A key feature within the TiiTAN bearing system is the use of a precision plain bearing washer. When the TiiTAN is exposed to extreme static loads, which would normally cause damage to the internal bearing system, it changes to a plain bearing block. Stopping the ball bearings from getting damaged and thus no longer performing as designed. As soon as the static load is reduced the TiiTAN returns to a high-performing dynamic block.The TiiTAN block is perfect for use across a wide range of boats, including high-performance dinghies, foiling dinghies, sports boats and grand prix yachts. Applications can range from vang cascades, halyard turning points, backstay systems, highly loaded cunningham, and outhaul systems.
