UB-1-C Universal Roller mounted on crossarm with XA-1 adapter

    Bethea's UB-1-C Universal Roller is the solution to your search for a quality engineered sheave that is lightweight (7.4 lbs), versatile, durable and dependable. It can be intermixed with similar stringing blocks and mounting attachments manufactured by others without affecting conductor sag and tension.
    The quality of the UB-1-C roller is not surpassed by any roller of its type. Its aluminum parts are cast from high strength A356 alloy, heat-treated to the T6 condition, giving it the capability of withstanding rough treatment under adverse conditions while supporting heavy loads.
    The UB-1-C may be attached directly to ANSI Class 52-3 & 5 ball and socket insulators using the socket eye supplied as an integral part of the unit. If desired, the UB-1-C socket eye can be attached to optionally available fittings, i.e., our CB-55 Clevis Ball; YCB-65 Y-Clevis Ball; OEB-55 Oval Eye; BH-5L Ball Hook or SHB-1 Ball Safety Hook.
    Other optional mounting adapters are also available: IA-1 for Clamp Top Type Post Inuslators; IA-2 for Tie Top Post Insulators and XA-1 for Crossarms. These adapters must be ordered seperately. The UB1-A has a 90 degree adapter mounting lugs on each side of the frame. THese allow positioning the sheave horizontally, if desired, when used with the XA-1 crossarm adapter or the IA-2 when attached to a horizontal  tie post insulator.
    The transfer of conductor or rope from UB-1-C Universal Roller is quickly and easily accomplished by the removal of a single Ball Loc pin. This pin is designed for safe, smooth, single-motion hand operation. The Ball Loc pin is secured to the roller with a welded closed link chain. When released, the frame opens wide for conductor clipping.
    The sheave groove is profile machined for centricity, thus permitting more precise sagging of the conductor. In addition, the universal roller is available with urethane sheave lining (UB-1-CUL) or neoprene lined sheave (UB-1-CNL).
    Conrad Type, ABEC precision ground, deep groove ball bearings are used in the sheave hub. They are permanently lubricated with Bethea BSG150 wide temperature range (-60F to 600F) synthetic lubricant.
