VALUE ADDED
McKissick® Roll-Forged Heavy Duty Sheaves are made by upsetting and forming the groove and flange walls in multiple steps, eliminating the
need to split and weaken the groove. This exclusive forging process adds extra strength to the critical groove section.
McKissick Domed Reinforced Extreme Duty Roll Forged Sheaves are welded in a circular pattern thus eliminating the higher stresses created
by welding ribs or other forms of stiffeners.
McKissick Heavy Duty Sheaves are available with machined groove rings or machine forged rings utilized for the rim or hub.
McKissick Heavy Duty Closed-Die Forged Sheaves offer the performance of closed-die forging with the precision machining capabilities of CNC
machinery.
McKissick Normal Duty Malleable Cast Sheaves provide economical solutions for normal service applications.
McKissick Sheaves come in a variety of sizes to suit your specific applications. Crosby offers many sheaves as standard and these are shown
in the pages that follow. For applications that require unique specifications, Crosby can make minor modifications to many of the sheaves listed
at a reasonable charge. We can also custom design and manufacture sheaves to your exact requirements. McKissick roll forged sheaves can be
furnished balanced or with lightening holes at a reasonable charge on request.
Crosby’s Hardening Technique is a science. It provides a precise maximum hardness for wear-resistance across the wire rope contact area.
The McKissick sheave groove is flame hardened to a minimum 35 Rockwell C for a 140° contact area with the wire rope (upon special request the
McKissick sheave groove can be flame hardened to a minimum 50 Rockwell C for a 150° contact area with the wire rope). The solid steel plate
provides the ideal surface for flame hardening and a closer tolerance fit to the wire rope to reduce fatigue and wear.
The McKissick Hub is stepped to eliminate stress failure in the weld, common in traditional hub designs. The hub is pressed into place with
complete metal-to-metal contact. This helps ensure an accurate alignment to the hub’s axis so there is no wobble or lopping of the rotating sheave.
The precision aligned hub / sheave wheel combination adds to the bearing life and keeps the sheave on the job longer.

DO NOT BE FOOLED
The Elements of a Superior Sheave.
Every McKissick® Roll-Forged sheave starts as a single piece of AISI C-1035
carbon steel plate. Utilizing a “time proven” proprietary roll forging process that adds 1
extra strength to the critical groove section, the sheave is formed from a precision
flame cut blank. The hub is then pressed into place with complete metal-to-metal
contact and secured with a deep penetrating weld to ensure proper fit and longer
life. Before the McKissick® name is added, each sheave is thoroughly inspected to

angles, ensuring long term Wireline performance
- Cold formed split steel sheaves tend to have flange
sections that are thinner as well as variations in
thickness on the same sheave, resulting in less than
desired performance during critical applications
- Cold formed split steel sheaves are limited to a
maximum flange thickness of 50% of web section
