Built around a 60 millimeter sheave, it carries a working load limit of 2,422 pounds, giving it the strength to handle heavily loaded sheets and control lines without hesitation. The block's side cheeks are constructed from aluminum, providing durability and long-term resistance to the stresses of repeated high-load cycles while keeping the block's overall weight manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, the block runs on a central plain bearing combined with Delrin side thrust ball bearings. This bearing arrangement is designed to keep friction low so sail trim adjustments stay smooth and responsive, even under significant line tension. The combination of a plain bearing for radial load and ball bearings for side thrust loading lets the block handle both straight-line pull and the lateral loading generated by traveler systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis single block is designed to work with Lewmar traveler systems, making it a compatible upgrade or replacement component within existing Lewmar rigging setups. It suits demanding sailing conditions where reliable, low-friction line control is required, and its aluminum construction is intended to reduce rope wear over the life of the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29196001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailboat Blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheave Outside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Load Limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2422 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum side cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Central plain bearing with Delrin side thrust ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.36 x 2.36 x 0.04 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Lubricant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the working load limit of the Lewmar 29196001 block?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 60mm HTX Single Block, part 29196001, carries a working load limit of 2422 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size sheave does this Lewmar HTX block use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a 60 millimeter sheave, sized for the HTX single block line of Lewmar hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bearing system does the 29196001 block use?\u003c\/strong\u003e A central plain bearing handles the main radial load, paired with Delrin side thrust ball bearings that reduce friction under lateral loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the block's housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The side cheeks on the Lewmar 29196001 block are made of aluminum, chosen for durability under repeated high-load use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this block compatible with Lewmar traveler systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Lewmar 60mm HTX Single Block is designed to work with Lewmar traveler systems as part of an existing rigging setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Lewmar 29196001 block weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This block weighs 0.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this block?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar HTX Single Block measures 2.36 x 2.36 x 0.04 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a single or double block?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 29196001 is a single block, meaning it has one sheave rather than two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the block come with more than one sheave included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, part 29196001 is sold as a single-sheave block with a unit count of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat lubricant should be used to service this block?\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease is the compatible lubricant for maintaining the Lewmar 60mm HTX Single Block's bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of sailing use is this block designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 29196001 block is designed for high-load sail handling on performance sailboats, including demanding traveler and sheet control applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025132265691,"sku":"LEW-29196001","price":77.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/LEW-29196001__60797.1722509448.500.750.jpg?v=1785329117","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/lewmar-60mm-htx-single-block-2422-lb-working-load-limit-part-29196001","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
