sheave as the rope is eased, with confident grip and control assured by the drum’s smooth surface and Power Ribs™.</p><p>Letting the top cover spring back into place locks the self-tailer again to resume normal use.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul><li>Lightweight machined aluminum drum</li><li>Distinctive Power Ribs™ ensures a controlled grip at all times, whether tensioning or easing</li><li>Proven Andersen winch gearing configuration</li><li>No tools are required for configuration and servicing</li><li>Sprung self-tailing jaws to accept 6-10mm line</li><li>QuickTrim™ patented self-tailing feature for rapid sail trim and smooth adjustment (30QT & 40QT only)</li></ul><p><strong>Materials:</strong></p><ul><li>Hard anodized aluminum drum and center stem, aluminum self-tailing arm</li><li>Grade 316 stainless steel shaft and pawls</li><li>Grade 2205 stainless steel axle pins</li><li>Aluminum bronze gears</li><li>Glass-filled nylon self tailer</li><li>Self-lubricating acetal bearings</li></ul><p><strong>Specifications:</strong></p><ul><li>Weight (kilogram): 3.1kg</li><li>Power Ratio: 30.2:1</li><li>Base Diameter (millimeters): 136mm</li><li>Maximum Pulling Load (kilogram): 700kg</li><li>Drum Diameter (millimeters): 86mm</li><li>Base Diameter (millimeters): 136mm</li><li>Height (millimeters): 166mm</li><li>Line Entry L (millimeters): 57mm</li><li>Line Size (millimeters): 7-12mm</li><li>Gear Ratio 1st Speed: 1.4:1</li><li>Gear Ratio 2nd Speed: 5.2:1</li><li>Power Ratio 1st Speed: 8.3:1</li><li>Power Ratio 2nd Speed: 30.2:1</li></ul> <!--- cis2:mm5sl5hm --->
