Blocks guide and redirect wire rope, changing the direction of pull and, in block-and-tackle arrangements, providing mechanical advantage to reduce the effort needed to lift a load.
The sheave's groove diameter and tread diameter must be matched to the wire rope diameter and construction. An undersized sheave accelerates wire rope wear and fatigue; the manufacturer's minimum sheave-to-rope diameter ratio should be followed.
Rated capacity depends on the sheave or block size, bearing type, and reeving arrangement. Multi-part reeving changes the effective load on the block versus the load being lifted - confirm this in the rigging plan.
Inspect the groove for wear, cracking, or a sharp/worn profile, and check that the sheave rotates freely on its bearing. Lubricate per the manufacturer's schedule, and remove from service if groove wear approaches the rope diameter.
