Selden PBB80 Double Cheek Block 80 mm – Plain Bearing

The Selden PBB80 double cheek block (408-001-20) is designed for high-load applications where fixed mounting and efficient load distribution are required. With two 80 mm sheaves in a compact deck-mounted design, this block is ideal for guiding multiple lines or creating compact tackle systems with minimal installation height.

Mounted directly onto the deck, mast or boom, this double cheek block provides a stable and reliable solution for heavy-duty line handling. It is especially suitable for applications where space is limited and a low-profile installation is essential.

As part of the Selden PBB80 plain bearing range, this block is optimized for high static loads and controlled trimming. It is widely used on cruising and performance yachts for demanding rigging setups.

The block features two glass fibre-reinforced sheaves with polymer bushings, ensuring smooth rope handling under load. The stainless steel reinforcement strap and fibre-reinforced composite cheeks provide excellent strength, durability and prevent line jamming.

With a safe working load of 2000 kg and a breaking load of 4000 kg, this block is built for heavy-duty marine environments.

The flat base allows secure mounting with three M8 bolts, ensuring a stable installation even under high loads.
