Factor 55 1.0 Aluminum Hawse Fairlead is machined from 1 inch thick USA 6000 series aluminum bar. The industry standard fairlead thickness is .75 inches thick. The thicker aluminum bar results in a larger outer fillet radius for the synthetic rope to slide against. This results in less stress on the rope fibers during high angular pulls, increasing the life of your synthetic rope. These fairleads are the industry?s first Hawse fairleads with a taller opening that is compatible with larger ? inch diameter rope tube thimbles. There is also a machined outer corner chamfer to reduce rope stress for those than plan on using the winch as a front suspension ?suck down? device. These fairleads come in a durable MIL-A-8625F TYPE III gun metal gray hard anodized finish with a laser engraved logo. Type III hard anodized coating is the best surface finish for Hawse aluminum fairleads because a hard coating can resist the abrasion damage from a dirty/gritty synthetic winch rope rubbing across it; especially during extreme side pulls where rope fiber stresses are extremely high. Mil-A-8625 Type III hard anodized finish leaves a .002? thick Al2O3 ceramic coating that is in the top 5 hardest materials known to mankind and not too far away from diamond hardness. Another valuable material property from hard anodized coatings are the low coefficients of friction. Low friction = lower rope heat. Only drawback? Hard anodizing is not offered in typical bright and fancy anodized colors. Cosmetic Type II anodized finishes, powder coated, and raw or polished aluminum will wear away with time and decrease rope life. All Factor 55 fairleads only come in Mil-A-8625 hard gray finishes. Not fancy, but it is the proper finish to extend the life of your synthetic rope.
