C-Tech® carbon friction rings, Nodus Factory™ are very light, reliable and highly resistant to friction for dynamic use. Essential aboard your sailboat with our textile connectors "Loops, Lock,..." to be able to optimize your deck plan for greater safety and performance. Carbon rings are around 10 times lighter than aluminum rings and 6 times lighter than steel rings. This lightness is a major advantage in applications where weight is a limiting factor, such as sailing or aviation.
C-Tech XL® carbon eye-extra large ring
The Nodus Factory C-Tech XL low-friction carbon ring is specially designed for multiple maneuvering systems (3D genoa clew adjustment).
Unlike conventional low-friction rings, the C-Tech XL ring has a larger inner eye, while maintaining very high working loads.

Data sheet
C-Tech XL carbon, low-friction ring in carbon-filled polyamide
- High Friction ¬ Technical polyamide C-Tech® Pa 11 ¬ 30% carbon Black
Thermoplastic polymer from the aliphatic polyamide family, derived from castor oil and therefore of renewable origin.
- 2 components / Base polymer, recycled carbon fibers
Strong and rigid: Carbon reinforces PA11, making it ideal for parts subject to high loads.
Lightweight: PA11 is lighter than other composite materials.
Chemical resistance: PA11 is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for many industrial applications.
